Is the pasty actually cooked gg? It looks a bit peely-wally.

 

[Saffy]

I had a disappointing lunch of a peanut butter sandwich and an apple.

Cooked, but not reheated - past its sell-by date.
Serious stodge.
I'm amazed that anyone else likes them, but I have to buy several at once and put them in the office fridge.
I had one stolen a month or two back !

I don't think I could eat a pasty that shade of uncookedness, but each unto their own. Pasties should be at least this colour, ideally more charred.

It sounds like an ideal easy dinner to me, and healthy too.

That is unforgivably rude They usually try to be extra complimentary, maybe they've started negging

He did start by asking where I was from, to which in my bad mood (and the rain) I snarled 'here'. He pitched it really really wrong

I had two Greggs sausage rolls.

Eaten cold.

Headphones and a brisk walking pace works too

Sesame ramen with peas and chipotle Tabasco. Plus tea and ginger cake.

 

[May Kasahara]

Disappointing lunch here too Pasta (instead of the spaghetti I wanted), which I overcooked due to making two separate lunches for my moany demanding offspring. Had the pasta with green pesto, lime pickle and cheese (instead of the tomatoey sauce I wanted) because it was quick and convenient, but the lime pickle had gone stale and I couldn't eat it. Fucked the whole lot straight in the bin

 

[Rebelda]

Chinese leftovers. Beef with ginger and spring onion. Rice vermicelli noodles. A crunchy oat bar and a tangerine. Coffee.

 

[May Kasahara]

That sounds much more satisfying Rebelda

Just remembered I had a rubbish apple as well It looked crunchy, but it wasn't.

 

[iona]

Piece of caramel sesame turrón. Loads of lush chestnut mushrooms fried with garlic & thyme then salad sprouts and some very ripe gorgonzola chucked in at the end to wilt/melt (phwoooar ), rye bread with houmous and sliced tomato, cucumber. Cup of tea.

[neonwilderness]

Cheese, pickle and slow roasted tomato baguette, sweet chilli crisps, orange juice and a Marathon

 

[colacubes]

Bacon and brie focaccia from Pret. Which fell apart in my hands and went down the front of my new dress. Which is hand wash only.

 

[fishfinger]

Buttered Staffordshire oatcakes.

betrayed by your lunch

I had chicken, black bean and tomato soup with loads of paprika and homemade chicken stock. Tangerine, oat bar and mint tea. And a really nice apple on my morning break this time

 

[May Kasahara]

Too much lunch betrayal on the thread this week

Mine was much better today: chopped salad (lettuce, cabbage, cucumber, pear, spring onion, parsley, with a lemony vinaigrette), roast veg and leftover roast chicken. Plus a KitKat

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Buttered Staffordshire oatcakes.

Given that those are apparently floppy isn't it just buttered pancakes?

I've never tried buttered proper oatcakes but now I want to have buttered digestives. Used to love sandwiching those together with loads of cold butter when I was a kid.

They are similar but different to regular pancakes. I buttered them and then rolled them up like Swiss rolls.
I had some cheese Scottish oatcakes for breakfast today (not buttered or rolled ).

 

[sojourner]

Beanz on toast. Can't wait, am starving!

 

[farmerbarleymow]

One of those fruit/nut slurry protein bar things with caffeine in it. Pack of seedy oatcakes and water.

Beanz on toast. Can't wait, am starving!

Not had beans on toast for ages - despite having about a dozen tins of the stuff sat there. Will have some this week.

 

[neonwilderness]

Falafel with potato and chickpea dhal, salad, beetroot and a boiled egg. Plus sweet chilli crisps and a mango smoothie.

 

[May Kasahara]

Brie and grape sandwich, S+v crisps, fizzy water. M&S garage special

 

[Rebelda]

I had my Wednesday falafel for breakfast so lunch was tuna, pasta and salad all mixed up with fresh chilli, oil, vinegar and salt.
