I was planning on having a ham and chutney sandwich for my lunch, but when I went to make it I discovered that the bread I bought yesterday was mouldy Damn Superstore!

So in the end I had leftovers - last nights lasagne nuked in the microwave.

Having a rather characterless can of beef barley soup but on the bright side Ar***l are getting thumped.

Sushi at weekends, sometimes brunch.

I make a 'batch' on a Sunday for hubby and I for the week ahead which comprises whatever I can throw together!!

Buying lunch in downtown Calgary is expensive. Average of $12.00 for a sarnie and a drink.

Sushi is on the things that I could never be arsed to make. If you're going to eat sushi go to a good place as cheap sushi disgusting.

AllyS

we don't make it, there are lots of great sushi places in Calgary and great value meals can be had. You can also pick up bento boxes at the supermarkets.

Have had cheap sushi in the UK - not good.

I LOVE sushi but always make.ours. I found so many links on YouTube that it made sense. I can make enough for 20 at the same price as buying it for 2, and it tastes much better. Today for lunch we had 'proper' Spag Bol and I had three visiting kids who all loved it so I count that as success! I'm always nervous feeding other people's kids....

There's an Asian supermarket here that sells frozen turtles. I'd like to try one but I'm not sure how to cook it.

I would start by defrosting them. I thought posh people in England used to have turtle soup.

I often make our sushil... it is our standard Christmas Eve dinner.

Mr Chookie and I are going to have sushi for dinner tonight as well...

I actually find making sushi quite relaxing - I get into a "zone" while doing it. The trick is to have everything ready before hand so that when it comes down to it, you can just fill roll and slice.

I agree that you can make it yourself very cheaply - there is now way I could afford to feed my gannets of a family sushi if I didn't make it myself.

The sushi places here are bloody cheap -4 of us for dinner $35 !!

Having a plate of hot and spicy chicken wings to go along with a well earned lunchtime pint.

FYI, hot wings are not a brilliant idea for lunch.

Had a nice steak sandwich but now I'll probably be too full for my tea.

Some things are Worth putting up with. nice steak sandwich for lunch is worth belly ache come tea time.

Corned beef sandwich for me, not too bad. Could of done with some watercress though.

A rather spicy noodle soup with fresh (recreationally) caught prawns.
