Best Food in OneWorld

I did not think I would come to say this but I am find the food on BA and QF better than that on CX. I fly F long haul on all three of these airlines. CX serves up a dollop of caviar but other than that I have been surprised by the lack of variety of late.

On BA and QF I almost always see a selection of three or four mains. One of these will include a fish dish. On CX I recently flew SFO-HKG, HKG-MEL, MEL-HKG, and HKG-LHR and there was not a single fish course offered on any of these sectors. On all of these flights there was a choice of three mains one of which was Asian, another was always beef and the final choice was pasta.

All of these airlines usually offer a selection of "snacks" between the main meal and a pre-landing service. BA and QF offer a much better selection than CX. On the recent HKG-LHR sector the snacks were a choice of noodles.

Finally, a non-food item. BA and QF both provide a "mattress" for their seats. Maybe I am losing it but this is not true for CX. Certainly not on my recent sectors.
