UA to Debut "Bistro on Board" Today

Customers who want to enjoy fresh food in flight now have new options available for purchase, as the airline today debuted its Choice Menu ”Bistro on Board.”� The options are available to United Economy customers on most flights scheduled for more than three-and-a-half hours within North America and to and from Central America.
Breakfast Bistro on Board selections include a ham and Swiss baguette; a sweet cheese pastry; and a morning energy selection of a hard-cooked egg, cheese, grapes, a wheat roll and almond butter. The lunch and dinner menu now includes a caprese baguette; a bacon, lettuce and tomato wrap; and a roast beef and cheddar baguette, as well as an Asian-style noodle salad and artisan cheese selection.
In addition, a bistro scramble with eggs, potatoes, ham, bell peppers and cheddar cheese, and a lunch and dinner chicken stir fry are available on Hawaii flights to and from ORD, EWR, IAH and IAD.

That's one thing that drives me nuts. Say you want to fly from Dublin to Newark. Flight lasts 7 and a half hours. But it's international/overseas, so you get a meal, even in economy (according to the reservations system). How nice. On the other hand, EWR-HNL? 10:42. But it's domestic, so you have to buy your own meal separately. Otherwise, you can hold it!

Otherwise, the food options seem to be minor changes that they occasionally do, with a new name. The Asian-style noodle salad is actually pretty good, and at $5 is an admittedly decent price.
