Ticket price: $392 RT (Houston - Paris)
Aircraft type & class: Coach
Business or leisure trip: Leisure
Meal type: Snack
Contents of the meal: Snack (vegetarian) - apple, applesauce, orange
Drink: water
Comments: This is what qualifies as a vegetarian snack??
Just in case you didn't get enough apple eating the apple itself, they
give you applesauce too. The FA handed out ice cream to the rest of the
passengers and wouldn't give us any since we ordered vegetarian meals.
!!! 15 minutes later she came back with some extras for us.
Rating 1-10 (worst-best): 2 for the fruit alone. 5 when
you add in the ice cream

Aircraft type & class: Coach
Business or leisure trip: Leisure
Meal type: Lunch
Contents of the meal: Lunch (vegetarian) - saffron rice, peas, spicy cauliflower,
crackers, cheese, bread, fruit, tomato & fennel salad
Drink: water, ginger ale, white wine
Comments: The rice & veggies were pretty good. I
love fennel salads so I really enjoyed that. Cheese and crackers were
great - usually vegetarians get the vegan meal which I don't like too
much. Dessert could have been more substantial than fruit but at least
you can't ruin fruit. The white wine was atrocious. Did not drink.
Rating 1-10 (worst-best): -1 for the wine, 8 for everything
else

Route: Detroit - Paris, 4 Dec 2003
Ticket price: $392 RT (Houston - Paris)
Aircraft type & class: Coach
Business or leisure trip: Leisure
Meal type: Breakfast
Contents of the meal: Breakfast (vegetarian) - packaged bagel, jam, strawberry
yogurt
Drink: water
Comments: Please save this bagel. It was a packaged,
gummy, jammy disaster. Where is the cream cheese? Where is the heating?
At least there was yogurt... And at least I was landing in Paris in 30
minutes so I could binge on pastry.
Rating 1-10 (worst-best): 2 for the yogurt

Business or leisure trip: Leisure
Meal type: Dinner
Contents of the meal: Dinner (vegetarian) - penne pasta in a creamy sauce
topped with zucchini, packaged roll with margarine, vegan brownie, iceberg
lettuce salad
Drink: water
Comments: the pasta (without the zucchini) was pretty
good! I was surprised. It was nice to not be served an entirely vegan
meal when ordering a vegetarian meal. The packaged roll was sad, as expected.
The brownie was low-fat and therefore low-taste. Iceberg lettuce - why
bother. Really, the main was decent enough to be much better than the
vast majority of airline vegetarian meals.
Rating 1-10 (worst-best): 7
