| What they need on the IST-BOM leg in J is a second round of service. They serve you a pared down meal after T/O, then disappear for the rest of the flight which is nearly 6 hours long. |

They could do a second service for passengers who are awake. Given the time of the flight maybe after the first meal service, most doze off. |

It's a guy in a chef's hat in J who plates your food and walks up and down the aisle making sure it all looks good. He's mostly for show. |

Interesting to note that at one time, airlines food used to be considered as a panacea of quality dining. With booming of upmarket restaurants, you no longer need to fly to pamper your palate.
