Will that change at the 30 day mark?
AY's vegetarian meals are alright in J, they have a J vegetarian meal. However, I would say it is not necessarily up to the standards of the meat options. Normally, the appetizer is something like vegetarian sushi or a salad with pomegranate seeds and tofu slices. The main is usually falafel balls or something made from soy. It's usually pretty good. As a dessert, they've loaded a fruit platter for you but I've always gotten ice cream or something else from the actual menu just by asking.
The second meal usually (especially from outports) is a vegetable pasta.
