Least you got the A33(3?) - both of my flights (today and return on Monday) were downgraded to 738 - justifiably, although load was reasonable today, but I keep missing the A330 on QF J and yet to try it.
They are all double catered except first flight of the day ex NZ.
I suspect it's for tea/coffee, if you look closely there is some sugar there as well. All of my recent flights have had this as well.
I suffer from gluten intolerance - not an allergy, thank goodness, and only an issue if I eat a lot of gluten. My doctor said "you won't be able to eat pizza or pasta, but you won't have to ask if there is gluten in the soy sauce or salad dressing."
- I know I am overly hopeful that the whole glutard thing will just turn out to have gone away each time I push the boundaries) , I am seriously considering ordering gluten free special meal on my upcoming trip from CBR-OOL and return.
I have coeliac disease and special meals have now returned to flights. So often I know I could eat the menu item (quinoa salad for instance) but I am not allowed to change as “there aren’t sufficient servings”. Usually I receive chicken or fish. Like all the meals, they are hit and miss. Sometimes good, other times dry. Eat the veggies but leave the meat. Sometimes a meat casserole but fatty and grisly just like normal meals. I’ve never been served pasta or pastry items. There was a sandwich once, but indeed it was like cardboard and inedible! GF bread needs warming to be edible, so I put it under the hot dish. But then you have to ask for butter, as GF combines with dairy free. Some nice but very rich desserts or an apple. I still tend to eat in the lounge and not eat on the flight.
Thank you @Port Power. Eat in the lounge is often my strategy too, although even that’s pretty hit and miss these days.

Of course GF still includes Neil Perry’s famous side salad!
International is usually much better, but let’s dream about that for now.
Thanks for posting- it's a bit of a (sad) eye opener to be honest. Priority boarding most of the time messed up, more often than not half the back of the plane happily let to the front to use the loo and even the food looks suspiciously identical.
Hope the B&M tasted better than it looks.
Last time I had it, it tasted no better than it looked
