Not hard for them to manage when theres only so many people in each cabin now a days
I know there's no current F flights as of right now, but notice how they didn't bother saying "business and first class", and just the former

It has been around for a few months now, and saw on last few flights.
At this time, some items are exclusive to pre-selecting. One example is on long-haul, there might be 2 choices of burgers, beef and turkey, available for pre-selecting, but only one available on board for pax who didn't pre-select.
On some inbound flights meals have been loaded at exact numbers +/- small margin, so it to be used accordingly.

May I introduce you to AA's famous lobster grilled cheese and sandwich - I missed CX burger when I had it. Ingredient / dish name and execution often have differentials in between, sometimes inverse correlation, in airline catering when budget is tight.

I guess it was related to the routes.
Anyway, no hurt to do online pre-select meal.

I don't fly CX often and didn't realize this was a problem? I booked a flight in October and out of habit just pre-selected my meals. And yes it's a full selection (muslim, vegetarian, fruit, diabetic, etc.). To be honest I was impressed by the number of selections available.

That's not the same thing. "Special" meals have always been available from quite a long list. What this thread is about is being able to pre-select from a list of "normal" meals which may (or may not) have more choices available than the choice you would have in-flight.
