Afternoon meal is again the weakest: Sandwiches have reduced(!) in portion size. Ploughmans comes with the packaged, rock-hard rye bread - how can we be offered fresh warm bread at breakfast and with the dinner panini on a band 1, but not when it would be most appreciated, maybe they could throw in some scones while they're at it?
On all band 1s I've had it's been warm towel on the ground, food out on the trolley immediately after TO followed by drinks run - trays hand cleared and no issues with 2nd or even 3rd drinks run (even with 7 rows of CE on a 40 minute flight).
Indeed. While all meat that is cured with salt is technically "processed" that meat contains potassium nitrate/sodium nitrate preservative and I'm sure the Scotch egg will too, god knows what's in the "BA bread" and the "BA cake". Palma ham and to my recollection bresaola cannot contain those chemicals and are salt-cured only but quite expensive and would use up all the budget like the butterflied prawn. You can buy salt-cured bacon & ham that is free from chemicals from good butchers shops; I recall Hairy Bikers visiting a place in NI that did it.
