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

Pud, melon and the mini-salad with those red crunchy seeds (pomegranate?) were all nice. Crew said 'just cut through the string' to open it. A BA knife did not work so I improvised with my new implants (teeth...) Maybe Do&Co sold this as an passenger entertainment food experience?

A very odd meal for a breakfast service. Spongthrush was this a ‘special meal’ or one of the regular meal options?

It was one of two regular meal options offered in Club, sorry, can't recall the alternative. Crew said it was new and thought it slightly odd.

Come back ham and cheese croissant; all is forgiven.

Club Europe catering

Why sort of meal should I expect in Club Europe on an 8.45 am departure from LHR to Funchal?

Thanks

that was my assumption, but is it a decent breakfast or just some scraps?

There's a whole thread on the subject, including changes that have happened in the last couple of days, here.

Possibly a squashed warm croissant.

Eat and drink well in the lounge so that the onboard offering does not leave you hungry! You should get a decent tray with a choice of hot breakfasts rather than the squashed croissant.

If you're really unlucky, an onion bhaji.

As catering is now back to normal, on a Band 4 route such as FNC it will be a choice of two hot options or a continental breakfast, with fruit and yogurt / Bircher muesli, and a selection of warm pastries.

Band 2 KSML lunch yesterday: hot-smoked salmon starter, chicken breast with couscous salad main, some caramel mousse-type dessert. Pleasant enough (although the chicken breast was rather dry). The downside of moving back to 'normal' catering is that we are back to cold salads rather than hot meals at lunchtime on band 2.

The choice this afternoon on the EDI to LHR was a poke bowl (described as Asian vegetarian) and a roast beef and potatoe salad plate. I had the poke and it was absolutely delicious! It had a soy/sesame dressing and a wasabi cream but the whole thing was yummy. I would definitely have it again and it was much improved on the stuff the have been serving!
