Can I pre-order a meal on a Russian train? How? - Crop people clinking glasses over table

I have Russian railway tickets in classes 2Т and 2К. In class 2Т, there is at least some meal included in the price, I'm guessing supper (see this answer by artptr and this webpage on Types and classes of service by RZD). This answer by columbien links a Russian language review about pre-ordering meals, including an option for ужин-вегетарианский, which meaning supper-vegetarian, which would suit me well, in particular since I should apparently not assume such an option to be available by default.

Can I pre-order meals with my class 2Т tickets on trains 042В and 041М? If so, how? I looked under my orders at my online account with rzd.ru but did not see an option for it, and the Russian language version did not appear to have more options than the English language one.
