That's one way of getting a bigger cheese board if it's 'help yourself' 😂

That sounds very much like a challenge. Let’s see if BA management can rise to it 🤔

I can't damn your Faustian pact as the cause is noble, PG. Nothing less than sainthood should be awarded for saving souls from the BA vegan altar. Very funny post.

I dunno. We could go to BoB for TATL First / CW? Maybe First gets a Ł5 voucher?

I can see the press release now…..

Following significant customer feedback we are pleased to announce that our popular Buy On Board service will be rolled out to our long haul destinations.
Customers in our First Class cabin will be able to purchase from a selection prepared by Harrods and Fortnum & Mason.
For those travelling Club World your delicacies for sale will be from Waitrose.
WT+ can “look forward” to purchasing from Marks and Spencer……etc.

In recognition of our commitment to the environment, we are excited to announce that our wine will be recycled in the aircraft.

Surely, the starter will be eating the menu that they give out?

Wonder if the brain wave will be you only get a meal if you pre order. Wouldn't mind this if it meant it went back to 2019 quantity and quality.

However would mean no longer being able to get cheese and a dessert in CW.

I don’t want to be a pedant, but I think you spelled excruciating wrong!

Come on BA, pleasantly surprise me.

A whole sandwich as the second meal in economy would be nice.

Maybe load some food and drink in 1st ?
That would be novel based on last 2 flights.

And recognising that Lindt does not meet the definition of a chocolate in any civilised country.
