Perhaps ok for an Asian vegetarian meal, but I know I can order that if I want just veg. I ordered the Hindu meal because I want meat, and BA always has a nice meat curry.
The second “extra bites” service was also disappointing. It was very plain, and contained a plastic wrapped sandwich that had “Vegan Sandwich” printed on it. In this case, VS clearly just went lazy and provided a vegan preparation without any taste or imagination.
BA switched its Hindu meal to be a veg curry few years ago.
