True, but on the last 3 flights I've taken (my only bmi flights since the changes) the bacon sandwiches were announced as being "out of stock" at the start of the flight, and on one the only sandwich available was cheese.

Two of these were ex-LHR so either they are cutting even paid catering to the bone or they have some logistics issues!

The whole menu thing is very badly thought out too - why not just leave the menu in the seatback pocket like easyjet? Or put up details of the menus in the gate areas? Speeds up service and actually gives not-so-regular travellers time to have a read!
