I don't see the problem. The code is based on the Angular HTTP example from https://angular.io/tutorial/toh-pt6. I'm using Angular ^5.0.0, rxjs ^5.5.2

Code from meal.service.ts:

import { Injectable }              from '@angular/core';
import { Observable }              from 'rxjs/Observable';
import { catchError, map, tap }    from 'rxjs/operators';
import { of }                      from 'rxjs/observable/of';
import { HttpClient, HttpHeaders,
         HttpParams }              from '@angular/common/http';

import { MessageService }          from './message.service';
import { Meal, oneMeal, Meals }    from './meal';

const httpOptions = {
  headers: new HttpHeaders({'Content-Type': 'application/json'})
};

@Injectable()
export class MealService {

  constructor(
    private http: HttpClient,
    private messageService: MessageService
  ) { };

  private mealUrl = 'http://192.168.178.11:1337/api/meal';

  private log(message: string) {
    this.messageService.add('MealService: ' + message);
  };

  private handleError<T> (operation = 'operation', result?: T) {
    return (error: any): Observable<T> => {
      console.error(error)
      this.log(`${operation} failed: ${error.message}`);
      return of(result as T);
    };
  }

  getMeals (page:number): Observable<Meals> {
    let httpParams = new HttpParams().set('where', '%')
      .set('orderBy', 'meal_id')
      .set('page', page.toString())
      .set('items', '10');
    //this.messageService.add('Debug: ' + httpParams);
    return this.http.get<Meals>(this.mealUrl, { params: httpParams  })
      .pipe(
        tap(meals => this.log(`fetched ${meals.count} entries`)),
        catchError(this.handleError('getMeals', <Meals>)) // Line 46: the Error
      );
  };

  getMeal (id:number): Observable<oneMeal> {
    let httpParams = new HttpParams().set('id', id.toString());
    //this.messageService.add(`MealService: fetched meal_id=${id}`);
    return this.http.get<oneMeal>(this.mealUrl, { params: httpParams })
      .pipe(
        tap(meal => this.log(`fetched ${meal.data[0].meal_name}`))//,
        //catchError(this.handleError('getMeal', <oneMeal>))
      );
  }
}

You are calling generic method in wrong way so that you get this -

ERROR in src/app/meal.service.ts(46,56): error TS1109: Expression expected

Wrong way

catchError(this.handleError('getMeals', <Meals>)) // Line 46: the Error

Correct way

catchError(this.handleError<Meals>('getMeals'))

 getMeals (page:number): Observable<Meals> {
    let httpParams = new HttpParams().set('where', '%')
      .set('orderBy', 'meal_id')
      .set('page', page.toString())
      .set('items', '10');
    //this.messageService.add('Debug: ' + httpParams);
    return this.http.get<Meals>(this.mealUrl, { params: httpParams  })
      .pipe(
        tap(meals => this.log(`fetched ${meals.count} entries`)),
        catchError(this.handleError<Meals>('getMeals')) // Line 46: the Error
      );
  };

if you check the handleError function in the documentation that you refered to, you will notice it's expecting to receive a parameter,

private handleError<T> (operation = 'operation', result?: T) {
return (error: any): Observable<T> => {

  // TODO: send the error to remote logging infrastructure
  console.error(error); // log to console instead

  // TODO: better job of transforming error for user consumption
  this.log(`${operation} failed: ${error.message}`);

  // Let the app keep running by returning an empty result.
  return of(result as T);
 };
}

But in your code, you are using the handleError function wrong.

getMeals (page:number): Observable<Meals> {
    let httpParams = new HttpParams().set('where', '%')
      .set('orderBy', 'meal_id')
      .set('page', page.toString())
      .set('items', '10');
    //this.messageService.add('Debug: ' + httpParams);
    return this.http.get<Meals>(this.mealUrl, { params: httpParams  })
      .pipe(
        tap(meals => this.log(`fetched ${meals.count} entries`)),
        catchError(this.handleError('getMeals', <Meals>)) // Line 46: the Error
      );
  };

That's why you get this - ERROR in src/app/meal.service.ts(46,56): error TS1109: Expression expected. So try this -

catchError(this.handleError< Meals >('getMeals'))

Hope that helps.
