Update: what actually happened is this: The 9am flight finally boarded at 6pm. As soon as the door was closed, the flight attendant told the first class cabin that the catering was still breakfast, that it was no longer edible, and that hence there would be no meal service at all. We were offered free snack boxes, but of course they didn't have all of the options stocked. So it wasn't the best experience after a 9 hour delay. If they had just made an announcement, I could have at least bought something before boarding, So if a 9 hour delay didn't make me grumpy, well this did. Oh well.
