Yes, *exactly* that. Its the same product. Generally its a square slice of something resembling pizza, (half?) a wrap with chicken, or some focaccia-like sandwich.
Sandwiches are currently served on almost all flights in the morning (even short ones), but after breakfast only the longer flights offer something more substantial. Not proper, but more substantial than a sandwich.
The past year I have started flying other carriers more and the difference is huge. AZ for example is much
worse than KLM, with just some TUC cookies on a 2+ hr flight FCO<>AMS. But most of the star alliance carriers offer something much more decent (like a hot tray) for longer intra-european flights - like hot pasta dish with a salad, bread roll and small desert.
