I'm leaning towards the Pork Cheek or Prawn stir fry, anyone try any of these recently? I presume the beef is still best avoided unless you like boot leather...

I had the beef in F on the BA 99 to toronto a fortnight ago and it was actually pretty good and reasonably tender - remember to ask for the sides if not advised by the crew ( the sides are listed at the end of the main courses and are ok.
The vanilla ice cream was a too soft for my liking (becoming more like a sticky liquid rather than hard ice cream but the taste was ok.
YMMV of course but enjoy it.

My choices for F from LHR to YVR don't make me very anticipating, but I dared to try the beef since one would hope there's some chance it's okay from LHR. 
Still however time to change it.

This is for mid-November. I can't say I'm excited about this menu at all. The fish might be okay. The chicken always seems to end up pretty rubbery. OTOH, I'll have plenty of time before this flight to hang out in the CCR.

Agree with @orbitmic, we are indeed "running in circles". We have exactly the same menu (starters, mains and desserts) for late November CW BA41 LHR-DUR as those posted in https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/31598835-post2015.html https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/31598835-post2016.html.
I'll be having the Thai vegetable curry for main, but since the menu has obviously been served before has anyone got an opinion between the main courses for my partner?

Has anybody had any luck in pre-ordering their meal when flying LHR-AMM? Amman is on the list in the Wiki but I just get a message saying that pre-ordering isn't available for this flight.
We've got 2 weeks until we fly so it's hardly the end of the World.

I have the same question but to Durban - it’s in the Wiki but I’m being told unavailable. We also fly in 2 weeks.
