They are just available on request. Oftentimes the FA have to do some searching to see if they any. The grilled cheese and tomato soup has been the regular. There have been some others that I'm struggling to recall, I think a noodle soup, and a beef dish?

Under Mid-flight snacks, they use the exact term, "hot bites", and show the picture of the grilled cheese and tomato soup.
