Yesterday’s CW meal service on a Ł6k return ticket. Comments please. I’m speechless.

And what the hell do they think they're doing putting spinach in a 'full breakfast' lineup??

I made the decision, some years ago, NEVER to fly BA to a destination that can be reached via QR. The comparison between the Ł5 meal deal (probably reduced with a yellow sticky label to 99p as it was close to its use-by) that was served to you in BA CW and the food (and other) service on QR DOH/LHR (on any QR aircraft) is stark

I had this misery a fortnight ago. Luckily I’d flown in from HKT on QR and was well fed. It was appalling, the ciabatta was rock hard as was the contents. No dressing on the salad also. Thoroughly miserable. Fortunately I was bumped to 1A so left it, made the bed up and slept, other than a tea for breakfast. You are bonkers to spend Ł6k on BA business when there’s such better alternatives

Why the heck would someone choose BA over QR on a route like that??? Sorry, this is from somebody who has boycotted BA (but not CJ) for 6 years now, so I don't usually post here.

. But I agree it's not really a hard choice. Genuinely amazed that BA thinks this is a competitive service level - is any other mainstream LH business class doing one tray meals?

For context, this is a flight that departs at 00:45 hrs. So breakfast is the main meal on this short overnight service.
It certainly looks undercooked.
