RE:IAD-CDG food service
 
Not an isolated incident. I flew sfo-iad-cdg and back Jan 11/16 in C. Both ways, the appetizer course had been eliminated. Lettuce and veggie salads preceded the main course; no shrimp, etc. The warmish nuts did contain other objects from what appeared to be the RCC bar mix that comes in blue baggies. The only improvement was the champagne this time was Pol Roger.

tisk tisk, cheapen an already poor international product.
Shame on you UA.
People ask me why I want to route thru FRA to go to LHR? LH and SQ of course!

I just flew 940 ORD-FRA in C (am sitting in FRA awaiting my next flight) and we received both the 'normal' warm nuts as well as an appetizer with smoked salmon. It was very good. I also had appetizers on my earlier flights 12/28 ORD-FRA and 1/7 FRA-ORD. I only experienced varying levels of service from satisfactory to excellent.

Duplicate. Sorry.

The DCA-ORD warm nuts today had Spanish peanuts. I was pleasantly surprised. Haven't seen peanuts on an airplane in a long time.

I think the mods must all be sleeping. This should be merged with the
Let's Eat Nut reports edition
:)

Interesting to read of yet another cutback, when Business Traveler magazine reports on their website, that UA will be introducing an improved in flight meal service on their European flights.

Frankly, I have no clue which one is more expensive. But I'd prefer walnuts.

I am flying that flight soon. I hope I am that lucky. I don't like the walnuts and pistachios rank right up there with cashews. I will report back.

Also, it seems that the starter course no longer has a smoked salmon plate. I noticed this in both directions.

Does UA really know how much they upset people when they mess with things that clearly are very popular with their C class pax.

I really look forward to the current nut mix.

It is the soft product that is UA's international J failing and yet they keep screwing it downwards.
