Blue crab salad. While nice...honestly, this is so mis-described that it does not resemble the text on the menu.

I posted this same appetizer 2 weeks ago. There was a comment or 2 about not seeing the crab which, in my opinion, when seen destroys the presentation. Happily, again the crab was hidden. But, this time it was a perfect balance of the two. Honestly, one of the best appetizers I have had with BA.

Two very contrasting courses from the lunch menu aboard BA108 [DXB-LHR] earlier today. I had the octopus starter which was light and very tasty, highly recommended. The beef main, however, was lacking in taste, the potato was stodgy and the whole thing needed some sauce. So, best avoided!

LHR-LAX mid March BA281.

YouFirst provided me with this. Underwhelmed and disappointed. Soups, starters, deserts and (80%) of the main courses identical to flights in January and February to LAX, DXB and AUH - and other flights not taken by me but seen through menus posted here. Come on BA - step it up for your £40k required annual spend.

Thanks for posting, I am on the 269 on 28/03 and can see this also applies. Would you mind posting the 'light meal' options as will if provided?

Not thrilled but if I was having it now, I'd go carpaccio, beef, cheese. If I can't get the beef it'll be a real struggle though. If only pre-ordering was not beyond BA to implement.

I had this yesterday and would tend to agree, simply superb starter, if only all BA food was this good. I think you got better presentation, looks a bit messy with the crab spilling out.

I agree about your presentation, but it is forgivable due to the taste. 😎

LHR-JFK Feb 28. Rather lovely avocado crab starter. Beef was cooked nicely. Dessert choices are limited for us unlucky gluten intolerant.

Didn’t try the light meal as enjoyed a rather long nap for takeoff.
