And I really really really would like to ask people not to pass judgements about her. It was not a big deal. I am more embarrassed myself that I thought it was something it was not.
You have nothing to be embarrassed about. When everyone else sees Carpaccio, they also expect it to be meat!
It reminds me that BA never seem to have menus available in any language other than English, unlike many other carriers.
Or am I simply not travelling the right routes where BA does offer a translated menu?
