The scones are delivered within 24 hours of consumption, and often a lot less, there is very little storage room for food in T5, almost everything consumed anywhere in T5 is done on a JIT basis, so it's difficult to see how it could get stale.
This reply made me smile. The great mystery of the stale scone. It's impossible for BA to serve a stale scone? Being delivered within 24 hours of consumption doesn't indicate fresh. When the scones were freshly cooked is a far better indicator. Not when they were delivered. Having scones left out on the buffet for hours isn't helpful either. BA scones in F are hardly delicious regardless of freshness. Lastly, my tastebuds told me the scone was stale.
