Aircraft type & class: Boeing 777, Business Class
Meal type: Dinner - Not pictured: An aperitif of Piper-Heidsieck Champagne, accompanied by three small bowls of roasted nuts (I simply can't get enough of these!). Rating: 10. Tasty bubbly, replenished frequently by "experienced" flight attendants who must have been pursuing their duties since the dawn of commercial aviation. Nuts slightly salted, served warm. Great!
"To Begin": Spiced shrimp & Parma ham, served with cocktail sauce and fresh lemon. Rating: 6. Solid, yet standard fare. The "classic caesar" dressing for the wintery salad had unfortunately gone off. I elected to stay with the bubbly...
"Main Course": Coriander-crusted halibut with lemon beurre blanc, served with chorizo rice, asparagus and carrot batonnets. Rating: 7. The halibut tasted just okay, but the chorizo rice was great. I finished the plate and enjoyed another glass of bubbly.
"Dessert": The menu listed an "International Cheese Selection", featuring Camembert (sic) and Black Diamond Cheddar cheese, plus a couple of water crackers and red grapes. Rating: 5. When I go camping the selection is more varied...
Not pictured: A glass of Grand Marnier on ice to finish off the meal ... as the aurora borealis put on a magical display near the Greenland coastline. Rating: 10.

Meal type: dinner, breakfast - The dinner was okay ----- note the lack of enthusiasm. During the night I was offered a hot sandwich: cheese, turkey and ham. I felt sorry for the turkey and pig. Breakfast offered scrambled eggs Hollandaise which I chose .... I had no idea that things were so bad in Holland. The meal was literally inedible. However, UA got me to SFO safely.
Drink: I did not dare.
Comments: The next time I must fly to the Orient I think I'll choose an Asian carrier.

Comments: While the appearance of this meal is god-awful (the gray pasta is a mushroom-flavored pasta), it was quite tasty. The Sun-dried tomatoes were
tangy, the chicken wellington was tasty, and the peach-flavored cheesecake was absolutely delicious.
Rating 1-10 (worst-best): "I rate this meal a 9, subtracting 1 point for the appearance."

Aircraft type and class: 747-400, "C" or business
Meal type: Very late dinner - the picture shows a starter of prawns and prociutto with a small salad and a piece of herbed bread. I skipped the main. But... on my return flight one week later I had a perfect beef filet cooked rare which almost nobody ever does on any carrier. No picture of that one though.
Drink Jack Daniels and soda. a glass of chardonnay and water galore.
Comments: "Everything was fresh, small and appropriate for a very long haul, all night flight where it does seem best to keep it simple. Also note that the knives are still plastic but silver coloured to make a better match. As usual on this run, it was a fairly geriatric crew but they really are good about making sure everyone stays hydrated. I really like united sometimes because they just keep it all so simple. Whether that is the intention or not is another story."
