Menu in WT Gatwick to Orlando
we are traveling in a couple of weeks to Orlando and I’m trying to find out the menu options in WT. has anyone flown this route recently that can help?
(my daughter has a tree-nut allergy, so trying to find out if the chicken curry, which I believe contains cashews is a common menu item on this route. We’ve taken all usual precautions, arranged pre-board etc etc and advised of allergy. Actually bringing food for her but would like to know if everyone on the cabin could be eating cashews)
thank you in advance 😊

Welcome to Flyertalk and welcome to the BA Forum benzie31. It's good to see you here, and I hope you have a good trip to Florida for a bit of a cool down!
I don't know about the menus but procedurely BA will ask passengers not to eat tree nut products, and then it's frankly a case of hoping for the best. They will also ask about epi-pens - who has them and who can use them. It's not just the curry, I would imagine other products could be on the radar here. It's probably not realistic to stop the main meal service for everyone since there are only usually 2 choices and they don't load both to 100%.

I don't know if this will help or not, but we flew LGW-FLL today, a 9am departure, and the choices were cauliflower mac & cheese or chicken with winter vegetables (a sort of chicken casserole with mash). The starter was some sort of rice/quinoa 'salad' with edemame beans, and dessert was a chocolate & sea salt 'pot' (mousse without the air - I've watched enough masterchef to know what that's called, but the name escapes me!).

Tree nuts contain 1 nut in the shell and grow on trees like walnuts, almonds and cashew nuts.... compared to peanuts which grow underground and contain several nuts in a pod.
