That said, there are a number of issues with GateGourmet lately for all carriers worldwide due to understaffing and supply chain, and there is also the (potential?) labor action.
Granted it was an INT flight (YVR-DUB), they offered exactly this on the weekend: everyone can have cheese, plus the choice of fruit or cake.
