Does anyone have any comments/experiences with these choices?

Thanks in advance!
I have this menu for a flight to EWR in 2 weeks’ time. I’m inclined to try the ox cheek - anyone tried this yet?

Dessert

Sadly, none of these mains sound all that good to me. My last BA fillet was shoe leather, so I won't be going for that. Fish likewise tends to be dry and overcooked. I guess it's balti for me, but I'd prefer it to have some chicken or lamb in it...
I'm pleasantly reassured by this menu. Most of the menus I've seen lately have had a lot of dishes with nuts and crustaceans, both of which I'm allergic to. I could eat most of this without dying mid-air

I'm flying to NRT next week and I've tried a few times to pre-select in MMB - but it's saying there is technical issue with the service which means pre-selection not available. Is this an isolated problem or anyone encountering it as a wider issue?

Confirmed that our menu for March 10th is exactly the same. Looking forward to hearing any recomendations.
BTW - A quick question to frequent F flyers - is it possible to switch the veg components - e.g. take the fish, but with the beef side dishes?
