Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Just a question. Do you know the difference between shrimp and prawn ? They look very similar.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Size.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

No sir.
The difference is that shrimps are vegetarians and prawns aren't.
You can catch prawns with a baited trap but you have to catch shrimps with a net ! ;)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I didn't realize it was a rhetorical question. Either way they were delicious and the other 175 I caught are now packed in the freezer.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I know the difference and I‘m not losing any sleep over it either. The little club where I drink is right down the alley from the Ukranian Co-op and I like to hobble down there about 10.30 in the morning when they take the first load of sausage out of the smoker and bring back a hot ring of kobasa or ham sausage. One of the girls will cut it up and bring it out with some mustard for us to enjoy.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

In the same vein, since I had hotdogs for lunch and made do with a nice salad with italian dressing and some cheap rose‘ for supper I‘m tempted to skip breakfast and plow the buffet at the Hungarian Club tomorrow. Pork hocks, cutlets, perogies...mmmm I don‘t like their cabbage rolls but most people seem to. It‘s a great smorg and not really well known.

Fresh prawn cocktail sandwiches with avocado and nice mug of tea as it naffing well freezing out there.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Leftover cheese grits and three squares of swiss chocolate. It's grocery day.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Leftover roast chicken, broccoli, carrots, and a jacket spud with bacon salt :thumbup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Leftover chicken Jalfrazzi, allo naan and rice. Although that won't be for another couple of hours.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Bacon salt?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Yeah it's lovely. We went for dinner to a place called Edible on Granville Island the other week and after we paid they brought us a couple of little boxes of the stuff.

The do all kinds of flavoured salt (Bacon, Curry, Chocolate & Cinamon, and some more).

I just put olive oil around the jacket spud and rub the salt into it before shoving it into the oven for some added crispy goodness.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Its nice to catch your own lunch. :)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Did you stand under the tree when they dropped?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I haven't had my afternoon tea and cake so I'm a bit slow so you've got me on that one unless its some reference to catching? :confused:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

The lemons.



Sorry, I'm practicing my dad jokes :o

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm planning to have two very nice properish sausages, mash, peas and gravy. All of of which is going to be nervously reheated in a rather industrial looking microwave oven. :fingerscrossed:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Just came back from lunch time "spinning".

A take abagel to work with tomato and some cold meet. I then also have a banana with some yoghurt and a fruit smoothie.

This is pretty much my routine until Friday when I treat myself to a meal and pint in a local.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I am doing a horrible split shift at work today 9am to 1pm (Officially 9am to 12:30pm but I stopped to have a cup of tea with my bosses so didn't leave until 1pm - besides I had paperwork to do anyway). And I start again at 6pm so need to be there at 5:30 to get things ready for my client.

So my lunch today was lateish, and had leftover chicken curry and naan bread. Going to have to clean my teeth really well later so that I am not breathing curry fumes all over my clients!

It is going to be a LOOOONG day - I don't finish my last client until 8:15 and then I will have to clean up, change the table and do my paperwork.....

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I had a cheeky gin and tonic for lunch. Now I need a nap. :unsure:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Had a rather feisty bowl of chili con carne with some of those triangular shaped Mexican crisps, I'll probably regret it later. :(

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

3 rice cakes some pineapple and an apple ! meh :(

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Are you on a diet? That sounds bollox; when you're in the ’greatest city in the world' with the ’greatest food and restaurants in the world’.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I was teaching at the gym at 12 til 1, then I had to do some paper work etc and then was teaching again at 4.30, so was no point going home . . .was at the greatest food place - not - Lougheed ack! I grabbed fruit and rice cakes on way pit pf house and thought I may be able to sneak over to the nice little sushi place opposite, but got engulfed in scheduling and choreography etc.. . . next thing I knew it was 4.30 and I was back at it !!

Re: Lunchtime Choices

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

The last time I had lunch in a cafe in Vancouver it was at the rib place by Havana on the drive. Rib special was a half rack, curly fries, and root beer. That‘s worth a line of m‘s! Montreal may be the best restaurant city in Canada, but Vanvouver has a lot of good ones, (too many fancy-dancy ones for my taste though). I‘d actually gone into Havana with my sister, looking forward to some great authentic Cuban food and when I looked at the menu all there was was omeletts so even though we had a reservation, (sister‘s idea), I apologized and we went uphill a block for ribs. Lovely little place, blues bar at night, and a branch in Surrey now according to sis.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I've been in there a few fuzzy times on pitchers of mojitos. :thumbup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Get back on topic please gents.

I'm having Sushi for lunch today, and possibly some greek yoghurt with craisins or strawberries for afters. :thumbup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Apologies. I've got HID's spaghetti bolognaise. She's not Italian and I naffing well hate leftovers to begin with. I’m thinking I might just bin it and go and skip out for a late lunch of chicken wings and a pint.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

home made chicken fajitas in pitta breads. :D

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Ah yes. There are times when I bring in leftovers, particularly those involving spaghetti (which I'm very meh about in the first place) and they find their way into the garbage while I go out and buy something. :thumbup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

A Greek, Mexican fusion? Very multicultural ;)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Here's a little instructional video on how to have nice lunch and properly enjoy ethnic style instant noodles.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

A "small" homemade thin crust pizza with tomato and mozzarella and a scattering of basil leaves. Before I knew it I had scoffed the lot, oops! :p

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Wild mushroom quesadilla and a vegetable somasa. Sounds a bit poncey but tasted nice. Managed to sneak in a quick pint too:thumbup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Top draw. :thumbup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Met the wife for lunch today. Unknown to me the match was being shown, so she went back to work while I was able to stay for a couple. All in a great lunch:thumbup:
