It's hard to say. Until recently they always had a real lacto-ovo meal. Usually it was a pasta dish with some type of cheese and veggies, with a salad and fruit on the side. Not the most inventive but it worked. I'll also say that what they are serving for vegan food is just not acceptable. I'd generally be just fine eating vegan when ordering vegetarian, but when they bring stale bread with a few slices of onion, a sad looking slice of green pepper and the like, it just does not work.
