There's not much you can "enhance" away from one floret of cauliflower in a ramekin.

12 July in my Diary. I can’t wait to see the BA glossy marketing lipstick applied to the CW catering pig. 👩🍳

Omit the brassica and call it a gazpacho?

I very much hope whatever’s being announced will be implemented ahead of the late October dates previously cited..

July - news announced and viral social media campaign begun
August - Red Leicester cheese upgraded to Brie
September - starter ramekin brought out separately
October - roast dinner replaced with mince and potatoes
November - pudding served separately and upgraded to blancmange
December - revert back to cheese OR pudding. Merry Christmas.

Maybe reducing to 1 serving per flight - on demand. Or you must pre-order your food at least 24 hrs before or else you get no food.

Due to food prices rising, 'Chicken or Beef' now enhanced to 'Gruel or Soylent Green'?

Maybe if a pig did our catering, we’d get more generous portions?

I hope whatever BA is thinking in terms of "enhancements" has to be better than what AC and UA are serving in economy. It's absolutely disgusting.
