My first experience of the new set up on a band 4 on a RAK return, ex LGW. It seems a bit of a mess. Quality excellent but some points I found a bit strange:

-The meat hot option both ways was a curry. Beef massaman outbound (very good) and butter chicken inbound (good). While both were tasty I haven’t seen curry as the main meat option on both an outbound and inbound before; I know there’s vegetarian or salad but it seems strange.
-We (2 pax) ended up with two different deserts outbound, one matched the menu, the other didn’t.
-The starter (olives, stuffed peppers, etc.) and cheese plates were identical both ways. That meant that half the tray was identical on the outbound and inbound. It also transpired my outbound desert was that intended for the return so I in fact had everything identical apart from the hot meal!

Is it normal to offer curry outbound and inbound on the same rotation? Also, is it the standard to have identical starter and cheese plates outbound and inbound? While the quality was good it felt lacking because of this, a bit half hearted on BA’s part and dampened the meal a tad.
