Sort of "noob" question:
I have shopped at Pomegranate in Brooklyn...what exactly are the POM meals? Is there something specific, or just something you select from their prepared food/deli counter?
And, for travel to SFO, do you keep the POM on ice all the way from Brooklyn? Was it frozen then thawed in-flight?
Just thinking about food safety issues.
Thanks.

Pom meals are pre-ordered travel meals. I haven't ordered them myself, but I believe they are made fresh then frozen. They are double wrapped to be either microwave safe or oven safe.

You have to order in advance, email them for the menu to order from.
There's a post on DDMS that explains it better.

I had them frozen, flew them to west coast and then put into a freezer overnight at the hotel. Took them with me all day and heated it up that night.

Your choice of ice box or cardboard.

I got it in a regular cardboard box and transferred to my cooler bag.

In general I've heard they're a lot more willing to do things from J than Y/E+ pax.

After I got the official ok everything was smooth, but she did mention it should be double wrapped, so I'm just advising to mention it when asking
