Special meals are not available for flights under 75min in business, so maybe your TLL leg will qualify.

FRA-TLL is >75min. And I was able to select SPML for ZRH-FRA also. So it is selectable on the website but won‘t be served on board? Odd.

Catering in F/C will be back to normal starting June 15. Economy catering is coming back to normal as the supply chains are restored.

ZRH-FRA. One option, cold plate with meat. No vegetarian option, no preorder possible. 
FRA-TLL. Vegan meal. Cold plate. Tasty but small portion.

Flying LHLH (long haul Lufthansa) F in a few weeks. Is the consensus still that it's better to cobble together bits from the various dishes on the menu rather than to order a special meal? I don't do meat, dairy or eggs but can do fish as well as fruits and vegetables. The menu seems to have fish choices for both appetizers and mains, so that's what I would order and hopefully there won't be cream in the sauces. I read most of this thread and although the vast majority of the posts are pre-pandemic, the consensus then was definitely avoid any SPML if flying in First or Biz. I assume the FCT can do vegan or fish dishes no problem for breakfast/brunch.

As a measure for climate change adaptation, all meals in all classes should by default be vegetarian/vegan, and meat dishes should be treated special meal on request. Such a simple change could improve the CO2 footprint and the image of LH.

LH could be the first airline to offer an insect based SPML.

I can tell you that last year sometime (or earlier) Eurowings was offering a packet of crunchy somethings made out of insects or worms on its BoB menu. I don't know if anyone bought them. I certainly didn't.
