I mean EWR is different destination than JFK (and 789 different a/c from 777/747) so doesn't have to be the same menu but was a bit surprised that it's not.

I recently had the salmon starter, the braised beef and the cheese from this menu; they were all fine. The beef was tender and the baby onions provided a nice contrast. I'd be happy to have this again. It was a pleasant and efficient crew too... and the club larder was well-stocked (including ice cream).

i have the same mains for my LHR-SAN flight in F on Jan 7.

Curry just doesn't seem like a F dish and fish on a plane is usually not a good idea. I guess that leaves the beef. Not impressed. Where does one see the rest of the menu? MMB only seems to show me the mains.

Had this on BA15 (LHR-SIN) a few days ago, not too bad but thought the portion size was on the small side. Preferred the meal on the SIN-SYD, which had a very nice Rendang Curry and Duo of deserts.

Thank you. I'm so used to AA and having them only show the mains when making a choice. Looks like I have the same starters/ desserts as the previous poster. Crab and cheese it is then, assuming that BA have sufficient meal loading. Dinner on the first leg out of SAN will have to be a surprise.
