PDB of Water or Proseco
Still wish there would be at least a pack of nuts with the cocktails
The usual options of Zatar Chicken or Impossible Meatballs. My first time having the meatballs and they were really bland. I did like the cheese appetizer at least.

10/1 UA 422 EWR-SFO 6:30pm departure
Choices of chicken breast or Veggie Ragu. Asked to hold the entree until mid-flight and request was accommodated. Chicken breast is not bad although pretty boring without much flavor, sometimes they have ample sauce to help, this one was quite light on the sauce. Roll was not warmed. No nuts either.
Interested in trying the Veggie Ragu and request was accommodated as well. Surprisingly tasty with good flavor. Probably better than the chicken breast unless you were craving meat.
Seconds of the chocolate chip cheesecake was tasty as well.

I had the fruit bowl on IAD-SFO two weeks ago.

Just had the fruit bowl yesterday as part of the dinner tray yesterday (LGA-DEN), same thing the week before (ORD-IAH), etc. The fruit bowl along with the zataar chicken, has not changed in recent months. No issues with the fruit bowl, but the main entree is just sad at this point; especially when other carriers are constantly rotating their menus.

Just got off a IAH-EWR lunchtime flight on the Dreamliner. had the Impossible meatballs with the new cheese appetizer instead of the fruit. Definitely more filling but the mozzarella is pretty low grade and it's fairly bland. Needs some balsamic drizzle. I guess it's a step in the right direction though. Now UA just needs to update their main course options.

I've taken a punt and ordered the Asian Vegetarian for SFO-EWR and EWR-SFO this coming week. Just hoping for a meal with some kick rather than the relatively bland chicken/broccolini or pastas. Afternoon flights both, so "looking forward" to seeing what I'm surprised by. If anyone knows for a fact what I'm going to get, please do let me know in case I need to reverse my decision to gamble!

I love fruit any time of day and find the fruit on UA to be ripe and delicious. Would it have killed UA to add the cheese while not taking away the fruit?!

Yes, the same way it would kill them to bring back hot towels, warm nuts, rotating menus, breakfast breads, and real desserts ...

Yeah, that is not even closely from being practiced. You sitting in the last F row means you would get whatever it's left. Few FAs institute GS/1K prioritization.
