Stogel
Why did you even bother opening it....

Also, it was probably tuna with mozzarella cheese. Its very normal with Stogals to have a hard time identifying the food. You'll know for next time to look better.

I didnt open it. I slept the whole flight. But for the few minutes I was up I went to the back and asked to see it. It was definitely chicken

Usually all SSR mags fall off when anything chages

I ended up having to SDC, lost my upgrade (no seats on the new flight in BF) and my meal request, forgot to call in after making the SDC so when I called in the morning they said it was too late for a meal request.
 
Fortunately my SDC gave me a long layover in EWR so I had some good food before the flight, plus leftovers.

Anyone know who UA uses out of GRU?

Was going to find out and report back, but then my GPU cleared and lost my meal request, and I went in online to reconfirm it but I wasn't able to call until 22 hours before the flight. Evidently that was too late.

I'm kind of amazed that I've ever gotten my meal request before.
