Is there any point to ordering special meals...?

I'm a vegan. Now mind you, I'm not what I call a "militant vegan".... I go with the flow, if there's something I can't eat, then I just don't eat it but I don't particularly make a big fuss and I never EVER want people to go out of their way for me.

Flew AC for the first time ever in biz YYZ-TLV-YYZ. Called AC and requested a vegan meal. 787 was nice, best biz seats anywhere, crew were mediocre at best, food... well.

On the way out:
Appetizer: Prosciuotto & Melon (On a flight to Israel! )
Main: Couscous and Vegetable stir fry with a side salad... with feta.
Post: Cheese plate
Desert: Cheesecake

One the way back:
Appetizer: Smoked Salmon
Main: "Vegetable" Ravioli
Post: Cheese Plate
Desert: Pineapple Tart

So my guess is that with the exception of the main plate, the don't do anything else? I mean... what's the point of that?? I can't imagine that if you order a kosher meal they start you off with prosciutto and melon.
