Regarding the Tasting Menu on the A380, would it be bad form to pre-order something from the menu, only to change to the Tasting Menu once I've had sight of it onboard? I wouldn't want to waste food, but at the same time I can't see what's on the Tasting Menu so can't decide whether or not I want it...
(Also, am I correct in thinking the 15:00 LHR > SFO (BA287) involves a second meal service that isn't afternoon tea now, or am I misinformed?)

Rosemary is extremely pungent, and I find it is being put in all manner of dishes in the UK at the moment. It does not belong in many of them - it completely overpowers other, delicate flavors.

I can't imagine that BA won't way overcook the veal. I'm surprised that there are two fish dishes and no pasta.

so indeed I'd expect to be last on the pecking order should I pre order something and then want to swap for something else.
