It never was which gave rise to a hot debate on the origins of what adorned the tomato.

Muslim meal loading
So I ordered a Muslim meal on my CW to west coast today, basically just to change up from the regular options and hoping for a spicy curry or Briyani or something.
Anyhoo, the CSD came to me and confirmed my special meal was loaded. Great.
However, later, When served the meal, the crew member mentioned that the Muslim meal today is just one of the normal options (the Lamb shank) and served the complete normal tray with the normal cheese, dessert, etc.
Is this normal? Just curious. Doesn’t really impact me either way but was surprising!

If you want a more spicy type of meal you need to order the Hindu or Asian Vegetarian meal options.

MCO-LGW last night. The beef was ok and apparently the veggie pasta was lovely. Mrs BF enjoys all of her CW meals and I’m wondering whether her lack of travel weariness plays a part?!

Woe betide anyone with a dislike (or worse) for cheese on that flight!

Is there a confirmed date yet for the return to normal service (not having everything platted on one tray)?

I got the fish pie this time. It was actually quite good. The cheese plate, however, is really weak. It’s like a lame AA domestic cheese selection. BA could certainly do better.
Also, the butter façade thing has to be intentional - every single butter dish is the same way. So funny.
And here was the pre-arrival avocado and ricotta on rye, which was not good.

Agree - why do we have to have cheese with everything! MrsBB changed to low lactose after a dreadful chick pea meal in CW on our trip to Inverness last July and got an excellent cheese and chocolate free chicken meal and dessert on our trip to IBZ earlier this week. More of the same for normal meals would be welcome..
