Brilliant! I’ve been so forlorn since the “liquids” rule. Of course, it isn’t much use for leftover red wine, which I always have returning from Europe.
I have a non-Muslim friend who orders the halal meal. Usually tasty and either Middle Eastern or South Asia influenced. But then he orders a beer or wine… I’ve been thinking of ordering the vegetarian one, but is it an actual meal, or just a fruit plate? (I love fruit, but not pre-cut and out of season green fruit).
Usually the vegetarian meal ends up being pasta. Like cheese tortellini.
I’ve always gotten a meal, and as salsalisa wrote, it’s usually pasta or rice and veggies (I do more long haul travel to Asia, so rice is big).
Interesting discussion on Cathay Pacific here:
You can take them on carrier on but you are not allowed to drink them
I have on many occasions but know they can restrict me. Only happened once when coming back from Kentucky after doing barrel picks and had a Willett in my glass. The attendant gave me a warning but let me finish my pour. It was Southwest and they are pretty friendly as a rule

Oops !I found the more recent thread.
I always bring my own food on the plane. I’ve hated everything I’ve had on a plane, save for being bumped to first class.
@moderators might you consolidate the two threads about airplane food?
Why I never roder fruit. hard arse honeydew/cantaloupe and picked-to-soon watermelon. gracias no!
As of this year, Alaska Airlines is investing more (money? time? name-brand celebrity?) in its transcontinental First Class meals.
Since I don’t have first-person experience with those bites, here are three somewhat related pictures.
Regional jet first class meal-- cheese plate with fruit. Rare is the moment I would turn down brie, lest it be in a shake…
Hawaiian Airlines (now part of the Alaska Airlines family) loco moco, economy class. I still haven’t had loco moco in Hawaii, so times like these will have to suffice.
I ordered this one in advance-- a cheeseburger, but that’s mainly because I couldn’t deal with the garlic in the other two choices.
Puerto Vallarta to Los Angeles.
