'Bland meal' on BA

I might still be traumatized by the gentleman in this post, which is why I dreamed about a bland meal last night.

I was once served one on a BA flight in CE (LHR/AMS, if I remember rightly). By which I mean it was a special meal, actually labelled 'bland meal'.

It was a mistakenly loaded meal, and the CC thought it was very funny, as did I.

Do 'bland meals' still exist on BA? What were/are they?

Likely to be non-spicy - I've seen this in India and I think Malaysia

It lived up to its name: a zero-seasoned chicken breast on a bed of white rice. Once I'd pillaged all the salt and pepper sachets in the cabin, it was quite tasty.

However any of the other medical meals would fit into that category, LCML/LSML/LFML

I haven’t seen a Bland Meal in a long time. Believe this is a GFML just poorly labelled?

I believe it was meant to be a GFML, but I remember the GF chicken came with a ginger dressing back then; more often than not it was a prawn (or crayfish?) salad. This photo was from quite a few years ago, though. Maybe that code can date it for those in the know.

Delta’s diabetic meal is pretty bland. Trust me.

The Bland Meal was apparently removed in 2014. See the first post in this thread:
