Said the airline who introduced the world to ambient snacks https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/brit...t#post26823987 . This is truly too rich.

"I had the yellow curry halibut, with spicy green beans and steamed rice. The dish was excellent, though on the small side (at least if you don’t want to eat all the rice)."

“Food is one of the main drivers for people to book an airline,” said Colin Talbot, head of catering at BA. “We know that if we get that food right on all of our flights, it’s the number one driver for bringing people back. We spend a lot of time trying to get it right and for our customers, food is an emotion and a passion.
Obviously CX dont agree

Wife and I have CX J tix in a few days - curious if CX has made any substantial improvements in catering ex-HKG? If not, odds look good that we can upgrade on AA, so we may switch. Incredible that AA's J catering is at least as good (if not better) than CX these days.
