Lunch should have its own thread

It was REALLY GOOD! I would definitely eat it again

Haha. Urgh though, grains in yoghurt?? The dirty bastards

Hooray!!

Ooh I like a grain. They clean out your festering innards, as I tell my son.

That sounds like Onken (think that's the name) yogurts - pretty sure it had grains in it, and they were a bit soggy and chewy. Nice.

Exactly like those! But cheap.

It's like eating loads of mini brillo pads.

I rarely buy yogurt nowadays but on a whim I bought some black cherry yogurt. I've just checked and sadly it is grain-free.

 

[sojourner]

Good for you and keeps you regular.

Mate, I have ground flaxseed every day and Branflakes every other day. I have no real need for extra roughage

I always remember overhearing a conversation in Holland & Barrett when I was a teenager. A woman was asking the shop staff for advice on being constipated - it turned out she was eating so much fibre it had the opposite effect and bunged her right up. So I suppose there is a limit on how much roughage you should eat.

I have no idea why I remember a random conversation from the late 1980s about a stranger's arse.

It's the best flavour though. We used to have it at school with biscuits. Yum.

I'm not actually a fan of it - I picked it up because it was purple and thought it was a different flavour. Raspberry yogurt is probably my favourite, but I do like lemon curd yogurt.

Some cheese, olives salami, tortilla chips and salsa.

Because it was a surprising consequence, no doubt!

Spinach, split pea and nutmeg soup, with chia and oat crispbreads to dunk. The soup is OK - I was a bit suspicious of the nutmeg.

I would be suspicious of the nutmeg too. Sounds like a Worrall Thompson kind of added piece-of-shit ingredient, adding fuck all to the overall flavour.

On the very odd occasion we had yoghurt as kids, I always had the black cherry one. Mmmm.

Getting some insight now into the cherry Activia obsession

It was OK surprisingly. Couldn't taste the nutmeg at all - thankfully, as that would have ruined it. The soup looked like pond scum though.

Demae ramen noodles, with added petit pois.

An apricot Activia!

 

[fishfinger]

Fish, chips and mushy peas.

You've changed, man

I had a bean burger squashed into a pitta with avocado. And my fifth coffee of the day

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Multiseed flatbread with cheese, 40g of pumpkin seeds.

 

[sojourner]

You've changed, man

I know, it's like some sort of mid-bio-live crisis

And my fifth coffee of the day

Fucking hell, how are you not pissing for Britain?

I hope you're building up to something a bit more wild

Fucking hell, how are you not pissing for Britain?

Dunno! Massively dehydrated all the time from only drinking coffee?

 

[sojourner]

More wild? MORE wild than trying different flavours?! There's only a gnat's pubic hair between this and a meth habit!

Jesus. Actually, pretty sure coffee didn't used to make me piss as much as it does now. I used to drink it all day when I was younger. Now I'm pissing all friggin morning after just two cups.

The other day we saw a woman (who my kids SWORE was Theresa May) driving down the road WHILE EATING A YOGHURT. With a spoon! That was the kind of thing I was thinking. Maybe start with cherry though and build up slowly.

I had a falafel wrap!!! I didn't even realise it was Falafel Wednesday until I opened this thread. It was OUT so it wasn't that good though

And a very strong coffee from a rather attractive man who managed to be attractive even in his silly catering hat

 

[fishfinger]

Ham and cheese butty and a creme egg.

 

[iona]

Beef stew and black kale

 

[equationgirl]

Chicken noodle soup with peas and ginger.

Don't get excited, I often have that for lunch when I'm at home.

 

[equationgirl]

No yoghurt though.
