I can understand running out of normal entrees by the time you get to the last row, but to be out at row 3 (and we were the first served in 3)?? It must mean they loaded at least half their entrees as vegetarian (and bad vegetarian to boot), where <10% of travelers are vegetarian.

I didn't complain because I was just happy to be up in F on an upgrade, asked her to bring me some milk (for the protein), ate my salad and munched on a protein bar I always carry as a spare, but it still seemed pretty lame to be on a flight this long, in row 3, in F, and only be offered noodles covered with a sliver of cheese as an entree. Maybe I should start bringing on my own food, even in F, if I'm seated anywhere besides row 1 these days.
