I got an email today for Sunday's JFK-ATL flight. It called it a Delta One flight which it obviously isn't but it was nice to get the choices.

​​​​​​Same for me, for DTW-SFO on Sunday :D and another report over in the meal thread:

got a "Select Your Delta One Meal Before Your SEA Flight" last night ... except I was booked on DL1464, a 753 operating MSP-SEA on Fri night

I would love D1 even if it was just the hard product, as mine is currently a 739...

Got my meal selection email Tuesday (2/5) for my F 752 SNA>DTW flight today (2/8), so it’s definitely in place now.

Umm ... what was it?

Lame choices. Antipasto or Chicken “Schwarma” (chicken with rice).

Edible, but hardly worth the effort to choose.

I changed D1 SEA>JFK from Sat 9-Feb to Sun 10-Feb due to the SEA weather waiver and my desire not to get stuck there. I know my pre-ordered meal choice didn't make it to the new flight, although it's same flight/plane/cabin (D1), just one day forward. I thought maybe I'd get the pre-order form today (2 days prior) since I booked the change after the 3 day prior, but I didn't. Can I call to pre-order or am I SOL?

You could always request a special meal. You only need 24 hours for that request.

I don't understand why Delta needs 24 hours for special meals, which theoretically take more planning, but up to three days for pre-selection of standard meals.

Their app still lists a 6 hour cutoff for all meals except 3 of them.

Having said that, the text is an error and it should be 24. I have called less than 24 but more than 6 and all they could do was file an IT ticket [which still hasn't been fixed yet, btw].

I'd like to see them add a vegetarian option as a third option for standard domestic F meals, so you could see what it is, rather than having to use the special meal feature for this. I say this because the standard vegetarian meal covers a lot of dietary needs for a lot of people .

On many flights with Delta One business-class, the standard vegetarian meal seems to be mostly pasta.

As I clearly stated, I'm writing about domestic F, and did I inquire about what vegetarian meals usually are (I know what they usually are on D1 flights). Just try to avoid a pesky non sequitur like that, OK?

Didn't get any notification of pre ordering on d1 LHR-ATL and the first ATL-SAN and same return sectors. Flights booked on delta app Virgin codeshare flights but all choices available

Or add a cheese plate like AA does....not strictly vegetarian, but a nice third option.

Just chose scrambled eggs over French toast for my first class flight from JFK-MEX on 2/16.

I cleared at the gate twice yesterday, which means I was screwed for meal choice. I don't eat eggs, so was stuck picking around an omelet and scrambled eggs.
