Yes, I know that. I was pointing out the fact in case people wanted to directly compare. I was pleased to see they look virtually the same which I guess also pleases the catering gurus at BA as that is clearly the aim.

I quite like beetroot. In Australia it is very common to have beetroot as one of the elements in a burger (which tastes sensational by the way) so I am very used to it.
It's very inoffensive too. It's not like a plate of brussels sprouts - those vile green explosions of taste hell would have me leaping for the exits!
