I’m guessing it is how and for how long they are heated.

Finally... isn't it beautiful!
I had the ubiquitous beef and it was actually pretty good. The Yorkshire pudding, served a la plastic wrap, was dreadful.

Completely agree. The lady next to me had paid a fortune for her ticket, booked last minute, and she wanted some chocolate during the flight. The cabin manager just said that there wasn't any, they had run out, and everyone was asking for chocolate. After complaining, they then went and found two tiny bars, evidently these were hidden somewhere. No snacks at all available to nibble mid-flight. It is atrocious.
All drinks after the first meal service came in plastic and the "Club Kitchen" was more like Old Mother Hubbard's Cupboard.

Does anyone have any examples of this month's fayre ex LHR in Club World? Ideally looking for south/east bound menu options (Dubai, Maldives, India, South Africa) to gage what might be presented on a Dinner/Breakfast route at the moment.

Breakfast is a full English (sausage, no bacon) or a pretty good very cheesy mushroom omelette.
Here’s both from a not great angle:

PHX-LHR, 15 Mar 22. possibly my worst BA meal ever.
Slow cooked short rib of beef, , Horseradish jus, whipped Yukon Gold potato, baby carrots, courgette.
The beef was so tough it largely defied my efforts to cut it using BA's cutlery. At it was 2230, I abandoned "Project Beef" completely at the stage shown there.
The "Cheese board" [aka bowl] of Murrray's High Plains Cheddar and Jasper Hill Bailey' Hazen Blue might have been edible if it were not for the "Lemon Chutney" [aka Lemon Curd] swilling around the bottom of the bowl which completely destroyed the taste experience.

Sorry, not sure if my sentiments will be shared or not but here goes…I’m a meat eater and looks like I will be served this menu a week on Monday, but I’m really frustrated and angry that BA is not serving British chicken! Chickens get a really bad deal in terms of animal welfare especially those abroad in the Far East. Why are BA not serving the best of British ingredients across the whole menu or at the very least focusing on the meat ingredients?! Just shouts cost cutting and ‘we don’t really care’ to me!
