That snack wrap that the red eye got was always good. If memory serves it was a wrap, some carrots and dill dip, and a bag of chips. But it was all cold, and fast to serve.

The 900 mile thing seems arbitrary too. MKE-DEN gets no meal, and is blocked 5 minutes shorter than SEA-DEN. The really bad part is that MKE-DEN misses the cut by 5 miles. FIVE!

That was the sodium bomb covid meals before real food came back. I'd rather have the impossible meatballs than those sandwiches. UA had a perfectly good red eye snack years ago.

Can someone please share the menu for ps (EWR-SFO) in Premium Plus?

ORD HDN 1/12
Preordered the Southwest Tortilla Scramble. Delay of 3 hours or so due to the blizzard in Chicago, which meant having breakfast for lunch (zero complaintes due to the weather/irrops etc). I highly recommend this dish. Much better than the Fritata. Hot towel, PDB, and great service.


HDN-ORD 1/15/24 Delay of about two hours due to late inbound aircraft. No PDB, no hot towels, however nuts were served and I preordered the Beef Enchiladas. Another solid choice and delicious. Great service on this flight as well. Purser interacted with every passenger and just seemed to be happy to be there.



Am not a fan of this dessert, but by reading above it sounds like most people are so I'm in the minority and will save the calories for once.

Well, catering mistake and inattentive crew = not great flight.

The purser did not know that I had pre-ordered the chili and had to go back to verify it. The chili was delivered - it is sadder than the transcon chicken special:



My partner's burger was missing fries, and no salad.

According to the Purser, catering made a mistake and did not board any of the sundae toppings. As of result, the galley FA did not bother set up the Queen's cart for dessert, and the Purser was delivering desserts by hand, with the a tray filled with ice cream, cheese plate, and the blueberry strudel cake that was on other domestic first class meals.



The galley FA also did 2 speed walk-by without stopping at any seat. The FA from the mid-cabin was much more attentive.

One of the pre-landing snacks had changed: it is now couscous salad/hummus and deli meat (turkey and ham) and cheese blocks (white and orange cheddar?), with the metal spoon that was supposed to go with the dessert.

They were miniature apple pies back in 2019. Pie in the Sky was introduced in 2020 with the chocolate ganache filling. Here's a picture from 2019 flight:

Yes, precisely the product I was referring to in my 2019 photos. Not the same manufacturer?

The 2019 and 2020 mini cookie pies are the same manufacturer: Eli's Cheesecake makes them (and many other flavors).

had the enchiladas and it’s pretty tasty. Bread roll was warm and soft. Salad is fresh and goes well with the dressing. The berry crumb cake was also decent. Just came off an Ana flight where all the flavours was good but more muted so it’s probably why I enjoyed United’s meal so much.

Had the tortilla scramble a few days ago on SAN-EWR, not sure if it was a one off, but It was probably my least favorite meal I've had on UA recently, I could taste more salt than anything else. It even made me switch my entree a few days later to the frittata (also not a fan of). I'll give it another try at some point to reassess my opinion, but all I can say right now is... I miss the shakshuka.

Similar catering issues on same route a few weeks ago. Pre-ordered enchiladas weren't loaded, and had to go with the standard PTS pasta.

physioprof

The first time I had the fritatta, I thought it was great. Then the next few times, it was horrible. Scramble has been consistently mediocre. I agree with you that the shakshuka is routinely better than either of those, although my favorite breakfast is always the quiche-type egg pastry.

Choices were enchiladas, tomato burrata manacotti, or charcuterie plate.

The FA took meal orders while we were waiting for some last minute connections, and did it by status (I was in 4A and she was bouncing around.) I'm not sure how many Bailey's they have, but my last drink (it was #4) they had to get it from economy. I'm very grateful for that. It had been a rough day.

Of special note, napkin had a button hole.



Meal was fine. I didn't eat much at the club so I was kinda hungry. Pasta wasn't over cooked, temperature was just right. I will again ask for the pretzel roll to come back.

Question in general. Has anyone else noticed that they're not clearing the upgrade list until the last minute? The cabin was at 9/16 all week, and they didn't clear anyone until about 20 minutes before boarding.

Have some interesting options. Mrs chose the Chicken for EWR-SFO, I chose the pasta. Both of us took the Beef Short Rib SFO-HNL. The vegetarian option SFO-HNL is interesting but I am a sucker for the short rib since the Polaris event in Chicago...

While I don't get the full Polaris experience EWR-SFO, excited to actually fly in the seat instead of being lit on Buffalo Trace trying it at a press event

Flying HNL-SFO-ORD-GRR on the way back, will report back with this leg though.

People have been complaining about the vegetarian chili with polenta, but honestly I found it not too bad and definitely felt better about myself than if I had ordered the chicken.

20 Jan, FLL-EWR, F, Asian Noodle Salad

I miss the clear noodle version with lettuce and peppers. This was a sea of slaw burying the noodles with low quality beef on the side. Not recommended.
