Same menu coming up for EWR-FRA. Any pictures of the cutlet yet? The shrimp and udon both look... sad.

Also, any experience with the kids' meals? My 3yo is more likely to prefer the chicken fingers to any of these, but will definitely demand the ice cream. Do they just sub the entree?

I recently had the shrimp on ORD-HND and really enjoyed it. Good flavor, shrimp had the right texture. Rice cooked well. I'll admit I was hesitant at first, but overall really enjoyed the meal.

Hunh; that does look surprisingly good!

Since nobody has reported back, I'll take one for the team and try the cutlet on Tuesday. It's a late flight and I'll likely have eaten in the lounge before anyway....

As culinary are individual and generally unknown, a better option is to search the thread for recent reviews and pick those that match your culinary preference. What I might pick may not work for you.

Ive tried to do a search of this thread but nothing is showing up - I know its here somewhere but its hard to sort through all the pages and the search function sucks! Does anyone have a recent menu for the flights to Delhi? Just booked a flight and curious what the service flow would be like (its on the newly added second flight to/from DEL). Last time I flew the non stop to DEL was the old Continental BusinessFirst days!! And my last United flight was to CDG in August, and thought maybe there were some improvements in service since then (I know I know but one can dream right? Haha)

Intrigue! New ex-USA menu 11/23

Just boarded UA74 EWR-FRA and the menu is not the preorder menu! See below.

I preordered the cutlet, pax 2&3 preordered the southern bbq bowl, and child 1 has the child meal (but had 2 burgers and I desperately want him to sleep asap). Will report back. Ill be happy with the schnitzel or sleep, toddler-willing:

Did they actually provision based on that menu? Or just load the November cards in by mistake...

How is this an acceptable meal choice for an 11-hour flight CDG-SFO? This is just appalling.

Looks fine to me - and more innovative and substantial than United has been on breakfast TATLs. What about it isn't acceptable to you?

They found some leftovers from November - would be a shame to let them go to waste
