Tried the fruit plate on BWI-SFO (UA 276) last month. It was surprisingly good, but wasn't worth $9 IMO.
I've given up on the snack boxes and just bring my own stuff now.

I am doing a 2xeqm mileage run flying Munich-IAD-Buenos Aires tomorrow. I have pre-ordered Hindu meals on all flights both ways.
I will see how they are and will post when I return from the trip. I expect no miracles so I am going to take extra food with me plus whatever snippets from the LH Senator lounge in Munich.
I expect nothing from the RCC at IAD so I prefer to take my own stuff to eat on the flights.
United Economy + brings no miracles these days.

Generally Hindu meals are more tasty than Chicken vs Pasta.

Was just on the IAD-GRU-GIG run this week and there was a change in the typical beef / chicken or pasta /chicken choice. It was still a beef selection, but it was meatloaf. Along with mashed potatoes and corn and the other standard fare. Balsamic vinaigrette dressing instead of the Italian. I enjoyed it.

SIN-NRT
In case my upgrade doesn't clear (I think it will ^), what's currently being offered in Y for the listed Breakfast and Snack? TIA.

This was from last year; I think UA804 is still catered as B/S so I would expect something similar.
The NRT-based crews aren't quite as good, but they are better than their U.S. counterparts, on average.
Flight/Route: UA804/SIN-NRT
Aircraft/Seat: 777-200/22B
Departure Time/Duration: 7:20 a.m./6:30
Meal: Breakfast/Snack
I was hoping for an upgrade but it was the day after the Singapore Air Show ended so it wasn't to be. I was disappointed but the excellent service made this flight really enjoyable. A very sweet flight attendant named Audrey managed to spoil me, offering me a bulkhead seat if I wanted (I declined), calling me by name the whole flight, and bringing me nuts from F.
Breakfast was a choice of a noodle dish or a cheese omelet. After a week in Thailand I thought the Western choice sounded better:
This was an omelet filled with a mild cheese. It came with some potato slices, a chicken sausage and a tiny, cherry tomato. A bit of fresh fruit consisted of watermelon, winter melon, pineapple and a couple of red grapes: quite tasty. A small cup of orange juice was joined by a cup of coffee. The best part was a chocolate croissant that was actually quite delicious.
A few hours later I visited the galley and chatted with the crew. Audrey asked me if I fanced a drink and I chose a Kirin.
She brought it to my seat, along with a cup of warm nuts from F. They were quite tasty.
Soon after, the pre-arrival snack was served.
It was a couple of tea sandwiches (one chicken and tomato and the other something I can neither remember nor determine from the photo). A mini Twix bar, some red grapes and a cup of apple juice were also served.
I've enjoyed some great SIN-based crews in C before, but the service on the flight made Y pretty enjoyable. It actually was much better than C on UA890 to LAX a few hours later.
