An Indian gentleman of the Jain persuasion sitting next to me a few weeks ago told the purser he had ordered a special meal, only to be told that no such thing was available on shorthaul flights. He was served a meal nevertheless, but there was almost nothing on the tray that he could eat.

Lunch comprises of a salad, a choice of sandwiches, and a dessert.
The salad may or may not be vegetarian (in my experience it usually is, but that may be pure chance). I've never known them not to offer a vegetarian sandwich as one of the choices, and the dessert is vegetarian by definition.
If you are on a full flight or one with many rows of J class, you may wish to let the purser know as you board that you are a vegetarian, so that he or she can make sure to keep a vegetarian sandwich for you.
