Thougth about gluten free meal but it seems to contain wheat which is a big no-no for me.
Huh? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a "gluten free meal that contains wheat" be like a "vegetarian meal with beef and chicken?"
I have enjoyed non-veg hindu meal over the years but now I'm bored with it (also there's gluten and wheat there at least sometimes) and want to try something else. Salads are okay with me as long as there would be some protein there.
It sounds to me like you're using the "special meal" option as an attempt to get something more to your liking than is offered in the standard meals. The special meals are designed to address people that have specific dietary needs due to medical or religious/moral requirements, not someone trying to follow the latest fad diet. Although anyone is free to order any of the special meals, consider that if one is not to your liking, the purpose of that meal being provided at extra cost to the airline is so that someone that has a specific need doesn't otherwise go with no food, not to provide a wider selection to all passengers.
