And whose fault is that, may I ask? It certainly isn't mine. You are now

If you mean Luke Nguyen, I wasn't aware he was part of the catering

Regardless, they still provide "mild" food to their business class
clientele unless by specific request and it matters not one whit how
many passengers utilise the service. That's how Qantas handle it
according to a few catering staff and stewardesses I know and I have no
doubt in my mind that Virgin operate under similar principles.

My dear chap, it was you with your 1/4 stomach, reduced intestinal tract
and pin dick who dared to attempt such a folly as dining on even mildly
spiced fare. I'm sure your doctor warned you against such acts! Some
people never learn. They abuse their bodies over their lifetime and
wonder why they have to pay a horrible price as they near the end.
Amazing, truly amazing!
