Without trying to bash BA, what do other carriers offer on this front?

I’ve only been on LX and LH in F other than BA and can’t rememebr there being any dedicated ‘snacks’ as such but didn’t go looking either.
QR and QF definitely have mid-flight light meals available, even in business class, and last time I flew EY they did too. AA definitely does - even in business class they put out a spread with sandwiches and appetizer type things between meals - even JFK-LHR. Also, I think most airlines are dine on demand in First Class. I don't like chocolates and chips but if I was hungry might want a sandwich or something.

On LH and LX not sure - but they seem to cater more than BA. I've been on flights where they offer a second main course or seconds from the appetizer and caviar carts. Most of the time I eat in the lounge and just sleep during the flight or do some work. I flew BA first in December and obviously didn't notice, but just assumed they must have some sandwiches. Is Club Kitchen totally gone then? I thought they still had it on longer flights.
