Spicy noodle bowl with leeks mushrooms and bbq sausage.
For the noodles we are about to receive we are truly thankful.
Ramen

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Some grilled lingcod, a "Mediterranean" orzo pasta salad, some raw carrot sticks, celery and broccoli with a humus dip. No pudding today. :(

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I had poached eggs and Marmite on toast. Lovely.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

A sesame quinoa salad. :( Still the brown sauce perked it up a bit. :thumbup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Beef and bean burrito that was so good I won't torture Oink by describing it, but contained no quinoa. I made 2 and have 1 wrapped up in the fridge for later or tomorrow.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

If it made it to the fridge...not quite sure it's as good as you say. :p

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

These are 1 per meal burritos made with 12" tortillas; there's a limit to how many pounds of food you should eat at one sitting. :lol: I even give the microwaved leftover one I had today good marks. One thing I'm missing about the Okanagan is the variety of tortillas in the grocery stores but these are still really good.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Ok, will let it pass. :lol: I tend to use the 8" tortillas - not that that ever affects quantity!

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

We have 8" tortillas here too but in Oliver they get different kinds in for the Mexican migrant worker population and some of them are really good. There's even a small Mexican grocery store but I found some of the same items I buy in the Indian grocery across the road from us a little cheaper.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Blackened cajun style catfish eaten in Cajun country. To keep the link to Canada they were accompanied by sweet potato fries.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I once went to place in the south called Uncle Bud's All You Can Eat Catfish. They bought you something called "fixins" when you first sit down.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Leek soup and meatballs with penne in mushroom sauce, parmesan.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

The balls of which meat?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

A seafood pasta salad with with squid and baby octopuses in it and I not sharing. :frown:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Squids are good fishermen because they have ten-tackles. :lol:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm supposed to meet my friend in an hour and go to N'goc Van for lunch. Not too sure but I'm leaning toward the stewed beef rice noodle pho' - alts could be duck or my standby beef sate'.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

The secret is the little foil packets of twigs from the apple orchard next door thrown down on the burner shield. Teryaki marinated pork ribs with a local sauce (Mum's Darn Hot). In what passes for a Martha Stewart moment the smoke roasted pepper became a boat for potato salad.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Pulled pork sandwich from Hammer's House of Hog just up the road.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm sure its tastes nice but I've really understood the fascination of pulled or shredded pork? Wouldn't a nice juicy slice of pork with the crackling on it be nicer?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Four chocolate Hob Nobs.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm going to guess he shreds it because as it comes out of the smoker the flavour isn't evenly distributed, the bark will have the most and the centre of the shoulder or whatever piece it is will hold less smoke. Just my theory. It makes a nice nest for the sauce and slaw too. Hammer is from Saskatchewan originally and a good Riders fan and the bbq is top notch (he used to have a website but uses fb now).

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

That's relatively local. I'll check it out if I'm ever out that way.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

On topic...

Anyone for pulled chicken? - Features - Food + Drink - The Independent

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Hmm, I'm not convinced.

Still today, because all this Bolshevist talk about Fitbits and stuff, I trundled off to Nando's for my lunch.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Not convinced either. Pulled meat ruins the texture IMO.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Sandwich with calabrese salami, pesto and swiss cheese

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

When I'm down on the Drive for lunch I sometimes go to Memphis Blues BBQ, it's really good but they don't give you enough baked beans - if the special offers a choice opt for the curly fries.:sneaky:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

They have one just up the road from me. My mate often stops in after we've been boozing down the pub, although they seem to run out of stuff often.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I think I have gained a couple of kg just by looking at their photo gallery. :ohmy:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Sausage, egg and chips.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Rule f***ing Britannia! :thumbup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I have to confess a slight concession to modernity, I did rather smother it in a bit of sriracha sauce. :o

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Oh, get you with your fancy Vancouver metrosexual ways...

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Mangalorean fish curry with rice and poppadums. :)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Had my go - to pizza. Called 2-4-1 Pizza and asked if they could make an order of slices to pick up - spinach,feta,chicken and they say ok ready in 10 minutes and it's great!

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

That's posh for Regina. You'll be eating hummus and sun-dried tomatoes next. ;)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Nay - bob, one of our old Greek restaurateurs pioneered the spinach feta pizza here several generations ago and his sales have never flagged since the 70's. However his pizza would cost 3x what I paid @ 2-4-1. People have pizza flown from Regina to Vancouver on a regular basis, did you know that? :p I think it's the big thick ones from Houston Pizza (those didn't make Pizza Wars on tv last week either). I want to try the Punjabi Pizza (or maybe the Tandoori Chicken) from Da Pizza n Curry Express next!

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Pizza has become so varied these days. I like Flying Wedge in Vancouver, not authentic, but oh so damn good. Looks similar to the Regina outfit.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Canadians seem to like a lot of shit on their pizzas, in fact the more shit the better although their are some places on and near Commercial Drive that have nice simple Neapolitan ones.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I think everywhere outside Europe/UK likes to pile it on. It really does become a pizza pie.
