I just don’t understand how much the attitude varies by crew… LIS to DUB last night I was offered whatever I wanted - when I just asked for a coffee and Pringles I was asked if I was sure… I know they were only going to dump it but even a breakfast was on offer 😂

Several recent crews on LHRs have been very reluctant to do breakfasts or sausage rolls, my sense was they take long enough to cook that by the time it gets served the plane is already starting to descend.

It should not be rocket science for them to work out how many of each hot item gets purchased on average on each route and then to put that number in the oven before take-off so they can deliver immediately. I get the reluctance, but also it's a bit of a problem of their own making.

I still don't understand why they don't heat some of them before the flight departs.

Reading this thread gives me a headache. I’ve 8 Aerspace returns booked between DUB and FRA from June to Sept and I’m not looking forward to the conversations with the crew.

You'll likely be okay, but maybe keep a screenshot on your phone of what you're entitled to, in case someone doesn't know the rules.

FRA is a two hour flight basically. No excuse for not warming up a breakfast. I got one in February going to MUC no problem.

No, I didn’t. But when advising me that the breakfast had to be paid for, the cabin crew member (who was very nice to speak to) said that cabin crew had received written instructions to charge for breakfasts. I note that the website now says….
*The complimentary refreshment is one drink (hot/cold/alcoholic) and one item of food (snack or sandwich/wrap), subject to availability on board.
This being the case, the sandwich meal deal (Tea and a Sandwich) at EUR 8 is probably still available. But it begs the question, why annoy people for the sake of an extra €2. The old Oscar Wilde saying comes to mind…..Nowadays people (Aer Lingus in this case) know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

If they persist the row will be empty on the vast majority of flights.
