I’ve been very critical of the blatant cost-cutting approach taken by BA, with shrinking dishes and reduction in quality etc, but I fully agree with the above. The poké and the Mexican chicken are both great and I don’t think it would be reasonable to expect much more, particularly on a band 1 or 2 flight.

1/ its actually taste nice, is fresh and flavoursome - great on a band 1/2 flight - Even on a 3/4 instead of the larger meal (post CCR dining say)
2/ They are edamame not flageolets
3/ its most likely a smoked/cured salmon rather than raw

Some cold rice and a few cubes of this and that is not a real meal in my book.

I liked the beef cheeks on return from TER yesterday
Very tasty
The IFM liked my request for some red wine to go with my cheeks :-)

2. If you say so Pet - I rather wish that they were flageolets as soya beans are not among my favourite
3. Have you actually eaten it - maybe someone else did and can tell us.
Do not listen to rumours that I have homocidal tendencies violent - my hairbrush is set to stun. For now,

I suppose that's one thing you can probably eat without your dentures Dear Heart.
Now before I get ticked off again, Let me say this. I looked at this Poke Bowl or whatever it is called. Once upon a time they had a seafood option that one could order in CE. That has long bitten the dust thanks to some carnivorous beancounter (if that is not a contradiction in terms- appropriate though they may be in this context). I love fish, but I liked it cooked. I cannot eat raw shellfish of any kind as it make me sick - literally. I know that if BA were entrusted with fish it would be way overcooked but there it is. I love the Cod option but that is a meal. That poke looks like the snack given it's quantity. Sorry - anyone can have mine.
Tell me this - why is it called a Poke Bowl when it is served on a plate???

I was very critical of the BA offering late in the pandemic, however I also do like the poke bowl and Mexican chicken salad options, I had them on a longer flight where it was an option alongside two other hot dishes, and I think they are a nice complement and both very tasty, despite appearing simple.
Beef and mash or pasta on every flight gets a bit dull, and a ‘different’ cold option is nice to have!
