I was #14 to get asked and could have had a black bean ravioli (yuk) and opted for nothing (until the cheese plater came about). Pax #15/16 are just out of luck... except I suppose now one can have my ravioli.

There's also this funny thing that comes about with upgrades and food... I've often got lightly scolded/informed that I should pre-order my meal. Yeah, thanks... if you process my upgrade prior to T-20 hours I understand that but when it's at T-8 hours that's not possible. I'm surprised the FAs don't realize/remember that when handing out "advice." Obviously, this all falls into the category of first-world problems and I'm just glad to get an upgrade but it's surprising AS isn't more on the ball. After all, putting 16 meals on a flight with 16 FC seats is pretty low-hanging fruit.
They should absolutely have the same number of meals as seats. Now, if you didn't pre-order, you might not have a CHOICE but that's not the same as telling you you're SOL. We also try to be in Row 1 (for a number of other reasons) but I'm happy to add this reason to the list.
