Yes, I had the same experience. My only comment was "they forgot", but as long as their administration is paperwork and post-it based, I understand.

I did the same with 3 drinks and I got all. Did not try the extra food itself, because I was still full from the main meal. It would be nice, if one could ask for extra garlic bread.

With the express breakfast, you can sleep longer and still being served. If you wake up early, they won't force you to wait, so to say.
Last time, I woke up just over 45 mins out and still got served my full breakfast with the 3 drinks I did request. They initially did forget the pepper/salt though.

Yep, and the table is to small to host a bigger tray, let alone, be able to have all items put on the table direct. It'll fall down.

Me to, though I seriously do hope, they automate the whole and the cabin staff gets the time to do what the whole intention of this food concept change was: More interaction with the passengers.
Every decent restaurant does nowadays have mobile ordering devices and everything "on the computer", in-stead of a manual post-it administration .....
