Very good, and with a nice finish of cheeses and chocolate treats. Virgin's menu even breaks down the entrees' caloric and fat content. American, like British, offered two choices. The steak was a small puck of brutally overcooked beef. The accompanying lettuce salad was meager and wilted.
Prisoners eat better.
The oral menu changed slightly on the return flight. I chose neither but saw both. Each arrived as ordered, and all were decent. No discussion of airline food service can be complete without a discussion of airline toilets. Dehydration on airlines is a concern for many passengers.
