Out of interest, what does the LHR-MIA route get in terms of he second meal in CW and F these days? I know it's East Coast, but at over 4,000 miles it's further than the others, and ORD. Is it more like the West Coast second meal, or afternoon tea?

Why can't we pre-order a meal (other than a restricted diet) on LAX-LHR? Is it because it's a night flight?
Speaking of restricted, how's the gluten free option in CW? I've found that it's one of the best options on AA.

Same as the menu for LHR-JNB on August 8. Haven't entered the window for our return flight yet.

I don't want any of these main courses.
BA shoe leather, a plate of rice, a fish salad, another fish salad, and a warmed up hamburger don't constitute a first class menu.

I am faced with the same main courses for a flight in August. (I don't know what the starters and afters are - the full menu page won't load.)

the dreaded (by me at least) afternoon tea. Only west coast flights get a second actual meal.

We had this menu LHR SFO earlier this month. I'll post the pictures on the appropriate thread later. The scallop starter was just that one overcooked scallop. The beef was like shoe leather and my wife said the fish was bland and overcooked. We had a great crew and they were embarrassed by the food. I was even more annoyed that the full First Bar wasn't loaded on either flight. Apparently this is very common now so I expect we will see First drinks selection enhanced again. I checked the red wines to gauge the average price - £9 a bottle!
Not had any issues with the First bar, full complement on my flights. I don't price the wines I see on the menu (price doesn't interest me) but the ones I've tried have been quite decent.

Me! I'm flying to LAX in a couple of weeks and having already tried all the other items on the menu that I fancy (some more than once and I have the same menu -burger going to SIN next week) I have already pre-ordered the burger, although out of boredom than desire.
I'll report back.
