She said that if I was willing to wait till all of economy was served, she would check if any 1Ks didn't take their free food item, she would use that to comp it out but I would have to wait a while.
That sounds accurate, and also quite proactive of the FA to explain it so thoroughly and offer ways to make it happen (either paid or potentially comped).
