What happened to the "All Day English Breakfast"

Just traveled LHR-JFK in F. The menu changed (for the worse). Among the changes were the elimnation of the English Breakfast which had been offered on all flights, irrespective of the time. Anyone know what happened?

Yes, the whole menu changed for the worse but the BAgs were unchanged.

I believe it is still on longer haul flights, but it is definitely not on US east coast runs.

I asked about it a couple of months ago, and was told that they didn't offer it any more on the shorter long haul flights, and it was suggested going to the arrivals lounge for a hot breakfast.

Sounds like Raid The Larder and All Day Breakfast went together on the east coast routes.

On LHR-IAD recently it was printed in the menu that Raid The Larder was available. I was surprised as I had seen on here it had been canned, so I asked and was told it wasnt on US East Coast runs.

NB. I don't fly enough to know whether the menus are the same for all CW flights in a given week / given day

Interesting. It wasn't there in the first week of December on IAD-LHR ...

It was available earlier this week on a LHR-SIN flight.

I can't see any real difference in the F class food offering.

The menus are structured differently, but the food is exactly the same as far as I can tell.

For me it's Bacon-roll then pasta on the way out. Bacon-roll and then a pie on the way back. All washed down with a piece of brie and a box of thingy O'Brien's chocolates.

All day breakfast has certainly not gone from the routes I have been on recently.
