Is it possible to select special meal for just one of the flights? If not, is it appropriate to reject the special meal and ask for a standard meal instead? Most likely, I might just reject one of the meals anyway and have a mid-flight snack instead.
Has anyone had recent experience with the Hindu meal on LH out of the US?
I don't think you can select the special meal for only one segment of the whole flight. I'm quite sure that the FAs will oblige to your request of having a standard meal in place of your special one, though it may not come to be especially charitable given it was loaded as your request.
FWIW, I've had the Hindu non-vegetarian meal out of HKG, and it was really bad, but then again, food from HKG doesn't always have the best reputation.
