Not, perhaps, entirely relevant to this Thread, but I’ve just had a phone call from AA. I had messaged them saying we couldn’t pre-order on next week’s codeshare DUB-PHL, operating as AA723/BA1580. Neither website would let us order.
What a nice American lady, who talked us through the meal options on both the outbound and the subsequent inbound AA722/BA1579.
Somehow that seems to indicate a higher level of CS than is usually reported here from BA!
(We both went for the Beef, both ways, because AA’s Beef is often edible!)

Pleased to see some basic food is on the menu for my flight in F to KUL later, this month. Does anyone know if I can request "British beef burger with Monterey jack cheese barbeque sauce coleslaw and spicy potato wedges" without the cheese? I am hoping it is simply placed on top before going in the oven! It was many years ago I last experienced burger and chips on a F trip to SFO.

Menu for LHR - BOS later this week in WTP below.
Very surprised to see only two mains to choose from - I thought there were usually three mains to choose from in WTP (inc. one veg pasta option?)

Yes, I agree that they are typically boring. Apparently people who order VLML get the same vegetarian dish as in the CW menu (I think that's what CIHY was saying in another thread). In my experience, inbound meals often include a pasta dish.

But you arent the only one who thought it was 3 (inc a veggie) ... I heard crew explain it at least 5 times on my last WTP flight "no sir ... if you havent pre ordered a vegetarian meal ... we dont have one here".

Sure the mains are uninteresting but chocolate and orange pot is the best desert on BA... Unless lemon biscuits are available.

which could mean they expected three OR that they expected one of the two to be vegetarian and were surprised it wasn’t...
