ARN-HEL dinner
In case you're wondering what's inside the sandwich, it was a chicken-cheese oatbread. I remember some years ago there was a plate but that was gone now...

Indeed, used to come on a tray with a Fazer chocolate and a coffee cup. They took them away for sustainability reasons of course.

Does anyone know what this unappealing vegetarian meal I just had on HEL-AGP might be? I couldn’t tell.
Maybe the yellow thing was some kind of cassava squashed together? And the brown stuff I assumed was fake meat with various vegetable bits.
The starter was pieces of tofu in an indeterminate yellowish/orange sauce mixed with quinoa. I liked the pea shoots on the top (had those in the HEL Platinum lounge on top of a very good fish and potato dish I really enjoyed). The pink sludge on the side of the starter was very off putting and I stayed away from it.
Not impressed with the dessert either. BA does much better in business class.

To be fair, this was a specially ordered vege meal. Perhaps it is the AY way of asking pax not to order special meals…
