what to pack for dinner on a 9hr plane ride?

You can freeze deli meats. Once on a long train trip I froze the deli meats in a sandwich baggie which in turn was placed inside another sandwich baggie with the cheese. The frozen meat kept the cheese cool. Once the meat thawed in flight I had packed a few tortillas and made ham and cheese rollups. Tortillas/pitas are great since they really can't get smushed. A can of pringles are also great for a snack since you can pack the can and don't have to worry about pulverized smushed chips.

another of my favorite travel snacks are the 100 calorie packs of almonds by Blue Diamond.

I like the tortilla idea, I can bring a dozen in a pretty small amount of space. Plus my kids all like roll ups. And pringles! I forgot how they come in small cans now- I'm forming a pretty good idea of our dining plan

Not drink. I don't know where you're getting that idea. That's liquid, and it's prohibited unless the containers are 3.4 ounces or less each and in your 3-1-1 bag.

Agreed.

But you can bring empty containers (empty water bottles, etc) and fill them with water at water fountains once you're past security.
