This was breakfast on today's HEL-OSL. Not very tasty if I may say so.
I had that same plastic microwave breakfast a few weeks ago during the overtime-ban on my HEL-FRA flight.I gave AY feedback about it and received a Delicard voucher as compensation. I'm happy with that as it looks like this really was a temporary service issue.

Real plates and proper meals on HEL-DUS yesterday as well. ^ I am happy the microwave stuff is gone but still strange that there was never any communication from AY or even apology from FA for the lack of service...

Nice, thanks!

I assume odd numbers are consistently outbound from HEL, even numbers homebound and that lower numbers in a series is earlier in the day?

Not sure how this was generated but some return flights seem missing. And I don't think Finnair markets Bordeaux. AFAIK, it is just a refuelling stop for the Canaries.

Also suspiciously few Estonia and no Latvia flights.

Quite true - does not really belong to a food thread. I will look at the other comments (below) and post a fine tuned cheat sheet in a new thread.

Yes, mushroom ravioli. Very filling and tasty. The other option was a pork stew.

This was my OH's vegetarian pre-ordered dish:
