That reminds me of the tales of Soviet era Aeroflot when the FAs allegedly did drink service one row at a time and would wait for one row to finish drinking so they could then reuse the glasses, unwashed despite being slobbered upon, for drink service for the next row.

Just wondering on which continent Nutrigrain bars are the traditional preferred choice for breakfast ……
That said, were Nutrigrains not appearing recently as a (premium) item on some CW breakfast menus …… ?

Announcement on Board :
”In Euro Traveller we will be offering you a bottle of water and a snack “
The snack on my last 8 flights has always been a small packet of Tyrell’s crisps ready salted .
I am curious to know if anyone else had anything different? Even a different flavour of crisps ?
Perhaps the word crisps is to be avoided as some nations describe them as chips ?
It would be quite nice to have some variation to add to the excitement. My better half and I could then have a discussion about which snack we might be having today . We could even rank the snacks in preference .
As an aside I did not know until today that an attractive person can be described as a snack . “That Flyertalker is a snack “ for instance .

Not sure it would have helped OP though as the only crisps option is Savoursmiths Desert Salt & Vinegar 35g costing a rather eye-watering Ł1.35.

Not always... last Saturday coming back from Valencia ( 2h flight )... We got a message from BA saying " Due to technical issue with the supplier, there would be no Speedbird Cafe on today's flight, please bring your own food and drink if you wish" or something very similar to that. After take off, the crew only mentioned the " Complimentary Water and Snack".
