Reason is likely due to late aircraft change. After delays at check-in, and then late and slow boarding by bus to a remote stand, the captain explained that our night stopping A320 had developed a technical hitch during the night and when the crew arrived they were advised to take the A319, which had arrived yesterday afternoon and wasn’t due to operate to LHR until 10:25. I’m therefore assuming that the tray with couscous was what had been loaded Ex LHR yesterday for the later return today. Anybody know if the hot component is usually loaded at the out station or is does it come up from Heathrow ? I’m wondering if maybe the bacon rolls were loaded on at EDI because the aircraft didn’t have the relevant crockery for plating the full English ?

No big deal and at the end of the day just happy to get away with only 30 mins delay. Would be interested if anyone has any insight.
