The menu spells it “beef bourguignonne”.
Most people say bourguignon.
Which is correct?

long-haul only?
...the airline has also launched a centenary edition afternoon tea including a scone, jam and clotted cream for a traditional cream tea experience in the air.
In a world first, Edinburgh based gin distillers, Pickering’s, have created a gin that has been specifically developed to be enjoyed at altitude. The 10-botanical blend is available on all short haul flights and through the High Life shop as part of a trio pack. Customers will also be able to enjoy an English white wine straight from the Kent countryside as Chapel Down’s 2018 Bacchus is added to the inflight menu. The wine has been bottled exclusively for British Airways

I wonder how many people in economy will be willing to pay for afternoon tea!
They could sell the spares from the front too to boost funds for Willie's bonus.

AVML on BA890 LHR–SOF this past Saturday:
I usually pick the AVML for breakfast flights but not being a fan of cauliflower, the change to having so much of it was rather disappointing. The channa masala was also a bit of disappointed as less flavourful than before. And, as always, the chapati was a big soggy having been in the sauce.

Macaroni cheese was not bad! Although I think I prefer the old desserts to these pots...

I worked for a company where our chairman had some involvement with Chapel Down and indeed I believe his sparkling wine was served by BA First for a time. But we were given a mixed dozen as a Christmas gift for a couple of years when Chapel Down was first starting. I remember the Bacchus then as fairly ordinary. And none of the other wines of those early vintages seemed to me anything other than passable. I'm sure the later vintages have improved and we were probably just used as a tax write off for those early days when nobody wanted to try English wine!
