I agree. It's a disturbing trend which I see in supermarkets and other outlets. What concerns me is the amount of vegan, unhealthy junk food. On selecting ovo-lacto vegetarian from the BA choice, I don't ask for vegan "lowest common denominator' offerings.

On a different note, it's unfair to meat-eaters to have dishes deducted from the menu and replaced with purely vegetarian or vegan choices.

Sorry if already answered further up. Already aware of food situation in CW, but what is the deal with bedding right now? Are they giving the seat topping mattresses right now? Or should I stash an extra blanket next week to use as a bit of padding?

BA117 LHR - JFK CW 20th Jan.

This was the light meal of Cornish pasty. Tasty, but could've done with a sharper knife to cut the hard pastry!

This was (quite literally) thrown down on my tray table an hour before landing on the BA105 to DXB. On what planet is this a longhaul business class breakfast? The croissant (cheese and tomato) was luke warm and soggier than a slug. No other way to describe it than vile. By the way, the menu described the (25p) NutriGrain Bar as the breakfast "Starter". WTAF?

CW Mex to Lhr BA242 on 22nd January. The salmon was slightly over but it was OK. Starter was mixed salad and the dessert a white chocolate dome with passion fruit, which was nice. Left most of it and got head down for a solid 6.5 hour sleep. Breakfast was the normal eggs and bacon. I left most of the breakfast and just got a sandwich in the arrivals lounge after a quick shower. The service was simple but I was so tired I was only focused on raising the divide after safety briefing and watching an episode before off to bed

Our evening flight home from JFK - LHR was canceled and we rebooked onto the morning flight home…. So a ‘lovely’ breakfast was served…

… on the plus side it was club suite!







Then a pastrami panini was served prior to landing into LHR

I do hope you did not include your travel partners half a pastrami sandwich, half a tomato and slice of cucumber to make this look relatively substantial 😂😂😂

To be fair breakfast and sandwich don’t look that bad.
