LX J from Prague to Zurich got served a cold cut platter WITH pickles plus a roll and crackers
LX J Zurich to Tel Aviv Schalom Caterers veal with a bottle of wine and other side dishes.

Both were delicious with the Prague flight I was quite surprised to get a full meal.

Looks like the new meals are only on EWR for now, just "enhancements" on the other routes

Part of the Kosher expansion includes the airport experience where United is testing the addition of a hot Kosher à la carte meal option in the Newark Polaris Lounge to complement the already featured Kosher wines. Additionally, at both the Polaris lounge and United Clubs in Newark and LaGuardia Airports the offerings will include Kosher packaged snacks upon request.
