For decades the national dish has been a staple meal on the national carrier.
But now British Airways has taken beef off the menu for economy passengers amid concerns about its "religious restrictions".
The airline has instead switched to a fish pie or chicken dish option for the so-called "cattle class" passengers.
BA's second-biggest long-haul market is to India, where the majority Hindu population do not eat beef because of their beliefs.
Hindus have a great deal of respect for British culture and are well integrated into the British way of life, so it's good to see evidence of how they are literally flying the British flag by choosing British Airways.
"That said, Hindus are tolerant of the beliefs of others and do not expect everyone to stop eating a food because they do not eat it."
