Can I ask what aircraft type this flight was? I think someone told me a while back that oven space is an issue on some planes. So if there was a hot option and a cold option, and they only had oven space for eight hot meals, I can see why they might "run out" of one choice only through preorders.

I feel like it was the MD-90 where I've seen this before, but I wouldn't swear to it.
