Menu in J- light bites
First timer on EK - flying J soon. Looking at the menu from the US to Dubai there is a lunch, "Light bites" and breakfast.
1.Are "light bites" served at a certain time or is this something you can order at anytime during mid flight?
2. How does the light bites menu differ from options available at the inflight bar?

Light bites, as the name suggests, are a selection of hot or cold snacks which can be ordered at any time during the flight between the main meal services which take place at the beginning and end of the flight.
The food available in the lounge is more finger food type such as a sandwich, pastry, fruit skewer etc.

I have noticed the hot snack menu at the bar, do you have to specifically ask for the items to be heated for you? Silly me last time presumed, that they had been sitting out on offer and I had just missed them.

Yes, you do, it takes about 10-15 minutes. The NZ Lamb Pie was excellent with the 2007 Langoa Barton.

Where can we find the menu for the J bar?
So one answer was that light bites menu is set meanwhile more replies said I can order anytime between lunch and breakfast (the 2 set meals)?

The bar menu is at the bar as ET mentioned. Some hot food/cold food like macaroons/canaps/mixed nuts etc.
There is also stuff that you can ask for (I sometimes ask for potato crisps/chips if they have any).Some of the bar food is stocked in a mini galley in the bar and other food is from the main galley.
I've never tried to order food from the bar menu and asked to be served at my seat.I usually eat at the bar itself If I'm hungry.

I have actually ordered the warm snacks (hardly anyone seems to know about them, and I have never experienced a crew that pro-actively promotes them) to my seat when I have skipped meal service, but it took ages to be prepared, and not always the most appetizing. Since then I just grab one of the mini sandwiches at the bar instead.

Can't confirm it. Most recently on JFK-DXB in J, tried order a light bite with 4 hours left in the flight and was told that service was over and to wait for the second meal. Was offered some potato chips to snack on in the meantime.

If some FA's are not allowing it, it's probably laziness.
