Lunch should have its own thread

Pine nut falafels? Where from please?

I keep packets of these (well not necessarily this flavour, there are all sorts) in the fridge pretty much all the time because they're such an easy lunch.

What's a wally??

A gherkin.
 
Waitrose also do nice spinach falafel. They used to do really nice sweet potato ones as well, until they changed the recipe to produce dry, doughy balls of crap with fucking CURRANTS in them.

I've only had the plain ones before, not easy to find round my way.

I keep emergency falafels in the freezer usually :thumbs:

Waitrose own falafels usually have dairy in them. Not sure why but they do.
 
I don't think so. Chip shop wallies are much bigger than the ones you might buy yourself in a jar, but they're essentially the same thing. I'd call both a wally.

I wouldn't call a cornichon a wally though. Because they're well 'ard :eek:

In any case, it worked to explain to a dullard like me with no prior awareness of all this nuance of pickled cucumbers what a wally was. Is?
 
Texture's not far off the great food ones ime. Cauldron are like sawdust though.

I only do online shops about 3/4 times a year, and then it's sainsburys or tesco.

Chip shop wallies are exactly the same as picked cucumbers that you can buy in many supermarkets. The best ones IMO are Polish. Gherkins are small bitter salty goblins' cocks. And I agree with you about the cornichons.

Oh eurgh yeah, I like to pretend those awful things don't exist :mad: also, sweet dill pickles. Yuck.
 
This is brunch as I normally have two meals a day when I'm not working.
Watercress, spinach, rocket, alfalfa,cherry tomatoes with ume plum seasoning, 3 soft boiled eggs, some chopped sautéed bacon, white rice and pepper and mayonnaise.
 
I missed the butty woman due to a conference call :mad:
So ended up in the canteen....How I'm supposed to work this afternoon God knows!
I had a massive slab/piece of Toad in the hole, it took up the full plate, carrots, cauli and green beans carefully thrown in the centre and everything covered in the thickest, onioniest(?) gravy I've ever had....it was so tasty, I was that impressed I had coconut sponge with pink custard for afters!... it was like being back at school.
I'll be alright this afternoon, as long as nobody tries to move me! :D
All that for £5.50....bargain!

Yesterday's lunch was fantastic - a salad made of goat's cheese, spicy beetroot, pickled walnuts, red pepper, cucumber, lettuce and rocket, plus a big dollop of white bean dip on the side. It was something that turned out to be about ten times more delicious than I was expecting.

I've got this again, but minus the beetroot. Hope it doesn't kill the deliciousness.
 
*dreams of pink custard*

Toast with Tartex, garlicky chilli sauce and lettuce. Plus loads of Tartex straight from the tube, obvs. Another raid on secret chocolates. I'm going to have to leave a note thanking him, I think.
