And, I imagine the flight where they ran out of fruit would have been from the US? There was a change to the catering recently out of the US where they have switched the loading of fruit V yoghurt, which used to be 90% fruit and 10% yoghurt, but when I was in IAD a few weeks ago, whilst the catering exec was telling me my loading, he said BA had switched it around as it was cheaper to load 80% yoghurt than have the bigger proportion cut fruit. I don't know if that is true or not, but we had the same issue, fruit gone by the second row of CW.
It was from Canada, so perhaps a similar approach to cost-saving. There were yoghurts available. The menu didn't make it clear it was a choice between them, although that's irrelevant anyway as there wasn't a choice available when it got to me.
So if you want fruit rather than (or maybe in addition to, according to the menu) yoghurt for breakfast it's best to sit in the front row of the 380, it seems. And status doesn't help.
It's a minor issue but a bit annoying for me as I couldn't eat the egg muffin that was the hot breakfast item, and the crew told me the croissant and bread items weren't nut-free, so I was hoping for some fruit with the small pot of yoghurt for my breakfast.
