No, you’re not having a case of déjà vu — this is another DietDetective.com Airline Survey, completely revised. In fact, the airlines are constantly changing and redefining what they serve, and we’re on the case trying to distinguish the Calorie Bargains from the Calorie Rip-offs. Since last year’s survey, Delta increased its score, but United Airlines, American Airlines, JetBlue and US Airways all dropped slightly in the ratings.

Why: Butternut squash soup. Isn’t that a good enough reason? It’s thick, satisfying and simple to make. All you have to do is seed and cube the squash, add onion, garlic and water or fat-free chicken broth, cook until the squash is soft, and purée in the blender. Pretty tasty. Unlike zucchini, which is a summer squash, winter squash (e.g., butternut squash) is almost always served cooked and well-seasoned with spices such as cinnamon, cumin or curry powder. Some say that squash is a tastier, sweeter, nuttier pumpkin. Butternut squash is bell-shaped, typically about 12 inches long, and weighs 2 to 4 pounds. It’s often described as meaty, and when baked it becomes moist and develops a sweet, rich flavor. An added perk is that it has a thin skin, which means it’s easy to peel with a vegetable peeler.
