The cabin crew came around with the bread basket again (for everyone) after everyone had been served, but as all the rolls I liked the look of had gone by then I didn't take anything.
I strongly suspect the same salad is used for ovo-lacto vegetarian and non-dairy vegetarian, as well as perhaps some other meals. That's going on the way the butter on the normal trays was swapped for sunflower spread and the UHT milk went in favour of coffee creamer. Also the plastic-wrapped roll that was tossed away... I wonder if that was one of those gluten free ones.
The lady behind me had a seafood meal and it was a similar-looking salad, presumably with some prawns or similar rather than tofu.

Yesterdays club menu on the CAT-LGW flight, student's favourite dinner: chilli con carne. I was surprissed to see that someone in club actually ordered it. Well if you don't like fish you don't have much choice, other menu was penne with salmon.

BA213 CW LHR-BOS 22 November 2013
Menu:
Starter: Devon crab timbale
Surprisingly tasty, reasonable amount of crab too. Far better than expected.
Main: Seared fillet of beer
The presentation of the dish wasn't the best, but actually was a good quality steak, definitely not too tough.
Cheese:
BA238 CW BOS-LHR - CW 26 November 2013
Daytime return, so not the best options (definite understatement!).
"Brunch"
Aside from the plate of fruit, quite possibly the worst meal I've ever had the misfortune to eat on BA (and the presentation of what was in the bowl was pretty bad too). Thank goodness for the Club Kitchen!
"Main": Scallops
The scallops were nice, the sauce average & the potatoes undercooked.
Distinctly underwhelmed by the overall quality, quantity & range of options available on the daytime flight, arrived back in the UK feeling distinctly peckish.

And what time was the flight - does look pretty poor to me...

Ugh, I really don't like this chicken 'thing' they give out on evening flights. I prefer the prawns.

On BA113 LHR-JFK CW - 2nd April 2014
Marinated Scottish Salmon with with seaweed salad and Matsuhisa dressing (delicious)
Steamed Severn and Wye cod with grain mustard mash, asparagus and butternut squash with lemon and mint sauce (also delicious)
Came back on the BA238 BOS-LHR on 10th April 2014 and have rarely seen more visually unappealing food than the brunch so didn't take pictures but one item did in fact taste really good (rigatoni with wild mushroom ragout and ricotta)

Has the presentation and quality of food in CW improved pretty substantially of late? The pictures are looking better and comments are becomes much more favourable.
I haven't been a regular in CW for a while, only flying it maybe once or twice a month but I have only had one meal that I did not like.
That Devon Crab Timbale is my favourite!

If you stay clear of beef dishes, CW mains really aren't bad at all.
