Had no intention of making it a sandwich, but requested some mustard (another of the burger ‘elements’! ) and added a bit of the ruby cole slaw on the side (i object to mayonnaise in slaws but had enough fish to fry already!) and it was a very nice plate!

It's so they can say it's the dish's name rather than it having to contain macaroni. At some point, they'll swap out the cheese.

About a week ago, I received my CCR mac and cheese (penne) but it was ice cold, so she brought a second one within minutes and it was elbow pasta.

I'm not trying to start a EK v BA argument, but even at outstations like MAN, EK provide a fantastic selection of hot and cold food in their lounges (far better than the on-board food IME). There were about 10 hot item choices on Saturday. The Thai Chicken curry was lovely, and that was after a really fresh prawn salad starter.
If BA are going to do Mac and Cheese, at least get it right... It's not a hard dish!
