Thank you.

I have to avoid melted/cooked cheese. Sounds ridiculous I know but the fact remains that I am likely to vomit profusely an hour or so after consuming any significant quantity of it. These days more and more items on a menu seem to contain cheese. If the cheese is in its original state its fine, and all other dairy is OK. This is such an odd one that even my own grown up children did not believe me and one blind tested me on purpose and another forgot and accidentally put cheese in a meal. Shall we say they believe me now lol

I did not really think cheese in airline meals would be a problem until I flew with United (premium) a couple of times and realised that pretty much all their foods contain cheese, seemingly a very american thing. The cabin crew were super helpful and accommodating but I don`t like making a fuss. After the first experience I took some of my own food on board.

I flew BA for the first time at the end of last year and was delighted that the Xmas meals and other choices meant I could easily avoid cooked cheese, though its presence did mean I could not eat the mashed potato served with the lamb! (Why put cheese in mash?) However that was in business and traveller plus , and over the Xmas period, not WT which I m this time. Looking at special meals my somewhat odd requirement could likely be met with some of the options but I`d hoped to discover what BA`s meals on my route usually are to help me make that decision.
