To save time at work a can of Moroccan style chick-pea soup from a dollar store, (í ¼í¾¶Just 3 minutes in the microwave!í ¼í¾¶) with a little Tabasco. It's good, and I'm buying more.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Chick-pea again - good taste prevents cross-posting in the Trump thread.
It's sideways unless I open in new tab.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Pastrami and creamy horseradish sandwich and sweet potato actifries.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm going to have a late lunch of kippers and toast and whisky. Kippers aren't only for breakfast.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Not only is it extremely thrifty, I'm getting paid the big bux to eat it. 😁 What a country!

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

No poor noodle bowl today, after breakfast I cooked a pot of rice and made a pork stirfry with hoisin and brought that to microwave. Side of kimchi, can of ale.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Lately it's been Chicken Muligatany soup with extra chilli flakes to kick it up a notch.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Fish and chip special at the Serbian club, very good.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Spicy bbq beef with bok choy and mushrooms and onions, rice and kimchi. I use bbq sauce, hoisin, and gochujang paste, soy sauce, a pinch of crushed chillies and tiny bit of 5 spice powder. You can omit the salt and pepper in this one.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Ramen noodles with added mushroom, celery, grated carrot and spring onion, garlic, tons of ginger, tons of chili and some sesame oil. Needs kimchi, haven't been to the nearest Asian store for a while, and let's face it, northwestern Germany ain't no kimchi haven.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Make your own, you're better off. Look at the kimchi I have, and I just took a jar for the fridge at work.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I love to cook but I'm not into jarring and preserving :(

Can you deliver? Serious question.. I'd pay for good gear, man...

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

You buy a jar then put it in your fridge anyway... get a tub of gochujang paste and bottle of fish sauce at the Asian store and you already have ginger, garlic, sea salt, crushed chili and sugar. Buy the onions, cabbage, daikon and cucumbers on the way home. You don't even have to use the stove. Once again, just for the music:
Edit: I paid $10 for a 1kg tub of gochujang at the Asian store, it's well worth it, good in many ways, doesn't take much so lasts ages. My friend up north in the bush ordered it from Amazon. Amazon's gochugaru (Korean crushed chili without the seeds) is far too much though, $7 for 4oz when it's $8/lb at the store.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Ham, cheddar, crackers, some cold pasta salad, a beer and a smoke.

I was still wearing my plaid PJs and Crocs.

Nice image, innit?

I think lunch is my favourite meal of the day.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I have never tried kimchi, and the person in the first link said they didn't like it at first. So before I go to the bother of making it is there a ready-made version that is worth trying?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I've never had store-bought kimchi, but if I was in the market I wouldn't be shy about trying Kimchi Korea from Ontario. I saw this program when it first aired and it explains quite a bit about it. The kimchi segment begins at 5:30.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Thank you. I will find some to try. If nothing else I am fairly sure our last food truck festival had a Korean barbecue seller. However the recent failure of Bridge Farm kefir warns us that fermented foods do not necessarily suit the British palate :p;):lol:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I don't like cabbage and I don't like things that have gone off. :thumbdown:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Previous posts suggest you are far from completely averse to the concept of fermentation.:nod:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I don't think eating rotten cabbage will mitigate the gross indignities of living here, the intoxicant needs to be somewhat stronger.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Oh Oink, that's fine dear, just leave it on your plate and go outside and play. Teaandtoday5, the easiest way to try it might be if you're in the big city and see a Korean food truck slam on the brakes and get a dish with a side of kimchi.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Beef and vegetables and rice and beer.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

For the noodles we are about to receive we are truly thankfull.
Ramen

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Must admit I thought of Oink tonight as I cooked my dinner, a lovely and very large fillet of sockeye salmon, which I served up with a salad and a couple of lagers (Haake Beck). There are 2 breweries in Bremen, the world-famous Beck's, and the much nicer beer from Haake Beck.

EDIT - this should be in Teatime Choices (for me) but I suppose it's lunchtime for you lot. We always said Canada is behind the times ;)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Not a fan of kimchi either, but I was just reading yesterday that it is incredibly healthy for the human gut (micro biome).

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Back in the UK for a few days so wandered along to the local pub in the village for lunch. I had smoked haddock with poached eggs and bubble & squeak, washed down with a couple of pints of Woodforde's Norfolk Nog winter ale. Lovely.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm not sure about the combination of fish and eggs but if you add anything else to get me envious, like having the weekend Guardian and Observer to read at your leisure, you're off my christmas card list. :nod:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

It’s Thursday :confused:

Advance warning :nod:

Just for you, matey...

Free in Waitrose too :nod:

No time to get out today, so ramen and kimchi again.

Hamburger steak with fried onions and gravy, chips and peas, and beer in accordance with Canada's Food Guide.
Much as Peter Gunn is the classic break tune of the roadhouse band, the hamburger steak is the yardstick by which you rate the roadside diner.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

A little onion, some leftover lamb and green beans fried with Jamaican curry powder, mashed potato and baked beans added.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Leftover ribs and rice and kimchi at work, a little change-up from my normal old noodle-bowl. Just 3 minutes in the microwave! :lol: My bbq sauce is a mixture of Kraft regular, hoisin, and Korean gochujiang paste.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Brought my lunch again, and pairing it with a couple of Calgarys out of my locker. I have surprisingly little adult supervision around here.
