Thanks for taking the trouble to share. I perfectly understand how someone from Finchley, would yearn for that dried out cold gruel in the VIE BA lounge and would take umbrage when faced with someone like me who resides by the fresh trout rivers of the Test in Hampshire. You are simply so far from being able to eat anything edible. Understood! ^
My suggestion is that you should make your way along the end of your road and turn left and keep going until you find Wetherspoons. If the BA VIE lounge makes you happy and content then perhaps a trip to Wetherspoons will open your eyes to what is possible for a fiver.
Thanks again.
Of course the best thing about being in the "BA" lounge at VIE is that it means I'm on my way home - but the food is invariably better than "dinner" in CE on BA 705 or anything I've ever paid <£5 for in "Wetherspoon's".
Incidentally, since you mention trout, you seem to have forgotten that the most popular and inexpensive trout ever "produced" is "Die Forelle" ("The Trout") written by Franz Schubert a few miles from where VIE stands today!
