I think only asian airlines do the hot snacks properly (eg. on CX they cater to BOTH western and asian snacks such as crab cakes, noodle soup (NOT POT NOODLES!), pizzas, HOT sandwiches, quiches etc... These are proper snacks in J Class.
I've seen pot noodle on CX flights!

A couple of times the crew have even remarked that the CW pax never use it and the food goes to waste.

If I'm in CW I'm not too bother if someone from WT+ takes the odd sandwich but I suppose I would be annoyed if I found that the kitchen had been emptied by all the WT+ pax.
I thought that it was used so muc that they ran out of supplies. I'm sure it varies from flight to flight but I don't think BA would spend all that money on something which wasn't needed anyway.

I am not sure of the brand name of the products (they are sold in Waitrose)
one is a mushroom pasta dish and the other chicken. I will try and found out the exact details. For quality control purposes I tried both and liked them, but they do need more salt and pepper.

Don't say that about microwave meals "more salt and pepper"!!! They've got more than you think. Interesting to hear that they're sold in Waitrose too. I guess it's from one of the ready meals manufacturers. I guess sales will fall now that you've meantioned they're sold in Waitrose. "Authentic aeroplane meal" hmmm...
