Numbers relate to the post number. Vegetarian means the alternative option provided as standard rather than the special meals. The pre-ordered special meals are AVML (Asia-vegetarian), CHML (children's meal), DBML (diabetic meal), GFML (gluten-free), HNML (Hindu non-vegetarian meal), KSML (Kosher meal), LCML (low-calorie meal), LFML (low-fat meal), NLML (low-lactose meal), LSML (low salt meal), MOML (Muslim meal), VGML (vegan meal), and VLML (lacto-ovo vegetarian).

There are differences between the offering in/out of LHR, LGW, and BA CityFlyer routes operated from LCY, STN, BRS, BHX, MAN, EDI, and DUB. For BA CityFlyer flights please refer to this guide created by eJetterBA CityFlyer catering guide

I agree with you. Also, are they now carrying spare meals to accommodate this kind of pickiness or would somebody else be stuck with the special meals?

There’s usually at least one person who declines.

Apologies, I missed a word! The Kosher meals arrived all FROZEN and would have been completely inedible! That's why they switched

Snap! (Excuse pun). I thought that the beef cheeks were a bit ugly, highly unphotogenic and absolutely delicious. The cheese was mature and the starter was so good that I’m trying to duplicate it at home. The Champagne was in big bottles, thank God and the gin offerings were Tanqueray and Aviator. The red Primitivo must have been aged or something as it is now quite pleasant. Pre-Covid it was Primitivo by name and Primitivo by nature.

Cognac has gone. It is not on the menu. Sadly that revoltingly sweet creamy Irish Coffee wannabes is. Never mind. You cannot win them all.

It was indeed missing on my menu in CW earlier this week. But, a request for one was successful, much like the crème de casis for my Kir Royale that wasn't on the menu. I'm not sure what the Cognac was, but it went very nicely after the tiramisu. Ah, the mysteries of the Club World bar.

Maybe they're running down the stocks so don't want to disappoint people by saying it is available when it should not be, but you might get lucky....for a while.

Cognac remains available as usual in Club World. But this thread is about Club Europe, where it is no longer loaded.

Could be, but Kir Royale has been off the menu for quite some time, and I always seem to be able to get one. I think there are other things that have been off the menu as well, but are still around.
