Here's the burger. Your assumption is wrong (IMO). It's my preferred F meal, always tastes good and doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is


The burger. With plenty of LPGS 🤪

Thanks for the pics. Very helpful. The family order is 2 x steaks, a burger and the fish.

Looking forward to our YVR trip in a couple of weeks. The flight is long enough to fully appreciate the F experience whilst not being too long that boredom sets in.

Surely the Poached baby pear should be a dessert rather than a starter.

I have this menu for LHR-BOS in August.

I’m tempted to try the chicken burger to avoid another hockey puck steak.

I had the lamb shank back in March. It was one of the very best things I've ever had to eat on an airplane.

As do we on BA177 (LHR-JFK) in 3 weeks-ish. Nothing really jumps out at me, was looking forward to to requesting a medium-rare steak, but will probably go for the sole.
