Kudos to United for giving real vegetables out for breakfast- most airlines stick with a starches and fruit. The vegetables were soggy, waxy, and greasy, and the potatoes were not nearly fried enough. This was a special order vegan meal, and it was delivered accurately, before everybody else, and contained no non-vegan ingredients. The fruit salad saved this meal- usually airline melon is hard and unripe, but this was sweet, soft and delicious. Donut was of normal mediocre quality for a packaged donut, but this was a quite filling breakfast even without it.
