(and on night flights, they openly under-cater because they know not everyone will eat).

if getting two meals you can eat is the priority, then I still think that SPML is much preferable/safer. To be honest, as I was mentioning, I don't find the mains on the main menu very exciting at the moment so again, not sure the loss with SPML would be as big as before.
Thanks, you raise some good points, I might well give a special meal another go on the trip ex LHR as I won’t be eating until later that evening so the two meals on board would be handy.
