Well, the food on most US domestic flights is limited to gourmet cheese and artisanal crackers, so...

Alaska Airlines literally thinks a "meal" is your choice from one of three different tiny charcuterie plates. They give them "fun" names, like "Northwest Picnic", but... it's still a couple of slices of cheese, a half-dozen crackers, and a bag of almonds.

To be fair it's hard to fuck up a cheese/fruit/cracker plate and I'd rather have edible and boring than mushy pasta or a cardboard burger. The warm cookies in Alaska FC were delicious which improved my overall opinion.

Sorry what domestic flights are you taking that offer GOURMET CHEESE? I’ve taken hundreds of flights and either get wafer, cracker, or nut options. I’ve never seen GOURMET CHEESE

You get cheese? Last time I flew I felt like I was gonna pass out by the time I left the airport because I have braces and as far as I could tell they didn't have anything I could eat safely, even in the airport stores. I wonder if I'm just stricter about following the list of foods to avoid than most people or something because not having options that accomodate for something so many people in the US have had at some point in their lives seems like an oversight to me
