I traveled on BA107 to Dubai on Sunday on a full WT+ flight and the menu was the same as the one posted with exception of the beef (1st option) instead it was an Arabic lamb dish. So the menu consisted of lamb, Guinea fowl and a vegetarian option, which isn't ideal I would say as a lot of customers won't eat either lamb or Guinea fowl. Not that it mattered, by the time I was served there was nothing left, so had to wait till club was finished and got something from there instead. The guy next to me had to have the vegetarian as nothing else was left, and I was going to have fowl, but as he was putting it on my tray, the CC from the other side came over and said she had just promised someone else the fowl and he was prioritized over me. I think the reason behind not having enough is that in one of the rows there was a family consisting of two toddlers, therefore would have had kids meals loaded, however one of the parent's parents were in WT and the grandfather had swapped seats for part of the flight with the granddaughter and this happened to be when dinner was being served and he got a Guinea fowl. Very disappointed as the CW meal was very poor (had the choice of lamb or sea trout and went with the lamb).
In contract, the outbound flight to London on the 1st of Feb (last day of old meal service) was the best main course I have ever had a plane (flown around 15 first sectors with BA, 50+ CW sectors and probably 10 other J class flights). It was a beef fillet and cooked to perfection, opposed to the usual overcooked and dry efforts.

I think this thread does show how difficult it can be to please everyone.
Although tomato and mozzarella isn't the most imaginative, with good ingredients and a decent dressing I'd much prefer that to the coleslaw variations and Ilike the suggestion of a cheese or fruit plate.

the new second meal on east coast flights ie Toronto, is half a sandwich and a candy bar plus teas and coffee. Certainly an improvement and edible

sadly, I am 99.999999995 sure (but "can I help you" is such an oracle on such matters that I'm now in doubt!!) that it was a half a sandwich with thickish bread. Can someone put us out of our misery for accuracy sake though it's academic given it's gone anyway to be replaced by carb hell aka pizza gate

This is very encouraging. Who needs fancy meals if basic meals can be prepared well with good ingredients in an attractive way.

Sorry if it's already been posted but I did a search and could not find anything.
Does anyone have any details or pics of the new amenity kits?
Thanks
