Actually, I did remember that period of time after the statement by that president. I lived in the suburb of Philadelphia. Suddenly, broccoli was a hot commodity. The gourmet lunch place I went to, suddenly adding broccoli in their salad served. Since then, I am getting used to eating broccoli.
Back to that particular UA flight, indeed the portion of broccoli was so much. And I noticed I was the only one who ate all the veggies among the 4 who seated in my row.
Choice of a fruit & yogurt plate; or 3- cheese omelet with a roasted red pepper sauce, fresh fruit (pineapple, kiwi, strawberry & grapes), bacon (3 strips) and sausage (1 link) and potatoes. Both were served with a choice of bagel, sweet cheese danish or croissant.
