I also would have liked a non vegetarian quiche slice but I suppose BA needs to save the pennies and not serve a miniature Quiche Lorraine!

For a flight that’s over 2 hours long it’s a disgraceful downgrade. If I’d been served the proper Band 3 hot meal I now wouldn't be needing to get dinner tonight in London…
FCO is still Band 3 ,so with plougmans, it should be drinks with nuts, meal followed by bar with tea and coffee on the bar, clear in and offer drinks throughout of course afaik.
