What happens if I say at the beginning of the flight that I think I might want some dinner later on, but only if I wake up and then feel like it. I usually say please not to save anything specially for me, and I'll be happy to pick something from whatever is left then if I do want something.
The context is that this is usually on midnight departures from the Far East, on which I know that I'm likely to wake up at something like 3 am London time, feeling like I fancy some lunch.
I don't fly First as often as many here, but I've never yet not had my first choices whether eating at the beginning of the flight or in the middle. Does my request put a spanner in the works? Would it be better if I'm more specific about what I think I'll want later?
