I agree with A3, they usually have great light options, less so with BA (no experience on AY or IB) - the thing is that even the continental option or the special meals still tend to be based on the idea that people want to pack themselves in the morning, just with a different stuff. Breakfast is the only meal of the day when I appreciate the French cuisine

In that sense, when done right, I'll gladly take the AF's only option instead of BA's three options which I all dislike or random special meal that can go either way.
