I knew this flight wasn't one to be taken for its meals but I don't think I've ever been completely put off by everything in the second meal service, and had to return unfinished plates from the first...

I had the salmon trio which was really tasty, the full breakfast of which I handed most of the plate back unfinished (the sausage and egg were both questionable), and the steak and egg panini at the second meal service which was enormous, egg of questionable standard again and bread unsurprisingly overly sweet (not really a panini either).
