[NSC] What have you had for lunch?

[zefarelly]

Leftovers? LEFTOVERS! Blimey. I had a cheese and tomato sandwich. White bread.

I cook the dinner, so I engineer the quantities.

A Gorgonzola rocket and plumb tomato focaccia is for elevenses ;-)

Nice. It's just that in our house 'leftovers' is the stuff the dogs won't touch.

 

[kevo]

EITHER the third or fourth option.

I had a vegan 'ham' sandwich (quorn slices).

I'm not a vegan or even a veggie but generally try to avoid processed meat, and the sandwich options are then pretty limited.

 

[Dr Q]

Skipped it today as too busy, but just had two bags of Roysters T-Bone Steak crisps

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Garlic bread, salami and green olives.

The meal midway through the day is LUNCH. That's why its called LUNCHTIME.

Dinner / Tea are interchangeable as the evening meal in my world. (Unless you are going OUT, obviously - nobody goes 'out to tea').

I've been out for a cream tea at our local farm shop (not today). Scones jam and cream (jam first)

Lunch today was chicken soup, with a slice of wholemeal bread for dipping, packet of Baked Cheese & Onion crisps, a banana, mandarin and a pear.

And if you're at school, you have dinner at lunchtime, obviously.

Same. I'll always cook more than is needed so I've got stuff for the next day either to heat and eat or to be revamped into a new dish. Leftover cold rice becomes fried rice the next day. Extra spaghetti becomes a frittata di pasta.

Saves on bills and time.

 

[Yes Chef]

Mushroom risotto and two glasses of prosecco DAY OFF INNIT

 

[Swansman]

Rice with tofu, some soya sauce and vegetables. Thanks for asking.

A burrito. On holiday.

It was good.

 

[Eric the meek]

Sardine pate on 2 slices of multi-seed toast.

 

[Gabbafella]

BLT sandwich, scotch egg, pork pie, pepperami and a marmite cheese thing.

 

[darkwolf666]

Cheese on toast, with a light smear of Marmite

 

[Mackenzie]

Cauliflower cheese, pasta salad, grated carrot, tomatoes and cucumber, rice salad, potato salad, beetroot and coleslaw.

And a glass of orange fanta.




….the cottage pie is almost ready, I’m still a bit full…..

 

[Weststander]

I was bought a Full English Breakfast (for lunch) at Dobbie’s Garden Centre, Brighton Racecourse.

Very nice too.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

Peri peri chicken salad today.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

A can of Heinz Cream of Mushroom soup, (apologies for the advertising), and a home made egg mayonaisse sandwich on granary bread.

 

[The Clamp]

Been told by the doc to get my cholesterol down so today was a typical entry into my new regime;

Salad of..

Beetroot
Spinach
Leaves
Radish
Sweet red pepper
Grated carrot
Mixed seeds
Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
With Turkey breast and a glass of water .

I enjoy this one. Rather big lifestyle change for me though. While I exercise daily, I have always been known as a non-stop eater, so it’s like a personality change as well as a dietary one.
I’d regularly have 4 eggs every day for breakfast, huge sandwich eater, crisps, baked potatoes with egg mayo, two or three fry-ups a week, burgers, roast dinners etc. I never stopped eating.

And as a result, cholesterol has caught up with me in my forties .


Frankly I was relieved not to have diabetes. I knew I was pushing my luck so I’m really making an effort.

Cheese is now a rare treat for a couple of times a year and 1 egg a week though :-(

A quality and deeply underrated crisp.
