Why bother with plates if what you're serving in GF resembles dog food anyway?

The food in the F lounge is back to the slop aka dog food that was served a few months ago.
To make it official, there are no plates anymore in the buffet area. Only a few bowls, a bit like dog bowls, that in all honesty, are more than appropriate to what is being served.
Chili com carne anyone?
It is my opinion that the current lounge operator upped their game after the flood of complaints a few months ago. But now they are back to serving horrible cheap food that is not really any good.
Rant over.

I don't think the current menu is as good as it was a few months ago, but it's still MUCH better than what it was when BaxterStorey first took over.
Remember there's iPads dotted around the lounge to leave feedback on - use them.

The pasta is too stodgy, the salads not crunchy enough, the chili is a bit industrial, etc. I've given up on the burger because my wife says they make me fat, and because they taste like crap. I'm reasonably OK with the pork wrap, shame it's so small. Is it my imagination or were there ramen noodles on the menu a few months ago?

FWIW, I bekieve the attitude of the OP should be shelved.! Master-servant attituse is too "old school' time of the Raj". OTOH, perhaps the OPs dogs get fed better than MOST of humanity.
I am just returning from the developing world and if any reader thinks I am being too negative to the OPs attitude .. well too bad. Nothing personal at all toward the OP - just toward the self-righteous attitude.
BA lounges are just fine - seriously they are. You should try a lounge while flying with Air Botswana ... no lounges for anyone. Not even Air Asia (rated as world's best LCC) has a lounge. BUT they do land safely :-)

But I guess that since you've endured the hardship of the developing world, that now entitles you to say how frivolous everybody around you is.
By that measure, all luxury brands should be shut down. How dare they!
