My first UA meal of the year! Excellent inflight service from a mixed LHR/IAD based crew.

DEN-LHR 4 Jan 23 Dinner
Had the turbot. It was ok. I can’t figure out the appetizer however, it’s like flavorless sugar free gummy worms…..but I ate it anyway. Skipped dessert and breakfast.
No voucher for top shelf at the United Club (maybe they don’t do that anymore). Did have onboard pre-departure beverage offering, hot towel, warm nuts. Crew was ok, just not very friendly or outgoing. Meal served all at once, followed by dessert.

Quick question that maybe someone knows the answer to - If you order an Asian Vegetarian special meal in Polaris, does that just replace the entree and you still get the regular salad and dessert?
I can't remember since I usually just roll the dice and choose whatever vegetarian option is on the regular menu when I travel by myself. But in two weeks I'm traveling with my husband and daughters (all vegetarian). We're worried about the regular vegetarian option running out with so many of us, so I put in Asian Vegetarian requests. Just can't remember whether that means we'll get the "good" desserts or instead some sad packaged cookie.

Basking in the glow of four amazing days of Roman food - and clearly in a pasta induced food coma - I tried the chicken. My (smarter than me) wife passed…. The chicken was so dry that even my trusty carry on Tabasco couldn’t revive it. The rice was decent and the Spanish Albariño made up for the meal quality which I still can’t believe has declined so much.
I’m honestly at a loss to explain the salads lately - and how this could be called Tikka Masala chicken escapes me….
