BA's marketing overseas often uses all the usual suspects when it comes to London's imagery simply because that's what people like to see/expect. Maybe honing that a bit more with the menu would be a good idea?
I think offering international food to international travellers makes far more sense than offering some prehistoric 'British' stodge that is not even served in the worst of school dinners anymore.

Esp as the British themselves don't eat it anymore!
