According to that thread with sources inside the UA kitchens, it was Campbell's Foodservice. The links are dead though and I can't find anything with a quick search on their site. Maybe it was discontinued?

Also, for lunch and dinner - garlic bread. I believe ua1flyer had the corner on that market for quite a while.

But yes, no matter how disgusting the breakfast was, I could always count on the cinnamon roll to save the same. Same intl biz dinner, I could always count on the ice cream sundae. Now, I'm lucky if I get any dessert at all, let alone ice cream

Sticky fingers
I always felt guilty choosing the cinnamon roll back in the day but never regretted it. Except that I always ended up with sticky fingers . . . ya gotta pull that thang apart to eat it properly. Not with a knife and fork like a Seinfeld candy bar.

Before the merger CO had real croissants - buttery and flaky just like they should be. What is served now is a very mediocre roll in the shape of a croissant. Definitely not chef-inspired thats for sure. Close your eyes and eat it and 100/100 people would NOT identify it as a croissant.

To be honest, Im glad the basket is gone
Do yall know how many leftover rolls I used to consume‽ I once had four on a flight. Four. Sweet. Cinnamon. Rolls. And a croissant.
My blood sugar certainly thanks UAL for thiscut service flow enhancement

UAs F/J service is garbage and they honestly dont care. Go with AA or DL if you want a decent in-flight meal in a premium cabin from a US carrier. I am a 1K but cant fly UA on transcon flights anymore sadly.
