My guess is the same as ATH to EWR that I posted above from Kosher Arabia.

Just to compare with my experience - was the whole tray wrapped in cellophane with a seal?
Was the French toast served warm? Did it come as pictured or in a foil bag?

The hot part being the most surprising due to the fact that I'm pretty sure in the E-175 doesn't have an oven

Airline: UA
Class: J
EWR
Caterer: Freshko

Flight date: May 2022
Meal in pics: Breakfast
Stogel-Hermolis Scale Score (1-10):11

One of the best KSML's I've had, definitely better than Hermolis.

In F ATH EWR

Cauliflower salad with a small bowl of tahina for it delicious
Pita with moutabel which seems similar to babganoush
Chicken Musakhan very tasty chicken but a bit on the dry side with potatoes
Dessert date and cardamom pudding very sweet sitting in date honey

All of it is very ethnic tasting. Someone who doesn't enjoy new tastes may not like it as much. It was definitely frozen. The Cauliflower had a couple of frozen spots.
