recall when a First glass was “relaunched” and contained 20ml less than the previous Dartington variant - estimated to save the airline £-millions over a year through smaller portioning.
it all counts.

There are no savings to be had in CE, save for water and longer-band champagne, drinks are single serve and pre-packaged.

Darling - I know that times are hard but are they now sourcing chickens in Mexico?

Seriously that looks quite good and I hope that you enjoyed it, My husband ticks me off for photographing every meal tray put in front of me.

Had the same meal travelling back from Faro last night. It was very tasty although looks like KARFA got my share of the chicken. My wife had the beef cheeks and she was also impressed. It felt very strange being on a Finnair aircraft being looked after by Finnair crew but with BA service. Finnair crew were very slick. It was the first day of their 5 day BA rotation and they did very well.

I also had the beef cheek flying back from TFS and it seemed very popular as I was in row 6 and got the last one. The beef tasted great though the portion size was a little on the small side.

BA950 to Munich yesterday. English muffin and poached eggs with spinach. This was my best BA breakfast and my eggs were also still runny 👌

So they chop up some bits of raw fish, put a dollop of rice and a few flageolets on a plate and call that a meal. I call it a starter and a meagre one at that. Dreadful - it's like Do-It-Yourself Sushi. I'm glad that you liked it Dear.

It says a lot that it is one of the tastiest meals in SH these days. Deconstructed sushi.

yep and looks awfully similar to the £4 poke bowl meal deal from Amazon Fresh, it ain’t an expensive meal by all means despite the visual appeal

I've only had the tofu version. As a die hard meat and fish eater I thought it was surprisingly absolutely delicious. I bet this version was even better.. that said I did have on a band 2 not 4 flight...

The poke bowl and the Mexican chicken are my two favourites atm. Both very tasty. I look forward to hearing some more comments when people get a chance to try them. From what I have seen so far, the comments of those who have had them seem generally positive.

If it's fresh, well-balanced and tastes good, what else do you want?
