Lunch should have its own thread

Also a sausage sarnie ❤

 

[iona]

Daal, chapatti and kachumber. Cup of tea.

Sesame rye crispbreads with houmous, two boiled eggs and salad (lettuce, cucumber, tomato, peppers, carrot, radishes & beetroot). A pear and half a banana.

I quite often eat four meals a day - never sure which thread the middle two should go in

 

[polly]

Linda McCartney's country pie. SO fucking bad

 

[mrs quoad]

A butternut and red onion dish also followed.

As did two variations on banoffee (one of those was a tiny toddler friendly version, tbf) and a large Apple crumble.

To feed four

Edit: oh. That was meant to send yesterday

Leftovers were lunch today, anyhows.

I’m a bit fucking sick of aubergine kuku, tbh. We’ve catered for guests for 3 weeks running, and the first lot liked it so much that I’ve made it for the subsequent two weeks, and for a work pot luck in between. There’s 12-16 slices per, and that’s 4 kukus, = probably 56 slices of aubergine fucking omelette, with 3 eaten per lunch party and (Tbf) all but two eaten at the pot luck.

My wife has also probably eaten two. And I know of two that were binned.

That’s 42+2-9-2-2 =31 slices of aubergine omelette over 3-4 week’s. I wish that didn’t feel quite so accurate.

Stuffed pumpkin looked better in the book, tbf.



But cut ok.



Also had bacon and pumpkin soup, w/ bacon and home made croutons (some dick didn’t buy a loaf they said they wanted, so I croutoned it w/ fennel, chilli and black pepper). The soup is frankly both bland and over spiced w/o the bacon / crouton topping. With them, it’s pretty lush, tho.

I have a bucket of the stuff to get through, so this is a good thing.

 

[Siouxsie]

Roasted tomato and rosemary soup with a chunk of crusty bread. Cup of tea and 2, yes 2! Tunnock's caramel wafers.

 

[iona]

Wholewheat pasta (mix of penne & fusilli) with what was intended to be my usual spicy turkey bolognese, until I went and added some other random veg and it turned into something more like ratatouille. Turkey-touille!

Second lunch was salad - black pepper smoked mackerel, brown rice, green lentils, spinach, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, feta, avocado, mint & spring onions.

 

[Siouxsie]

Warm salad with fried chicken livers. Cup of tea. Punnet of raspberries.

 

[ringo]

Massive Abokado chicken katsu curry and rice. Coffee to stay awake for the next hour after that.

 

[moose]

Cucumber sandwiches. American guests at work didn't believe they existed. We showed 'em

 

[Hellsbells]

Already had rice cakes with peanut butter plus a banana but that was more a mid morning snack

Got a chicken leg left over from Monday's dinner (will I die...?!) plus a hard boiled egg (boiled last night - shouldn't die ) Need to buy something to go with these 2 things. Salad bowl probably. And a roll or something. Trying to cut down on bread but not succeeding. At all.

 

[May Kasahara]

Lukewarm jacket potato from the canteen at work, with cheese and coleslaw. That'll teach me to pick one from the edge of the heat lamp zone

 

[iona]

Daal, chapatti, cucumber and cherry tomatoes. Cup of tea and two dark chocolate lebkuchen.

 

[colacubes]

Scrambled egg on sourdough toast.

 

[Siouxsie]

Prawn, avocado and walnut salad. Cup of tea. Wedge of carrot cake.

 

[iona]

Smoked haddock, colcannon and peas. Blackcurrant yoghurt. Cup of tea.

 

[Rebelda]

Made a veggie stew last night for a few days' meals and have just had a portion. It kicks arse. Onions, carrots, butternut squash, red cabbage, passata, tin of chickpeas, ground cumin, smoked paprika, marigold stock powder. It's gone all thick and delicious.

I have shamelessly copycatted this and it's bubbling away now

I have shamelessly copycatted this and it's bubbling away now

I'd completely forgotten about this! It's just the kind of thing I make all the time but for some reason it came out really well.

 

[bubblesmcgrath]

Fried white pudding (crispy in the outside) squashed into a soft roll....
Followed by banoffee pie.

 

[iona]

This week's lunches are -

Butternut squash, cavolo nero, mushroom, pea & cheese risotto and some strawberry yoghurt OR chicken & veg stew, an apple and two dark chocolate lebkuchen for first lunch (whichever I don't have will be tea instead)

Sesame rye crispbreads with piri piri houmous, two boiled eggs, salad, a pear and a chocolate mousse for second lunch

 

[Siouxsie]

Mackerel and salad roll. Cup tea. Slice carrot cake.

 

[Thimble Queen]

A bowl of chickpea with salt and pepper and a glass of fizzy water. I've got a banana for pud, which I haven't managed to nom yet.

 

[Hellsbells]

M & S christmas chestnut roast wrap & a latte

 

[ringo]

Chicken escalope, cheese, ham, salad, mayo and sriracha in a massive bap

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Now delightfully meat-free

 

[miss direct]

I had lunch in the canteen at work and it was lentil soup, borek, aubergine potatoes tomatoes onions and pepper stew sort of thing, and salad. Lunch is free and it was quite nice. Companies in the UK should do the same.

 

[Thimble Queen]

I had a tin of kidney beans with chilli flakes, salt and pepper and some sparkling water, with a banana and four haribo after.

 

[colacubes]

Cheesy beans on toast with a dash of tabasco. Half a mango for pud.
