If you're asking me about the beef in the pic I posted, it was very good. The darkness on the outside isn't the issue, the steaks come onboard pre-seared and it's what happens next that makes the difference.
This time the enjoyment was a result of a successful effort to persuade the crew to cook it medium-rare using the Filthy Monkey method.
Steaks on a plane...
Several previous unsuccessful attempts have resulted in the traditional BA trademark Grey & Tough result, so it's a lottery until you talk to the crew. For this reason I no longer pre-order beef on BA, apart from slow-cooked dishes.

Has anyone had recent experience of BA117 in Club or First? (0825 to JFK). I believe it is breakfast for main meal and just wondering what sort of options there are? (Still too far out to see in MMB)

July CW, LHR-KUL
Starters:
Smoked garlic and herb chicken terrine with pickled vegetables, puffed kasha and golden raisin puree
Tomato and basil soup
Cobb salad served with balsamic and pesto dressing
Mains:
Fried loin of lamb with scallions and chilli, fried green beans and egg fried rice
North Atlantic sea trout, crushed new potatoes, soy glazed salsify and white wine beurre blanc
Paneer, sweet potato, cauliflower and chickpea korma with Jasmine rice
Desserts
Chocolate caramel layer cake
Warm apple pie with vanilla crme anglaise
Coastal cheddar, west country brie, Shropshire blue with walnuts, biscuit, and apricot chutney.
I'm a bit confused, by the choices above, should there not be another standard (non-soup non-salad) starter in CW?
For mains, hesitating between the seatrout (have already had variations of it and quite liked it) and the fried lamb loin which I have never tried before but sounds intriguing? Any advice or picture appreciated!

On late night departures there is only a choice of one cold starter or soup, all customers get a small salad with no choice of dressing.
The items that you get extra on day departures are another cold starter, a larger salad with a choice of two dressing plus two other desserts one being fresh fruit.

We find that customers don’t want a long drawn out service at that time of night but there is no reason why you couldn’t ask for the starter and soup plus all the desserts, if available after everyone has ordered their first choice we would be happy to serve you.
