From looking at the article that Tobias-UK posted it seems as if only First Class get a hot meal (one of the images looked like a curry with rice). Is that the case, with all other classes on long-haul flights getting cold food?

This is a little off topic but totally relevant to my needs in terms of GF food. Does anyone know when M&S T5 is due to reopen?

Covid-19 : changes to on-board meal / food / beverage service
So yes, it's somewhere like (hypothetically) Denver that is the cut off - the previous hot pizza / toastie / hot burrito box, which was the previous second meal option, is being served to all passengers on these longer flights. I'm guessing the key here is the word "box" since that seems to make all the difference, though I haven't worked out why yet.

As a Coeliac I always have to rely on the special meals provided on long haul. Even when the lounges were open and running at full tilt they couldn't provide a gluten free offering (apart from crisps spirits and wine). Can't rely on picking any up at the airport and it doesn't travel well if you bring your own when connecting to long haul. Medical food requirements aren't a choice,

I am scheduled on some CE flights next week, so I could order a special meal on one of them and see what happens. My chances, I suspect, could be higher if I go for the easiest one, which would be vegetarian, to maximise the chance of it happening. KSML is, I think, going to be a stretch.

Quantities look pretty mean for long haul
Can not the box be bigger?

I'm afraid that if that's "it" then, sorry, that's pathetic for a long haul meal (regardless of the cabin)

If LH can offer the full meal experience in F, so can BA. This is nonsense.

So i have maybe a naive question, but hopefully, someone here is willing to answer. If i can go in a restaurant right now, sit down, have a normal meal, served and cooked by people, have some alcohol, all in normal plates, glasses and metal cutlery, why does then BA have to serve cold food in single-use plastic containers?
Whatever happened to BA's recent plastic pledge?

I do think the portions could be larger but oh well. Hopefully this will only be for the rest of this year and then we will be back to a more substantial offering.
Apart from alcohol and water, will soft drinks be loaded in Club Europe?
