The following website seems to allow you to preview the menu options ahead of time: http://cloud.o.delta.com/fltInfo
The Delta App lets you pre-select meals 7 days prior to departure. You may or may not receive an email around the same time (it's inconsistent whether you even receive an email). On the "MY TRIPS" tab, any eligible trip in the list will have a SELECT YOUR ENTREE button; this also appears if you tap on a trip and are viewing the individual trip details. The app is able to handle selections for multiple passengers traveling on the same record (i.e. you will be able to make selections on behalf of traveling companions)
Sample screenshot:
PRE-COVID: If you don't get the email, or only one of multiple passengers receives the email*, you can ask a phone or Twitter/FB agent for the choices, and they can make your selection up until T-24h (not all agents are sharp about this, so you may need to explain that you want to pre-order a regular meal, *not* one of the special vegetarian/Kosher meals etc. HUCA as needed) Nowadays it is unclear if agents can even still do this (or if just the average phone/chat agent does not know how to do so anymore)
*If this happens, double check that you have an email address (for each passenger) in the reservation. (But this can happen at random anyway even if you do have an email address listed.)

Just to add a data point. Have a flight in a few days LAS-JFK on a neo and no preselection for a meal is available. The agent did list me all the special meals available though so clearly its not something they are trained on. I had to find this thread to even remember this as something that was/is a thing.

You can usually obtain the Delta confirmation # from Air France for your flight, add it into the Delta App, and then select your meal that way. This is what I have done in the past.

Sorry the meals choices Italian meatballs or chicken Parmesan and salmon, Ora vegetarian dish. Has anyone recently flown this LAX -CDG Delta one flight and can comment about either the chicken or the mealballs?
