Bring your own food? Delta A/L

Hi group.
Have not been flying in a few years and would like to know if I, now
days, should bring my own sandwich and drink? can you? A friend told me
that I may get a bag of peanuts.
I'm going by Delta A/L from Miami- Salt Lake City- Sacramento and
return same route. Do I get something to eat onboard or how is it now
days? I don't see any "M" for meals, on my itinerary.
I may be able to get something in Salt Lake City, the stay is about one
hour, between flights, there.
Any info. and help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Non-alcoholic beverages are freee for the asking. But your food
will be a small bag of something and a /snack/ box which is 1/2 of
a stale sandwich. We bought a sub-sandwhich at a Quiznos stand
in the terminal and took it on board. The flight attendant was envious.
Check out the in-flight services for your flight # at www.delta.com.

Future to the back:

I dunno if it's now done on some U.S. airplanes nowadays; but I vaguely
recall that softdrinks, coffee & sandwiches were sold from carts on
U.S. passenger trains.

Perhaps it's still customary on the railroads.

There were dining-cars; tho I vaguely recall food-peddling in the
coaches too.

As for brown-bagging food onto planes:

Well, nothing tastes as good as...food when hungry.

I'd say anything/everything, especially stuff that smells-up the plane
so that semi-starving passengers are so envious they'll not again
forget stopping at the Whopper the next time.

I suppose it's a very rude/crude thing--eating while others are
panging--and thus why can't the airlines also now have available in
galley warmer/freezer semi-stale sandwiches for sale too.

50 cents per would not be unreasonable/excessive; but they'll probably
mark 'em up to $2--$3 a la Disneyworld exploitation of the peanut
butter 'n jelly, though I have not been back to Orlando in at least 20
years because to h with waiting in lines and especially if the kids are
married and have their own kids to get fleeced at Orlando after parking
at Goofy, Pluto, or Sleepy and wait for a tram.

Go to Delta's web site and enter your flight number and click on
details. It will tell you if you get a "snack" or "no meal". A
"snack" is not a meal. You will not get a meal in coach on most any
domestic flight any more.

Most airports have plenty of places that will be glad to sell you food.

Out of consideration for those who have peanut alergies, bringing
peanuts may not be wise, but most airlines have no problem with their
passengers bringing something to eat on board with them. Just contact
your airline for its policy or check your airline's web site.

If I were you, since this is a relatively short flight, just eat
something substantial before you board. There are plenty of restaurants
at the airports in Miami and Salt Lake City.

Some airlines do not allow outside food to be
consumed on board their flights. The Australian airline
Jetstar is like that.

Delta has no meal service in economy domestically. On segments over 3 1/2
hours, they sell sandwiches - if your MIA-SLC segment is nonstop that's what
you can expect.

That's interesting. Since the Airlines stopped food service, most announce
to bring your own. Does Jetstar still serve food? I could understand the
rule if they still served food on flights, or maybe *sold* food on flights.
