I cannot understand how a Band 3 which arrives 8PM can be afternoon tea and there is no choice but made yesterday evening afternoon tea! Awful! On top of that, there is afternoon tea in GF for those who want it.
If I order a child's meal would it be hot? Like fish sticks or something?

Hot tray of oversalted mash, peas and breaded chicken nuggets
bag of mini-Cheddars
Bag of chocolate M&M
A "Fruit Shoot" drink
A youghurty desert pot
Bread roll from basket.
It really isn't great, but the Twinky Defence would probably be available to you if you ate it.

It's such a terrible shame that whilst food in CE continues to see improvement, food in ET continues its apparent inexorable descent towards inedibility. Yesterday, flying from NCE to LHR departing at 2030 (ish, in this case), we were served a tiny, miserable ham sandwich and an inedible chocolate orange 'bun', which was perhaps the most hideous piece of sponge I've ever had the misfortune to attempt to eat, with all the texture and taste of sawdust.

I wondered if the BCN-LGW flight I took was a trial? Mine came as three finger sandwiches. I noticed the normal afternoon tea sandwiches came in a plastic wrapper, a bit like I have had as a veggie in Club World for afternoon tea.

Yes, if you depart before 09:30 hrs, which is a generous view of red eye even by the louche standards of this fellowship. Any good? Probably the best in air breakfast this side of First.

Yes, I had my first domestic breakfast in September and it was pretty good. The fry up was just the right quantity, but as I was travelling with a vegan I ended up scoffing the vegetarian option too! What a pig you might say!

Traditional breakfast
Cheese omelette with chestnut mushroom sauce and slow roasted tomatoes
