It's now possible to pre-order meals online (the video has English subs)

Eh, I wouldn't discount NRT quite yet. There's a lot to work out still considering they haven't even had the inaugural flight and won't for over 3 more months. I'm sure catering is pretty low on the list of operational issues. I'd check back in October to see if it pops up.

Breakfast offering LHR-MAD served at 12.15pm (on a delayed 10.30am departure). Quite frankly, disgusting - rubber omelette with extremely salty, acidic tomato sauce and dry, squashed croissant. I've consistently found IB breakfasts are to be avoided on European routes and they are served on all flights departing before 11am.

LHR-MAD
Sorry, I have no photos to share with you but I wanted to report that my travelling companion continues to rave on about the veal burger she enjoyed on board our recent flight to Madrid. Having a diet that denies myself from such culinary delights, I went with the pumpkin filled pasta. It was pretty good too.

Am on the second flight out to NRT, not holding my breath for this to be resolved before then. Will have a 7 year old with me, was hoping to let her have some control over what she gets offered, particularly as we're flying in from Brussels that morning (her jaws aren't strong or large enough yet to tackle an IB chapata)
If you watch the video that has been posted above - it says there that the service is available from 1 month until 48h before departure, so still some time to go...

MAD - GIG 27/06/2016
Sorry for the worse-for-wear menu.
For the main I had the cod.
The dessert wasn't the advertised mango cake, but was instead a berry cheesecake.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality - it was actually better than the food I'd had a few days before flying from SIN with Qatar.

And then the return - GIG - MAD 11/07/2016
I think I was too sleepy to take pictures of the breakfast - and it wasn't particularly memorable.
The dinner though was fine - not as good as the outbound but perfectly acceptable.
