As far as I can tell pre order Meal is still only out of LHR.

Are there any plans for flights into LHR?

I don't know anything but I would imagine it would be hard to implement. At LHR they have one caterer. They use different caterers all around the world that would have to come onboard with the idea.

The choices for F BA 275 LHR T3 to LAS on 26 march 2016:

- Seared fillet of Aberdeen Angus beef with roasted shallot purée, herb polenta cakes, tenderstem broccoli, truffle and red wine jusAllergen information

- Seared sustainably sourced North Atlantic haddock with parsley root purée, courgette and orzo pasta risotto, parsley cream sauce and tomato confit

- Wild mushroom arancini marinated roast baby vegetables, butternut squash purée and whole grain mustard dressing with pistachio crumble

- Main course salad of mango, shredded cabbage and pea with seared scallops, crispy corn and chimichurri sauce

- Order when I get on board

1: i can make at home whithout tasting like rubber
2: haddock is still discounted at my fishmonger so ate that to often
3: mushroom ravioli is the signature dish of my crumpet
4: usually what i eat a lunch sans scallops
Unfortunately nothing interesting for me but i'll just take the KSML kosher meal for the team, my parents' sake and my own food sanity.

Do i get served first; is it all served on 1 tray and 1 go just like in CE? (I would prefer it though)

Just as a follow up, the smoked salmon was warm--and delicious! I also found the shrimp starter to be tasty (later on I grabbed the mozzarella starter from the Club kitchen as well).

Veal

Seared fillet of rose veal with rosemary jus, potato au gratin, buttered baby carrot and turnip medley and fresh asparagus.

The meat 'caramalised' to oblivion.

Please excuse my simple question, but I did not see the answer in the wiki.

To pre-order a meal for a long-haul flight departing LHR in premium cabin, can you do that online at MMB or do you order it at the Galleries or Galleries First lounges at T5?

The salad is very fresh too, maybe because of the baby gem used instead of some of the other leaves they have been using of late.

Out of the two starter options, the Tom and Moz looks and appears to be nicer. The prawn starter, the prawns were all eaten, but the rest of the plate was 50/50.
I agree about the starter, MrD had the tomato and Mozzarella, I went for the prawn. Prawns were OK but the aubergine was not good at all, avocado was not bad.
Tandoori chicken was a winner even if the cauliflower was cooked until it surrendered.

BA31 LHR-HKG 11 April World Traveller Plus

The World Traveller Plus menu for 11 April on BA31 from London to Hong Kong is as follows -

Starter
Potato salad with dill and smoked salmon

Main
Hong Kong style barbeque chicken, egg fried rice and kailan stir fried

or

Seared fillet of British beef with smoked potato fondant, romanesco, carrots and a tellicherry black pepper sauce

Dessert
Chocolate pot

or

Butler's Secret cheddar with crackers

According to this press release - http://mediacentre.britishairways.co...6/2016-72/6053 -

"From March 30, British Airways First, Club World and World Traveller Plus customers will also be able to enjoy special celebration dishes on board all flights to Hong Kong."

Presumably it's the BBQ Chicken that is the special celebration dish? I think I saw the exact same beef as someone's LAS flight further back in the thread. Anyone confirm?

Interesting - I found the aubergine delicious. Unfortunately I got stuck with prawns + salmon on that menu, but rather enjoyed them both - however the salmon was slightly overcooked and thus rather dry.

The ginger cake dessert served with ice cream was also wonderful.
