To my knowledge, the only destinations that escape the dreaded fate and have a second meal instead are West coast (SAN, LAX, SFO, SJC, SEA).
Incidentally, since we are at it. I did another of the dreaded 9am LHR-MIA in F. The combination of breakfast and afternoon tea was nothing short of vile (mixed grill was disgusting, roastbeef on the 'continental plate' had green hues, they ran out of freaking yoghurt, etc).
For the life of me, I just cannot understand why BA is able to offer a semblance of a brunch for main meal and tapas for second on short day JFK-LHR and BOS-LHR flights but cannot be arsed to have brunchy options on a 50% longer and later departing LHR-MIA.

Novice question, please. I thought - maybe wrongly - that CW and F had always different meals?
I ask because I saw that this course is listed in F and CW menu as well?

May I ask a question about preordering here? Do tell me if it is the wrong place.
Do you know of it ever happening that you order your choice and the menu is changed once you are on the flight? Many thanks, A-L
