So I got an op-up (woo hoo!, second ever) on DEN-CLT on a 737 yesterday. I have used a few e-500s from SAN and SNA to DEN, and regularly use them on DEN-BWI. So I was a little surprised to see a disposable tray with cold food and plastic utensils (and no warm nuts) on a 4PM-9PM flight. I was also surprised that they were serving Y using trays instead of a cart. Are these plane-specific programs that cause the lower service, route specific, time, or something else. The warm food, metal utensils, plates, etc. that I'm used to made this feel like F-. Now, since I debated using 3-e500s and didn't need any, I'm not really complaining, just trying to understand. Thanks.

The Trotter appetizer was really good, but as usual just tiny portions. I went against my natural instinct and also ordered the Trotter beef. It turned out to be quite passable -- tender (but a little stringy) beef and a nice sauce. Nothing really "Thai" about it though.

Salad and greens fresh and tasty - especially smothered with the Asian dressing which is to die for. (As attested to in another thread)
Forget the cod. "Chinese style" apparently means totally flavorless, lightly smeared with a completely uninspired sauce, which appeared to have been thickened with some kind of starch product. Would have been better if they'd used the same dressing as for the green salad.
