Lunch should have its own thread

10th wedding anniversary, so the canteen at the blacking factory can do without my custom. Instead, Atelier Joel Robuchon for a nine-course extravaganza, with matching wines for Mrs P. Then flying to Krakow for a supper heavy on dumplings and then a couple more days feasting on stodge and lard, finishing with whatever they have at the Auschwitz visitor restaurant. If there is one: it's difficult to imagine. Almost any kind of vistor facility would feel tasteless.
 
I made a soup yesterday with a load of chantenay carrots I had to use up, roasted in some ground up coriander & cumin seeds, garlic and olive oil then added to some homemade chicken stock and blitzed with some flatleaf parsley. I thought it might not be all that cos there were no onions or anything else in it, but in fact it tasted very nice and should be even better today. So that (and tomorrow and possibly even the next day too).
 
Dragged by work people to Tinseltown on St John Street. £10 for a mediocre veggie burger, a few fries and a Sprite with a huge tv playing MTV right in my face.

Crap.

We walked past St John, The Larder, The something pantry and 3 other decent looking restaurants on the way and the handful of restaurants around Smithfield Market were another minute away - most of which offered decent looking cooking at about the same price or only a little more.

Work colleagues have been lectured and informed of a new regime in 'team lunches'. Most seem very pleased/relieved, one looks murderous.........
 
Typically uninspiring.

A can of "Suma" tomato and red pepper soup with a wholemeal vegan pastie serving as croutons.
Seeing as it's autumn, I heated the soup in the microwave.

Banana for afters ...
 
There is a new Eat opened up near my work and I have never had lunch from them before. I am looking forward to testing their menu over the next couple of weeks.
 
I amalgamated two soups from the freezer (spinach and butternut squash) which I had some of yesterday and then today, also added one small baked sweet potato and the leftover pasta sauce (which had tomatoes, aubergines and peppers in) then blitzed it again with some fresh coriander....and hat a bowl of that for lunch (with two more lunches to come from the rest). It was very nice, despite the multiple ingredients. :D
