Tell them that EXPs receive a complimentary food-for-purchase item. If they refuse, one option is to pay for it and then request a refund from AA.

It is -- no doubt about it. Per the
AA website:
AAdvantage Executive Platinum® and ConciergeKey® members also get a complimentary alcoholic drink and food menu item during their flight.

If I was in that situation I would just mention to the FA that is a benefit of MCE. If the FA disagreed I would pay and request a refund after I landed.
Incorrect -- MCE only gets an alcoholic beverage. The food is for EXP/CK (whether in MCE or not).
