It should be available on all flights, both long haul and short haul.

New tapas is worse now. The cheese is spreadable.

Any idea when or even if they will be launching Christmas sandwiches? I know M&S and a few other places have already started stocking them in store.

Have a look at post 5, these seem to be already shown on the menu.

I had the box-of-cakes ("Festive treat") and it was genuinely good. Each of the cakes was a nice bit of cake, fresh, flavourful, fruity - just want you want in some cake. Sufficient brandy butter was provided to accompany each piece quite generously. I would eat that again, possibly if I wasn't even hungry. I honestly didn't mind paying for it. It's the best cakey thing I've eaten on a short haul flight for years (includes Club catering).

For the peanut gallery, it is clear in the description it doesn't come with a drink and you can order one.

Flight back from Nice yesterday a passenger across the aisle ordered one of these. 10 minutes later a small pie in a bag was delivered - he took one bite and pressed the call button. Crew refunded the purchase and handed him two bottles of CE champagne. Asked him what the problem was (a) cold (b) much smaller than expected.

Side note he was in 9B, second ET row, and the Tapas his partner ordered was the last one!
