Agreed. I often have the main course salad when flying F, and often find it the best option (not always, but often). I have never had an issue with size. Obviously, I am not an ogre, but in F, you can easily have a starter, a soup or salad, the main, cheese, and dessert so it's not as though anyone was going to be particularly hungry after the main meal!

BA48 F SEA-LHR (sept 27th)
Starter was duck breast, main was sea bass with lobster bisque and crab. Starter was a bit dry, main was OK also a bit dry but the sauce helped, FWIW the menu had monkfish but the FA explained they swapped it for sea bass which worked out since I was in the mood for something light and leaning towards seafood and had picked the monkfish for the return.
BA49 F (oct 6th)
French onion soup starter, monkfish with lobster bisque main. I was wondering how they were going to pull off french onion soup on a plane...spoiler alert they didn't and it was certainly not what one traditionally expects with french onion but tasted OK. Fish was nice, I opted to eat about 2.5 hours into the flight and it was still moist and tasty.

I have the same choices for BA0197 LHR-IAH at the beginning of November. The Chicken Pie has swayed me away from risking the beef. Fingers crossed the starters are the same too, as I haven't asked YF for the menu yet, just seen the pre-order in MMB.

If the pre-order is available in MMB then you will be able to see the whole menu. It’s on the same page!
