The 09/22 US to Europe menu has already been posted a bunch but here’s some pictures.
The sobo [sic] noodles were tasty by themselves. The dressing is horrible though, it needs a real dressing not the soybean oil salad dressing they are serving. I enjoyed the included Thai red chili (birdseye) slices; I’m pleasantly surprised they include something so spicy.
Short rib was cooked surprisingly well! The onion compote is too sweet for my tastes. Overall dish was good.

We found the pork dish to be quite tasty - the FA said that it wasn't very popular. On MXP-ORD the salad seemed to be unaccompanied by any dressing. When I dug to the bottom I found that the dressing was already in the bowl, but not mixed into the salad. No seconds on nuts on this flight. I got the same "one drink at a time" answer when I asked for 2 gins. The FA just dropped off the second one on her way back up with aisle.

I’m flying EWR GRU within the next few days in Polaris. Are we entitled for advance menu selection? I haven’t received a notice from UA?

Sorry for the late posting, probably not too useful at the end of the month
IAD-AMM 9/8, Probably one of the worst meals I've ever had (including economy)
Only took one bite of the appetizer, chicken wasn't chewable
Ice cream was solid
Pancakes were thoroughly soaked in syrup. "bacon" was very thin
BRU-IAD 9/15

Very helpful! Will be on both IAD-AMM and BRU-IAD very soon
BRU-IAD looks much better.

Any recent US-DEL or DEL-US menus? Same as the current US-EUR and EUR-US menus?

The continued second-class treatment of routes without competition (basically anything other than Europe) is getting old but hardly surprising. Boring salad and same old three entree choices month after month, vs an attempt at a slightly more creative appetizer/salad and four similarly creative entree choices.

I didn't say the offerings on European routes were better (i.e., higher quality) per se. They're just more creative and UA has demonstrated a willingness to cycle and try out new things every month, rather than the same old short rib/salmon/pasta and green salad we get on TPAC and SA routes month after month. Some items, like the flat iron steak served on US-Europe flights in August IIRC, did appear to be well liked.

The flight snack was Turkey pastrami sandwich in addition to some potato chips. More than one vegetarian asked about vegetarian options and basically received plain bread or a bag of chips.
