Until 6 months ago BA did serve a hot meal on all flights, even very short ones, but that has stopped and it is a cold sandwich and a kitkat bar on many flights now. I've found IB regional jets have better food than BA. Now that makes a more interesting comparison: regional jet by IB and by AA (IB has MRTC in their regional jets and serves food better than AA F; somehow I don't think Eagle will be matching that business model). Rather interestingly IB mainline is far worse than IB Regional!
