I got the last one (only two were catered). The ramekin of nuts came 30 minutes after the meal (this happened the last time I took an express food flight so it obviously is that way it should be albeit it odd). There was no snack basket near the end of the flight.
Thanks for reporting back.

I believe regional FAs are supposed to follow the regular mainline AA service standards (in terms of taking orders, meal presentation, etc.). I've also had the cold nuts served in a rush just before landing. I'm happy to be corrected if someone can confirm that there is a different service standard for these regional flights, but I think a lot of these FAs just don't know the policies.
