Panna cotta has been showing up on quite a few photos (and menus) on this thread. I'm surprised it is served as the dessert for VLML, because panna cotta by definition contains gelatin and is decidedly not vegetarian (let alone vegan), unless they make a vegetarian version that does not contain gelatin. Does anyone know if that is the case?

Let's hope they did use agar agar, at least for the VLML version. Agar agar is a good substitute for gelatin for some dishes, but it definitely changes the texture. I happen to like agar agar a lot and use it at home, but traditionalists would probably prefer the classic version which is creamier and smoother than the agar agar version.

I think MAD was always an exception. If you remember when bands came in a few years ago, MAD was band 2 but there was some suggestion that the IAG fat cats going between LHR and MAD didn't appreciate the panini, so MAD miraculously got pushed to band 3

The signature BA fry up seems to be shrinking, and for once not just the sausage. There is visible plate in the latest iteration which seems to be a new thing. Compared to 2018 there has been a reduction of two mushrooms, and the banger we all know about and bitterly lament its diminution.
