Thumbs down CW Breakfast

I know there has been lots of discussion on the new CW catering, however I only experienced the new breakfast options yesterday coming back from MIA. IMHO the full English breakast wrap is a complete abomination. What did the proper full English and separate bacon roll do to deserve their demises?

Full English from MIA? When did you get that? I can't agree about the bacon rolls, they were too crunchy for my likes by the time they got served. Good riddance as far as I am concerned.

The Bacon rolls were useful. You could do damage to someone who annoys you by knocking them out by throwing the roll at their head

I'm not that fussed about the lack of a full breakfast service on overnight East Coast flights; the focus on those services is sleep, and there's always Galleries Arrivals at T5 or the AArrivals lounge at T3 if you have time and want something more substantial.

I would love to see a better continental selection with bircher muesli in CW.

Fair enough, but surely a full cooked breakfast option isn't too much to ask for, given the supposed premium cabin and the corresponding fares being charged.
Some will want to sleep, whilst others will want to enjoy the service.

You do get a full English breakfast in F. I suppose if they gave it in CW there would be less to differentiate F.

This is the J breakfast served on AA from Miami. Not bad, fruit, biscuit, croissant, frittata, sausage and potatoes. Beats BA CW hands down in my opinion.

That’s my strategy too. A brick croissant and rubbery piece of egg on a plane never appeals.... Maximise sleep and use the arrivals lounge or simply skip breakfast, which I find can help a little with jet lag too.

Same here - a good bacon roll can be heaven but this was just dry and hard, so I'm glad they are replacing it. And indeed, there hasn't been a full breakfast in J on East coast flight (Florida included) for many years.

There is always the option of an arrivals lounges for some people (if you arrive before noon-ish). And it works for you, but not for us with connecting flight spending 30-60 mins changing terminals, getting through FCC and security and then running onto a flight where they are serving three slices of tomato and cheese for lunch.

Maybe memory fails, but last April there was at least egg, sausage and bacon.
