I think that was OpenSkies, not BA itself...

Well sometimes you can get three choices if the customer load increases on the day. The flights are monitored up until just before departure and if more passengers turn up or book at the outstation, the caterers send out a top up truck.
So just before departure from the UK we can receive a catering top up and if this is for the inbound sector, it often is not the same catering and therefore you end up with three options to offer, the original two plus another version for the top up number added.

Sorry no photo, but the raspberry jam iced buns in SH Y are exceedingly good - would recommend a roll out across all flights!

Apologies for lowering the tone, but this looks like someone's large backside hanging out of an ill-fitting pair of tight pink shorts.

It also kind of looks like something else but I won't go into that. I'm not one for being fussy about presentation but I would probably find myself rearranging this before digging in. After sn1ggering first. <-can't believe the crude filtering on flyertalk removes this.

The problem with the presentation from a technical standpoint is that the smoked salmon might make the blinis soggy.

I'll be pilloried for giving BA ideas, but after flying around the USA a lot lately, I'd much rather they do away with band 1 catering altogether and just get promptly to the drinks service, followed by a snack basket.




Why would anyone want high fat processed &quot;snacks&quot; over a (relatively) healthy fresh salad?

I get you have had it a lot, but over what time frame? It's not as though warm nuts get boring just because they are always offered is it?
Because some of us don't like salad. And crisps are delicious.
I've always thought delicious salad was an oxymoron.
