Lunch should have its own thread

Do you have a good bagel place near you? Nearer than the famous one, I mean. If so I'm coming your way at the weekend One thing that breaks my heart about the provinces is that they think circular bread with a hole in is the same thing as a bagel

It was just a shitty hole in some round bread bagel. The brick lane beigel shops don't do flavours for some reason. Dunno about ridley rd though.

Carmelli in golders green do the best bagels. Well worth making the visit to to get rugalech as well.

 

[Thimble Queen]

More miso, cherry toms and satsumas. Plus other fruit tbc.

Edit: other fruit was a banana, a pear, five strawberries, two peaches and two carrots. I also ate two slices of ham as a treat.

 

[Roadkill]

The leftovers of last night's vegetable curry. Very nice, but decidedly hot.

 

[Cheesypoof]

It'll be hummus on brown bread, apricots, cottage cheese.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

A hot piri piri chicken wrap, black coffee.

I think the ones you can buy in Cricklewood's Hot Bagels and West Hampstead's Roni's Bakery are just as good as Carmelli's, which makes me think that they may not actually be the best, but just have the best PR and most authentic location Roni's do amazing cakes/sweets too. And they're just as moody as the staff in Carmelli...

I had a cheese sandwich.

 

[May Kasahara]

Seeded roll with hummus, cucumber and orange pepper, followed by fruit salad and yoghurt. I have eaten too much. Again

 

[sojourner]

Lidl's spicy prawn noodles and one of their choccy bars with hazelnut filling. And an apricot and a 'sweeter juicier' orangey thing that looks like a tangerine/satsuma to me.

 

[Biddlybee]

Falafels in a pitta with houmous, forgot my carrots nectarine for pud, then a mini cornetto

 

[Rebelda]

Brown pitta with falafel, red pepper hummus, sliced carrot, pickled red cabbage and bajan hps. I thought it was going to be a disgusting mashup but it turned out so good I had two

Mate. I'm trying to lose weight. I am also not drinking in the week. AT ALL. It's difficult tbh but if I stick to it then I can lose a bit of weight by my birthday. I nearly broke the other day and went to Burger King. I actually walked out in disgust. There's no way I could eat one of the meals nearly 1200 calories. That's more than I'm eating in a whole facking day.

You're doing brilliantly, gorgeous. I'm going in the opposite direction atm.

Thanks lovely. Going to have to stop drinking at weekends sooner or later cos that's when I do my eating. I could definitely eat a massive BK after a few ciders! See you in the pub on Fri for an early one?

 

[Rebelda]

Tiger bread, hummus, black olives, avocado, cherry tomato, cucumber, spring onion, red jalapeños, oil/lemon juice/bajan hps. Stuffed, but not satisfied Need something, don't know what. Coffee/fag probably. Maybe salami. Possibly biscuits.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

A pea & mint salad with goats cheese. Black coffee.

 

[Orang Utan]

4 saveloys, homemade oven chips with paprika, mayonnaise

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Streamed broccoli, brown basmati rice and lentils with a glass of water.

 

[sojourner]

I had spicy lentil soup and basmati

 

[Thimble Queen]

I had miso soup and a chicken salad which was mostly spinach, cucumber and radish. It was less than 150 calories. I also ate two carrots.

 

[May Kasahara]

I had cold roast chicken, half a pepper, some cucumber and carrot sticks and a big blob of beetroot and sesame dip. Followed by cherries/plum/peach/melon. High five, poptyping !

Had peanut butter on white toast when I got home though

healthiness ftw! I'm getting smaller. Not quickly enough tho.

 

[ringo]

Leftover macaroni cheese and a pork pie

 

[polly]

Cheese, mayo and lettuce on really fresh tiger bread... needed something else so I put hot lime pickle in. Was quite nice. But my palate is a bit rubbish.

 

[bi0boy]

Chocolate ice cream and coffee

 

[Rebelda]

Pitta with hummus, avocado, pickled red cabbage, falafel, lettuce and hps. It was so good I made another pitta with cucumber, red cabbage and lettuce because i wanted an excuse for more hps. Overdid it though and burnt my mouth tingly tingly

 

[Thimble Queen]

Plain salad leaves no dressing, a couple of pieces of ham, a banana and an orange.

I have an apple and a pear for a snack later on.

 

[sojourner]

1.5 smoked mackerel (had the rest yesterday), with a pack of roast veg couscous and some babyleaf salad.

 

[Diamond]

Vietnamese pork and rice - absolutely sublime...
