I was pre-warned that the meal cooks for 30 min, and they won't serve at 1.5 hours before landing. At 2 hours before landing, I asked for the meal and for all the cold items immediately (specifically asking for the appetizer and dessert). I was given a cheese and fruit plate with a single multi-grain bun... not what I was expecting. I ate a bit and asked where the rest was. That's when I was told that there weren't enough meals loaded and blamed the weekend catering crew. Interesting considering it was a Monday night, J was full days before and the equipment never changed. And every J pax without a special meal is given the exact same cold portions. I still got the main meal I ordered but I'm not a cheese and fruit person so there wasn't much more to eat.
