US actually does this better with an actual separate express meal. Usually like a salad with protein that can be pulled out quickly and plopped down. BA has this as well on their full meal service flights - or at least in certain markets.

AA's Express Meal service is just a "you can request everything at once." The FA's hate it. And it generally doesn't come that fast since they still have to go through prepping all the entrees, etc. The Express option actually makes an already long service on shorter TATLs even longer for everyone.
