So you were checked by Tiny, Nanciie? Not personally, but he did fondle my suitcase once. Found my wine on a trip back from Texas, but he let me keep it. Apparently, Texas wine was not his thing. (for the record, all three bottles were excellent.) They sure were. After first bottle 2 others taste like $100000 stuff!

He had a choice of some vegetables and grilled chicken. Chicken came with salad and greens. Drinks were unlimited. He said the lady was sitting next to him drunk up a whole bottle of wine. DH got 4 double shots of vodka and stew was asking if he need more. I am kind of mad about food. Small piece of chicken and no other choice of meat? So now we know about Delta.

Small portions are typical and I wouldn't expect any other airline to be much more generous. The steep price you pay for Business or First Class sure won't be made up by the cost of food or drink served to you. It's having a bigger seat, more legroom, (sometimes) priority TSA lines, (sometimes) Executive Lounge Access.
My cynical view is that it's a surcharge to bring you to the level of comfort and service they had before de-regulation. Of course, if the plane lands late, you get there at the same time as the people in Coach.
I once got stuck overnight at Heathrow on my way to Bangalore. Because the rules are more stringent in the EU, they put us up in a decent hotel with a very nice indoor pool (I always bring my swimsuit!) and a wonderful dinner buffet that included plenty of Indian foods. I was in Business Class AND I had Elite status with AA (which was in the same alliance as BA and my flight was on BA).
As we were all hanging out very early the next AM waiting for the bus back to LHR, a couple of people got into a taxi and someone joked, "those people must be in Business Class". I told him that Business Class people got the same treatment he got! They did put up a few people in the Hilton right at Heathrow, but I don't know what you had to do to get that.
