At the moment I'm not due a CE for a little while but will comment. My intuitive reaction is that this is still a bit weak for band 2 but I'll reserve judgement till I try the actual thing. On the face of it, it now seems closer to LH quantities and style on similar route lengths, though still well below AF offerings for which hot food starts kicking in for significantly shorter flights.
As mentioned in an earlier post about loadings (3 beef salads for 8 pax or more), I also worry about people on band 4 being limited to the band 1 meal+cheese once the hot options have run out.
