The quality has edged upwards since Do&Co took over however the cheese and cracker element was removed. The pasta main course has been problematic when the pasta is doused in a butter based sauce, resulting in the pasta hardening/becoming brittle by the time the dish is served. I've had a couple of spoiled dishes when seated towards the rear of the cabin.
This looks like the same one that Etihad (IIRC) used to give out. I like it a lot! Some of the other J/F kit lip balms I've tried leave a rather unpleasant taste but this one is nice.

Only one WTP experience in that time frame. Poor. Will report back after July 8 if flown (still watching for a decent QR price to MAN/EDI/GLA in J for 2)
Two flights in Y and the food was dreadful verging on inedible. Must admit to being surprised by this as last year I flew Y on BA about 6 times and all were at least OK for a Y cabin. Indeed apart from breakfast they were better than CX on the direct HKG-MAN.
Correct me if I’m wrong here but if the main meal in WTP is deemed as sub par, it’d be equally as bad in CW as the plates are the same bar one different option?
