How come everyone else gets rosemary jus and I get juniper berry jus with their turkey? hahaha!! Talk about First world problems. I'm thinking the monkfish but I hear fish on a plane is never a great idea. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Did not pre-order meal. Lobster Thermador was a menu option. I was sitting in 1K. FA started taking orders at 1A, including both middle seats. F was about 60 percent full, including both middle seats in 3 rows .By the time she got to me, she was out of Lobster Thermador: "we only had 4 and they are all gone," she said. I ordered the beef filet. It was terrible. Small, thin portion with the texture and taste of leather (filet's should be think and juicy). I also think the current wine are very poor, besides the LPGS. The only premium wine is the Bordeaux and it's not particularly distinctive . Young male FA also had an "attitude", although he accommodated every request. For example, after a big stink when I was disappointed with the tea sandwiches, he was challenged and put off by my request for a cheese plate, although he was ultimately able to get me a cheese plate w two of the three cheeses "from the pilot's cart".
Overall, one of the worst BA F flights I've had in a while, although the smoked salmon was nice.

To be honest I’m not impressed by the starters at all. I detest aubergine and the thoughts of cold roasted sweet potato doesn’t fill me with delight either
