I'm wondering the same for BA057 next Friday. The lobster thermidor looks ghastly. As a pescatarian, I'm left with no other option unless I go the dreaded VGML route.

Yes, you make a good point, but the recent reports on the lobster are pretty damning, and I've pretty much given up on beef with BA after a couple of failed attempts to emulate the achievements of Filthy Monkey in getting a steak cooked anything other than grey/brown. So I am considering the chicken dish...

You're right it showed up on the pre-order last year when we travelled on 21st. Yes it's quite a good menu. Will probably go for the duck. Any experience with BA and duck?

Havent done your flight, but if LHR-JFK is a guide, you’ll still be offered afternoon tea as the 2nd meal. It’s been the offering to me on later departing flights to JFK.
