As a native French speaker, you can imagine my pain as French culinary terms are being misused once again. Sadly, there is no end to this. I still shiver every time a Yankee call their main course an "Entrée"

No definitely not a mouse! I think a mouse might have more flavour but they would probably serve it as a starter, not a dessert.

Hilarious. What's even more hilarious is that anyone would expect something listed on an airline menu, in any class, to bear anything more than a superficial resemblance to what you are served.
If your standard of comparison is McDonald's, then airline food will not disappoint you. If your standard is Michelin starred, then airline food will always disappoint you. No doubt if they served that disgusting looking ??? to the entire planeload of passengers, there would be a few who pronounced it 'the best Chocolate Creme Brulee they had ever tasted.'

That's not as bad as the cheese 'brulee' being served in Club World as a starter. There is no such as cheese brulee. It is more like a cheese souffle. The person that writes the rubbish on BA's menu needs to be taught what the correct culinary terms are rather than just making stuff up to make it sound fancy!

Over on the Group Boarding 2018 thread, a poster who had complained to BA reproduces their response, which included the bizarre phrase “Domestic flights are quite small”. Struck me as more like nursery school talk.

Being old school and despite the extortionate postal cost courtesy of Correo Argentino I recently used pen and paper to get in touch with BAEC Customer Services in Uxbridge.. Ten days after the letter was posted my inquiry was resolved to my satisfaction. That's the problem nowadays....noone has any patience.

I sat behind Mr Ramsay in F a couple of years ago when he was entering the Ironman in Hawaii. He ate bacon sandwiches, cheese plate and many, many cups of coffee - the athlete's perfect diet! I wasn't surprised to hear he had to pull out of the race half way through!
