Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I ended up having this.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm not surprised.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Why not? :confused:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I 'misquoted' you as heaving.

Eggs in ramen? :sick:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm not surprised either, because you mentioned a desire to try pho (pronounced fa) a little while ago.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I haven't bee quite brave enough to try it yet. I think I'll wait until it's a cold and wet afternoon. Somehow in a situation like that, it seems like it would be less of a cultural leap.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

What do you call the stuff in the bowl?, looks like pho from here.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Chashu-men - It's Japanese

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Well I'm having a kimchi flavoured ramen noodle bowl and home made kimchi - it's Korean.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Sea Scallops.

I normally buy the Bay kind mainly used as an ingredient in the fishy version of a dish that was created and named using the first part of my wife's name and the last part of my own.

We did use Sea Scallops once but altogether, with everything else, there wasn't really a difference so stuck with the cheaper Bay kind.

I bought some Sea Scallops alongside the bargain Ham and Rib Roasts in Superstore's 4 day special.

Had them at lunchtime today, just quickly fried in garlic and butter.

Heavenly. Should have bought more than one tray.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I don't think we those out here. We only have the proper ones.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I think scallops would definitely be on my death-row last-meal tray. 6 or 12 even... oh yes.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Have you had abalone?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Bubble and squeak using thanks giving left overs. With brown sauce.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Crikey. Where have you been stranger!

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Haven't had any lunch yet. Got some biggly wiggly from Foggy Bottom in town so we're having to pretend we're working on stuff. :(

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Noodle bowl and kimchi, as the antidote to my breakfast.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Hotdogs and cake. (And it's healthy; kimchi on hotdogs erases a multitude of dietary sins.)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Small piece of salmon and a dark green salad with no salad cream. I'm doing a pre Ashes cleanse.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I've been working in Germany this year and I am struggling with the lunch mentality. There are a few local restaurants by the office which do the mittagstisch (lunchtime hot main meal) but although it is very lovely there are a few problems as far as i am concerned:

• It takes too long - 1hr minimum, often closer to 2
• It makes me sleepy in the afternoon
• I like my evening meal and a big lunch puts me off that
• A big lunch puts me off going to the gym in the evening

There is a bakery near the office which does lovely sandwiches/rolls but most of my colleagues think that missing a big lunch is a travesty. I do feel very European in philosophy, but NOT when it comes to the average working day lunch.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

More of the same, same kimchi hotdogs, same cake. No complaints, I'm getting paid well for eating it at work. :-) I found the Snoopy hot dog toaster they got last year and have been using that.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

They ought to make one of those where Snoopy really is lying on top. Just have to remove 'the lid' to put the bread in. :nod:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

That's a pretty good idea.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

So is that.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Goop instead of sludge today. :lol:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Nice. I had to work early and left fuelled by muffins and coffee, so the breakfast I wanted, I'm having right now for a late lunch; kippers and toast and beans with Irish whiskey and a lager.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

My timesaver at work, noodle bowl and kimchi.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

There can't be many folks in Canada who eat better than you, caretaker. :thumbup::thumbup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Ha ha, that's because it's something you like, but I it would be healthier with something other than ramen. Full marks though, for easy and tasty and under $1, even with the cold Bohemian because it was one of several the band left in the cooler in the green room.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

People say what is the point of threads like this, but if it's shown us anything, it's that you can live well into your middle sixties eating foods with no obvious nutritional value. ;)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I said "better" not healthier ;) Anyway in all your food posts I think 99% of them have made me wish I was eating that too.

Turkish stuffed cabbage leaves for me tonight, bought from a deli I'm afraid, not homemade by me.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

This is what I got for lunch again. I think the wording HID used was. "At Christmas, if you're going to act like a naffing out-of-control adolescent that's just left home, you better go on a diet and exercise programme for the next couple of months."

Edited to note: The explanation of why the smoothie seems lumpy, HID has some theory about the health benefits of chewing your smoothie. She'll be adding crystals and magnets in them next. :(

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I took the leftover chicken and rice and greens from last night to work and microwaved it and had it with the increasingly usual kimchi, (co-worker and I both like it so we're keeping a good stash in the office fridge). If I'd known the terrible shite Oink is being forced to endure I would have sourced sausage rolls to torment him with.. that's the German bit coming out. While I'm trying to think of what to have for supper some Christmas cake and butter and a few drinks will tide me over.

Oink, start making kimchi and sell her on you can have whatever you want so long as you eat a little dish of good kimchi every day*. It's trending. No idea how it goes with salmon but I'd risk it. Tell her it's like engine de-greaser for your guts.
*with rice or soup or stew, somehow, nothing wrong with a day or 2 off from it either

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I fear it has too much sodium to pass inspection.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

You'll be the healthiest man in the cemetery...

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

:lol: I don't think it's going to be a problem from one little dish per day, it's a condiment more than a main course. Had blood work done exactly one week ago this very minute, and if my sodium was high my Dr's office would have phoned me. I'm about to prepare my lunch to take to work.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Today's lunch. A word of caution, don't get any on your tie. :(

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Is HID trying to pimp you out on this holiday?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Somehow doubt it. She wouldn't get much.

I think she found out about some of the Christmas lunchtime reservations I've already made. :lol:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Ghostbusters! I had rice, spiced cod, romaine lettuce and kimchi.
