It occurs to me, if BA are really trying to minimise contact between crew and passengers as a way to manage the risks associated with Covid-19, why are they offering any service at all to ET passengers? They previously only had BOB. Why not withdraw BOB and simply provide no service at all as this would significantly reduce crew-passenger contact.
Other LCCs don’t provide service so it doesn’t seem like there’s a legal reason why some form of service must be provided?

So, I guess my question is whether there is a reason why some level of service has to be provided or would be it acceptable for no BOB and no complimentary service to be offered? I've always assumed BOB was provided by LCCs as a way to make additional money. Is there a legal requirement for some level of service to be provided by airlines?

The same as it was pre-Covid when BOB was the offering in ET and the onboard similarity between BA and FR was closer - Tier Points, Avios, Lounge Access, different departure/arrival airports that may be more convenient to some passengers than others, different schedules that may be more convenient to some passengers than others.

And it's actually a pretty good one, so long as you're not too fussed about the bones in the fish. The fish and the eggs go well together.

Surely the more curious line of questioning is why does the menu have stewed unpitted prunes, but not toast!

I prefer poached eggs with my kippers, but each to their own

Is kippers with scrambled eggs really a thing? I saw this in GF last week and thought it sounded revolting. I was looking for my usual smoked salmon with scrambled eggs which I found is now hidden on the scrambled eggs sub-menu, which offers smoked salmon or ham hock as add-ons.
