Funny. I clicked the link to look at this forum, normally it takes me to the most recent post but for some reason it took me back to the first page. I didn't notice and was looking at reports of delicious food and some lovely photos, and I'm thinking "hang on a minute, how come they got all that nice stuff and I got served absolute trash on my flight last weekend". And then I noticed the date. If you look at the photos at the start of this thread and the recent ones there's honestly no comparison.
Ill be pleasantly surprised if the much-awaited catering enhancements in 6 months looks anything close to what there was.

Interested to see the content of a J KSML as I may go that way unless they improve the current J offering by August. My recent J to/from JFK food was simply terrible.

In the meantime, over at Virgin, it's a story of true improvements on the food front.
Makes you want to weep....

That's just genius. Right up there with 'Enjoy your Menu'. It could be that there are people at BA's catering who aren't British. Perhaps they're Spanish and think that all Brits enjoy the sort of food served in the 'Red Lion Pub' in Magaluf. Or maybe the target audience really is the 'bucket and spade' trade now - easily pleased with pub grub washed down with plenty of Bailey's.

Also, my better half particularly enjoys Baileys, but then she's also known to partake of cask strength spirits costing hundreds per bottle. \_(ツ)_/
We are yet to go to Magaluf. :P

And a little disappointing to see (especially from a British airline) an absence of selection where tea is concerned. It’s just ‘Tea’.
C’mon BA …… you can do better than that …… surely … ??
My last menu from Oman Air (a non-British airline) listed a varied selection of seven interesting teas.

Butter only filled from the top with over half the container empty. It reminds me of those deceiving products that look full but are not. How did you even fill the container like this?! Was it a machine issue or a deliberate enhancement?!
