Perhaps our minds play tricks with us once sat in a F class cabin ……. but if you strip away the setting / fancy crockery / tablecloth, and instead pop the contents into a foil tray, this chicken dish would then seem for all the world like a fairly routine (and low cost) economy class meal on many carriers.

Come on, BA, please try harder !
Having had this dish earlier this month I can confirm that is was one of the most ordinary meals I have had in F on any airline. Put that in an economy tray and it might be passable.

This is in the same month that BA are serving actual caviar on a dish in the T5 CCR.
