As expected, chicken was disappointing, though not dried out. The chicken skin was pretty awful, and when removed to get at the meat, took all the "sauce" with it. Meh.
Sides were decent though.

Last flight, I actually took 1 bite and left it alone. Really crappy.
Will try again today, but not hopefull.
If anything, this one was actually the worst so far. Was a melted mess when served, and had a very off texture / taste. Not anything like premium ice cream that has melted. bleh
Left untouched after 1 small bite.

LHR->EWR 767
Attentive service. Purser asked for appetizer choice when confirming my preorder. Actually scored a drink refill during my meal as well.
No bread basket. Ran out of Coke Zero by mid-flight.
Burrata appetizer was very good. Enjoyed it very much, though ate it after my main since I wanted to eat before it got cold.
Chicken very "meh", as described above. Potatoes were very good. Peas / carrots fine as well.
Bleh!
Croque Monsieur, which is the first time I have seen on the arrival menu. Was decent, much better than the chicken sandwich.
Bread crispy, cheese melted. A bit stuck to the dish upon serving, but once free, not bad. And I like it with the English mustard as well.
Fries were crap as always. Would have been much better with decent sized bag of good English crisps.
