"Beechdean" Sticky Toffee Fudge ice cream (3rd image)
Drinks: Orange Juice, Apple Juice (not shown)
Comments: The cheese biscuits were awesome- they should serve these in the U.S. instead of those useless pretzels.
Lunch was an excellent meal overall. The chicken was done perfectly- United's chicken has been consistently top quality. The mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious but not heavy. Bread rolls, salad, and crackers were all good as well. The cheese spread didn't look so good at first, but it tasted wonderful.
Just when I thought the meal was over, the FAs came around with generously sized cups of ice cream. They even offered seconds, but I decided not to get any. As far as quality goes, the ice cream was some of the best that I have tasted.

Comments: This was the best meal I had in a long time. Everything was delicious. The steak was a little rare, which I don't like rare meat, but it was delicious. I don't eat vegetables, but I tried some of them and gave the rest to my father. The baked/mashed potato was kind of cheap because it was like mashed potatoes filled into a shell of a potato and then cheese sauce on it. It was pretty good actually, but I thought it was kind of cheap. The cake was delicious it made the meal even better.

Drink: Orange Juice, Spring Water (at the time of boarding – Photo 1), Apple Craanberry Juice, Sparkling Water (together with meals – Photo 2), Coffee (middle of the flight – Photo 3)
Comments: Unexpected upgrade was pleasant. No complain about such a relatively short flight, but might be possible to serve something different than this (including presentation – Photo 2). Cheeses were descent and strawberry was exceptionally fresh and sweet. The flight attendants were truly professional and continuously served beverages for the entire flight. Because of the stormy weather hit the Denver area, we could not get off the airplane for more than 1.5 h. The flight attendants came with a glass of water until the airport resumed its operation.

Comments: No complain about such a relatively short flight, but could be something different than this. Actually, the flight attendants were very good and always tried to do something more on this flight. One thing I have noticed on this flight was there was a Japanese lady who could not speak English at all on board. Although none of the flight attendant could speak Japanese, they eventually communicated each other. Human being is such a wonderful creature!

Comments: This is the first time I have had a hot meal on UA in years. I guess it depends on what time you depart. The steak looked small, but it was surprisingly tender and juicy [NOT dried out], with some sort of warm dipping sauce provided. Potato was HOT! I passed on the vegetables as I am sick of cooked zucchini, whether it be on an airplane or a restaurant. UA's SFO food, meal, catering does a good job.

Salmon Ceasar salad. HUGE chunk of chilled salon over lettuce with cherry tomatoes and assorted olives. Parts of the salmon tasted a bit fishy but the vinagarette dressing took care of that. Roll was warm and soft. Dessert was a warm [and gooey] chocolate chip cookie with cold milk.
Drink:: Bloody Marys.
Comments: This type of lunch has been UA's standard fare on FC flights for awhile, and usually they aren't that bad - especially for the sub two-hour flights from the west coast to DEN. This meal was no exception. Quite acceptable...

Comments: Adorable. Even the normally small things, the raisins and Milky Way were smaller than normal small packets: I found them the perfect size because there was so much variety. I'd requested vegan, and the strange cheese-like thing was dairy, but it sure beat the "vegan" snack I got on the other direction which was a turkey and cheese sandwich. This snack pack really won me over because there were so many little options - I didn't need to eat everything, I could just pick the mini snacks that appealed. My only criticism is that the two little breadsticks didn't seem like enough to contain all the odd cheese thing - were we supposed to dip our oreos in it?

Comments: Kudos to United for giving real vegetables out for breakfast- most airlines stick with a starches and fruit. The vegetables were soggy, waxy, and greasy, and the potatoes were not nearly fried enough. This was a special order vegan meal, and it was delivered accurately, before everybody else, and contained no non-vegan ingredients. The fruit salad saved this meal- usually airline melon is hard and unripe, but this was sweet, soft and delicious. Donut was of normal mediocre quality for a packaged donut, but this was a quite filling breakfast even without it.
