Which BA meal choice for SQ-style food?

[cgichard]

I'm booked to fly MEL-LHR in May, with SQ to SIN and then switching to BA to ensure early morning connection at LHR T5 with an onward European flight. All in Y.

I usually fly only SQ and like their food choices, even in Y, as there is always a spicy option. I have distant memories of disliking BA food, and now that I am semi-vegetarian (chicken, fish and eggs included) I think my best bet for more spicy food may be one of BA's special meals. What would you suggest? Maybe the Hindu option? Any reports on that?

The food is barely edible in J so I wouldn't expect much in whY...

Gotta agree, I've never been WOW'd by a BA selection in J. I've got the joy of flying them in May again, but at least they will be better than AA!

I suggest bringing your own spice/Tabasco/chilli if you want a spicy Y meal on BA.....

Is the food on BA F much better than BA J?

Nice idea but won't sauces be banned as liquids?

This site British Airways - Reviews - inflight food - airline meals pictures was useful, but the two chicken 'curries' shown in the Y section looked somewhat dire. Unfortunately it doesn't cover special meals so I'm still left guessing about the Hindu option

Not if they're <100ml.

How much chilli sauce do you need?

;-)

The thread title is about as close as you are going to get to being the perfect example of an Oxymoron, I could not think of two more opposite styles of catering in general. Given your stated preferences I think there is one option:

Asian vegetarian : Does not contain fish, shellfish, meat, poultry or eggs. It is a meatless meal and spicy in content.

Keep in mind that special meals negate any chance of an upgrade!

BA Y isn't known for its food... well, not in a nice way
