There is a post somewhere on this forum about this but the huge cost savings on the BS contract vs Compass was in the order of millions so something had to give. Food, especially protein is very expensive, look at the CE afternoon tea. Carbs are cheap. There is a reason why BA is Bevvie Airways, especially assisted Diageo.

It's highly amusing the plastic chicken in the club sandwich is too premium to feature in the GF menu .
