... good quality ingredients - Gloucester Old Spot pork or the Loch Fyne fish option - do have a place. That ticks your tastes as simple and down to earth but also offers something for those looking for 'luxury'.
I can see why the OP would have been underwhelmed by the pie/2xcurry/seafood salad option.

Or Poularde de Bresse in its own juices between a couple of slices of bread. Doesn't even need to be Poilâne!

I wonder if your desire for some good simple food is actually more typical of the really regular F passenger, whereas I, as a very rare F passenger, want some food that carries with it a sense of occasion. I love a good burger, for example (I don't mean the rubbish in McD's), but I'd be rather disappointed to see one as a main course option on the F menu.

I have been to India 4 times and always stick to vegetarian food, particularly as there is always such a good variety.
