Lunch should have its own thread

[Steel Icarus]

Out with Mrs SI for our 15th wedding anniversary. Had tapas; we shared tortilla Espanola, patatas bravas, chilli nachos, and kofte kebabs. She then had caramel cheesecake and I had Belgian waffle with berry compote and white chocolate marscapone.

 

[sojourner]

I had leftover bean and cabbage soup with a hunk of seedy wholemeal bread, a peach and an apple.

 

[sojourner]

Massive slab of homebaked wholemeal seedy toast with Whole Earth crunchy peanut butter on. I've swapped from their previously-gorgeous dark roasted peanut butter. Not sure if my palate has changed or they've made it sweeter, but it tastes sickly now.

Plum and an apple. Oh and a coffee.

 

[sojourner]

Homemade egg mayo wholemeal roll with rocket. It had so much on it it looked like a Scooby Snack.

Plum and some red grapes.

A bit of a protein fest today - Chilli/Lime Beef, Teriyaki Chicken, mixed bean salad (in garlic dressing) and shredded Lettuce in French dressing

Brilliant posh pub lunch in Derbyshire. Braised baby leeks in a mustardy sauce with hazelnut crumble, chargrilled tofu marinated in lemongrass and garlic with all sorts of vegetables, cashew nuts, black bean sauce with rice, and sticky toffee pudding. Really great food.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Peas, cabbage and broccoli. Half a large bag of frazzles. Two slices of seedy sourdough.

Do they still have the really racist wrapper?

 

[sojourner]

I had freezer-foraged cabbage and cannellini bean soup.

2 apples.

Do they still have the really racist wrapper?

No they look like 8-balls now.
Look, woke as fuck!

 

[May Kasahara]

Sandwiches left over from a meeting. Boring, but free.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Do they still have the really racist wrapper?

No, it's just a black & white wrapper. Don't remember what the wrapper used to look like - something I've rarely seen since I was a kid. A mix of those, fruit salads and mini wham bars are on sale in Aldi.

Late lunch was an apple in the park

 

[sojourner]

Last 3 slices of the ancient grain sourdough, with slices of extra mature cheddar on, slathered with Damn Smokey Chilli Jam, which is very nice indeed.

A handful of black grapes and a banana.

 

[The39thStep]

Chicken rice thing .

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Two bananas. A pack of crumpets with butter.

 

[gentlegreen]

Polish pickled cabbage salad, ten year old can of mushy peas I found in my clearing out, milled flaxseed, tahini.
I made do with water today - having become aware that my wine drinking has recently been outside my comfort zone...

 

[sojourner]

Leftover fit as fuck turmeric and spinach dhal, a banana, a plum, and some black grapes.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Fish finger, potato waffle and processed cheese sandwich.

Not had fish fingers for years until recently. They're still 75p for 10 in Aldi so good to have in for lunchtimes.

My partner took the dahl I made the other night for her lunch. I was going to eat more healthy!

ten year old can of mushy peas

 

[gentlegreen]

Yes, thinking about it, colour isn't much of a guide because they use artificial colouring - but the can wasn't bulging and who knows, a good cleanout might do me some good ...

 

[sojourner]

Cheese salad wholemeal bap - extra mature cheddar, vine tomato, mixed leaves, red onion. And a dollop of my fresh batch of sauerkraut. Here's hoping this lot went as well as the first!

Banana and 2 plums.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Bits and bobs. Left over mini spuds from last night, white pudding, turkey burger and frozen veg. Hot sauce. Weird combo but went down well.

Forgot the sourkraut!

 

[Saffy]

Gregg's cheese and tomato pizza slice, a satsuma and a yum yum.

 

[sojourner]

Forgot the sourkraut!

Noooo!

Very happy to report that my second ever batch of it tastes even better than the first!

It will. There's a lot of value to giving it a good while to ferment.

 

[sojourner]

Ah no, this is a new batch, made at a different time to the first lot. I was worried I'd fucked this one up tbh cos I'd not used a weight for the first week and the top bit was a bit scummy. I removed those bits and put a weight on a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, it tastes fucking ace so I've done something right.
