No, it is not unrealistic. I have received good meals on flights more than once. So, yes, it is possible, it is doable and it is not unreasonable to expect either.

I never checked that in detail, though I think, an airline goes into a signed agreement with IATA to obtain an IATA "code" and part of that agreement will be the adoption of the IATA requirements, of which part is laid out in the referred document.

Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian meal Cathay shorthaul
Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian (LVML) meal on this Cathay flight from HKG - SGN (Hong Kong to Saigon)
Scrambled eggs with ratatouille and potato wedges.
Sides were apricot yofhurt pot and fresh fruit salad.
The main didn’t have much flavour and required lots of salt and pepper. The rest were ok.
A Club Europe breakfast meal on BA short haul would beat this if I am honest.

Low-Fat meal in Business class
I flew SGN - HKG. I always order a Low Fat meal when I want to eat something healthy on the plane.
Meal was delicious. Chicken breast and veggies starter with lemon dressing.
Main was steam cod, tomato sauce, mash potato and veggies.
No SPML dessert loaded.

Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

Sorry @gpia I didn't have a photo of my neighbour's CHML child meal. The main was farfalle bolognese. The kid also got a tetra pack of juice and macadamia nuts cookie with a starter (but I didn't know what the starter was). The kid barely touched the meal.

How can such a meal have bad items: Yeah, unripe strawberries

I recently flew Cathay Dragon economy class from PVG to HKG. I visited the newly opened Cathay Pacific Lounge at PVG, so I already ate and didn’t intend to eat. Anyway, I ordered the Moslem Special Meal on my flight. I was totally inedible. I’m not a picky eater at all, and I think it was bad.

CX716 SIN-HKG 2023 June - MOML MOSLEM Muslim meal
MOML MOSLEM Muslim meal
CX716 SIN-HKG (6pm departure)
2023 June
I don't like sweet potato and the beef was dry and tough. So the meal was quite disappointing. It's also quite cheap to provide mango pudding, after learning how inexpensive it is from supermarket. Fortunately I had some food from SIN lounge already.
