Most passengers, who pose questions in this forum, are really not interested in where the food comes from. They just want to know if food is available in the train through the railway catering facilities - they don't really care if there is a pantry attached, or is it loaded from base stations, etc.
The only thing that the field specifies is "Is Food/Catering available in the train?". We are choosing NOT to specify Pantry Car, etc. That piece of information will not be available through this site. So, there won't be any room for misinterpretation, since that info (Pantry Car) is not available here.

Thanks for your reply. The feature modification has been very much based on this reasoning only.
@ We can not stop any passenger interpreting this info (food/catering) in either way. Some may interpret it as train having pantry car and some as Pantry only.
As you replied, no room for misinterpretation, since that info (pantry car) is not available here. However I think, absence of specific info generally cause the misunderstanding / misterpretation. But no issues and it's fine.

Thanks for raising the point and the discussion. The crux is that if we carefully avoid the word "Pantry", then any misinterpretation can be avoided. Case in point is the original issue raised, where if someone says "GR does not have pantry (car)", one may misinterpret it by thinking they will have to take food from home.
Now, the revised simple question is "Is food catered inside the train?". A simple answer like "Yes" is good enough for most people. If someone misinterprets this answer as "there is a pantry car attached", then that cannot be helped, since the answer is still accurate and to the point.

I think that the issue is clear for one and all.
