i was on this flight on 10/8 and had the same menu.....the pre-arrival eggplant was just a penne pasta dish with diced eggplant and no minced beef to be seen.

PDB I asked for a G&T which was happily accommodated

had to ask every time for a refill or else the crew would whisk my glass
away.....so annoying.

even requests for water were ignored and required follow up.

not impressed.
