You should be thankful if the flight leaves on time and the crew's in a good mood..

Much past that it'll be a Merry Christmas.
You called it. Flight delay due to crew availability

So they didn't "run out of food" 10 hours into a 16 hour flight.

Out of LAX, there's a good chance you'll get a turkey dinner.

Turkey in a wrap

The mere concept of such a thing runs so completely opposite to AA’s corporate DNA.

Pity you're not on Lufthansa. They had a nice Christmas Goose and Christmas cookies on my MUC-SFO this week. PHOTO

If you think bags of processed potato chips is "food" then sure. And they wouldn't allow me to eat the pre-landing meal early because "they weren't prepared to serve that yet". Maybe the better term is that they ran out of real food and was hoarding the rest? Not sure where you are trying to go with your reply. Essentially, even if they had food, they weren't giving it to the business class passengers.

Which is different than running out. But far less dramatic sounding.

How is it different? Those were the FA's words. They ran out of food. They had no food. There was physically no more food to give out to business class passengers for the next 4+ hours because there was none left. Pre-landing meals were not allowed to be given out. Now sure how "dramatic" that seems to you. In all my years of international flying, that's never happened before. Heck, I've even had turkey sandwiches or ramen available as snacks in economy.
