We just finished lunch service, so perhaps the next meal will be better.

I have seen in both JAL and ANA tha the flight attendants are pretty strict on not serving anything that does not live up to the requirements of the special meal you ordered. I once sat next to a lady in Y that had ordered a vegan meal, and when they came with the HD ice cream, she asked if she could have one, and it was a flat out "No it is not vegan, the dessert is already on your tray"
