CE Bands and food listings
Not sure if it is me…. but I cannot seem to find the thread on what the bands are and what food is in CE. I have looked (though SWMBO might say i have only had a man look). 
There used to be one with all the bands in it and what you get in each band. Now, all I can find is people’s photos and comments on what they got, but not the actual listing of bands themselves.
Is this me or is there a glitch?
BA or bust
PS Needed for my first trip on BA in nearly two years next week! That is followed by some more SH and LH over the coming months, so I want to get back into the swing of things. AKA do I need to bring some food of my own in case the current offerings are not substantial enough!

OK, thanks KARFA. I can see what my problem was now. I was looking in the BA Forum Dashboard where clicking on the CE food picture takes you straight to the latest posts with photos. The link itself does not take you to the list of bands etc. That you have to find by going up to the top. That is what confused me.

PS Then again maybe SWMBO would have been right, it was probably a man look!

Just back from Naples which is Band 3 food.
Going out at 14.10 (in reality 15.10 due to a delay) we had the hot meal choice which was blue cheese mac’n’cheese, roast cod or a salad.
Cod
Mac’n’cheese
Coming back at 9.35 was English breakfast or butternut squash omelette. We all had the breakfast but my husband said the person in the window seat in his row had the omelette and it looked awful and the passenger only ate a few bites.

Band 2:
VIE-LHR 24 May 2022 - Breakfast (07:15 flight)
Overall it was good - but somewhat squashed into the space (maybe reflecting the general downsizing of CE space!).
LHR-VIE 24 May 2022 - 'dinner' (19:15 flight) - Coronation chicken - somewhat small, dessert was good.

Bit of confusion on the run back to EDI.
Initially told no SPML loaded so took the poke bowl. Then to be asked 1m later as I was shoving the first forkful into my mouth if I had ordered an SPML.
So no Hindu meal for me this time.
Poke bowl was nice although I reckon one large salmon would be enough to cover every sector that afternoon going by how much of it was on the plate.

Salmon poke or Goats cheese and beetroot salad on this evening's LHR-LYS.
Skeptical about the poke bowl but went for it and pretty much blown away by how fresh and tasty it was. Kind of thing I'd love as an office lunch to be honest!
Won't disagree that I think my portion was a little more generous than upthread.
One of the rare BA flights where they nailed it. Fantastic crew, around 3 rounds of drinks and extras to sneak home too. I love BA when they're like this...

How can I be more than 48 hours out and get this? Surely they could mend an oven or load properly with these lead in times. On BA2345 EDI-FLR

It’s sub-optimal but I think BA should be given a small thumbs up for letting you know in advance, particularly with the voucher being offered. Stuff happens, it’s the reaction to it that counts IMHO.

Quite a few airlines seem to be having issues with their catering suppliers in the UK, particularly for catering that would be loaded other than in London. This affected flight would have to load catering in Edinburgh as they couldn't fit enough trolleys on board to supply LCY-EDI, EDI-FLR, FLR-EDI and finally EDI-LCY. Precisely why the supply of fresh meals/sandwiches at non-London airports to planes has become so difficult I don't know. Easyjet seem not to be able to get supplies even at LGW, though BA can.

Is this only a food issue or will it impact the champagne? That's what I'm really asking about here.
