Does BA still serve caviar in F?
Burned a bunch of miles so I have a number of EU-US in F coming up. last time I flew BA F was 10 years ago, Have they done away with the caviar in F?
I looked at their menus and it seems it is not mentioned so should I presume it will not be served?

Caviar was on the menu as part of a starter on UK-North American routes last month (not sure whether it's still on this month's menu).
On its own, it's only available on the DME route in First.

Didn't know about DME. Is it to, from or both, and is it good?

I believe it's both, but I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm mistaken.
It's a cute mini tin (I think 1/3rd of the size of an F caviar portion in a normal airline's F cabin) and is pleasant enough, but I'm really not a caviar enthusiast. It's meant to come with a matching vodka according to the menu (Beluga?), but both times I've asked they've been out and I've had to match with whatever random F or J vodka they had lying around.

We've got our first F on BA coming up this summer. Surprised to hear about the caviar. Balik salmon would be nice.
My wife enjoys caviar very much and got a double portion last LH flight when the cabin was half filled with kids.
caviar service on LH, CX, TG and OZ. Each served as a course.
