Club Europe BACF Vegan breakfast
See below the vegan breakfast on BACF, LCY - IBZ.
Baked beans, hashbrowns, tomatoes and mushrooms.
No jam on the tray -unlike on the normal English Breakfast trays-.
Bread, croissants and waffles (non vegan) were offered. Very delicious, tasted better than it looks.

You usually get a bit more flavour out of those - the standard vegetarian meals tend to be very bland and boring.
AVML dinner on BA is amongst the best in the skies IMO.

I don't order AVML where the main meal is breakfast though as a curry for breakfast is personally not for me... I do wish BA would alternate this a bit as it's been exactly the same for as long as I can remember.

What is the current consensus on 'afternoon tea avoidance'? Under the old catering the advice was to order AVML in order to get something a bit more substantial than finger sandwiches, is this still the case with the latest CE offering?

We are genuinely vegetarian, so just trying to decide between VLML and AVML for a band 1 coming up.

I'm fairly sure I've gotten sandwiches recently, regardless of whether I've ordered a VLML or AVML on band 1 - so there may be no avoiding them!

Many thanks for your response. In that case I'll go for VLML in the hope of a better dessert!
