The Case of the Missing Eggs

I am just finishing the last of 4 HNL detours on my way back home, after a 67K bis 10 day mileage run.

Maybe I am getting a little cranky by now , but since I havent stopped in a time zone long enough, jet lag hasnt been a problem.

Anywhoo, seated in 1H , must've dozed off, as I don't remember taking off at all to find the Purser standing there telling me she had just given away the last egg meal. O well ya snooze ya lose,eggs would have been my preference as the fruit plate is bleh with too many grapes.. I dislike grapes intensely.But I just nodded and said OK.

Sitting in 1H gives me poll position for the galley action, and it was out of genuine interest I watched the galley attendant prepare the meals, (not Sure why they don't wear gloves when they handle food , but that is I guess is a whole other story.

Any way, to cut it short.. A male FA comes up from coach and sails off with a foil covered plate.. Hmm I think, interesting, yup a quick wander down to stretch my legs, found him scarfing down an egg meal

5 mins later, the Purser opens a foil tray, and yup egg meal, right in front of me, I cant resist, so I say " those eggs look good", she turns to shield it from me... seriously and says "it's a crew meal, we have a long day today doing a turn around"
Wish I'd thought to comeback saying I have as well

question : just for clarity, could that have been a crew meal, I didn't see any other crew eating those eggs.

I am not so much annoyed about missing the eggs, but that she compounded it with a possible crew meal falsehood

Any thoughts on whether an mail somewhere is a good idea?
