Thanks to Wiki for the pronunciation script. In the US, it's 'foo', in Canada and Vietnam,'fa'. It took me a long time to get it right.
Phở or pho[2] (UK: /fɜː/, US: /fʌ, foʊ/, Canada: /fɔː/;[3] Vietnamese: [fəː˧˩˧] (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...peaker.svg.png listen))

Leftover homemade vegetable lasagne. I even made the tomato sauce from scratch myself, with tomatoes grown on the rooftop deck and from my sister-in-law's garden.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I like spinach with a poached egg on toast. Sort of similar.

Stuffed cabbage leaves generally involve a tomato sauce and maybe tomatoes. Baked beans come in a tomato sauce.

So long as the cabbage isn't over boiled it's a good mix. I think it just sounds odd because baked beans are more likely associated with a greasy spoon breakfast than other veg.

I'm not having lunch today, in solidarity with Oink. The beer I had doesn't count.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

No lunch = sacrilege.


Smoked fish pate on bread roll or two.

Very small tub bought locally from just down the road.

Chicken thighs cooked in this

Delicious. These bags are pretty good. I've had a few different ones, from Walmart, but this has been magnificent.

I can't see the brand on the Walmart website anymore. Hope they still sell it. :fingerscrossed:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

If you can get to Walmart I'd suggest buying what you can find - I've not had much luck tracking that brand down other than the manufactors (in UK and India) a Brit grocery and a couple on Amazon.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Thanks. I noticed Tesco has it. :lol:

I mentioned how good it was to my MIL so you can bet she'll soon find an excuse to go to Walmart - "Oh I need some cat food" :nod: - to try to get some. :angel:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

So...MIL went to Walmart yesterday and returned with 4 of these

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

That's all good but you really got to marinate your chicken overnight. A two-step marinate works the best. For the first 40 minutes in a lemon juice, garlic and ginger paste and then for overnight, with garlic and ginger paste, mixed spices and chopped cilantro/coriander leaves in a plain yogurt base. It's a knock out.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I have it indexed as Oink's Naff Off Curry. :thumbup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

They gravy in that recipe is not the best, too sweet and not rich enough. But the marinated chicken pieces are the gash.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I think, that with this particular sauce, you could marinate your chicken in dish soap and toilet duck and the sauce would completely mask it. :rofl:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Hospital lunch today, chicken schnitzel with corn relish on the side, potato, carrots, baby corn and broccoli. Wholemeal dinner roll with butter. Trifle. I want to take the chef home with me.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

One of my sisters is in hospital out on the coast; fell and has something called a T-12 compression fracture. Her emails indicate she is zoned on painkillers, and she's been sending pics of hospital food. Does this look like your chicken schnitzel?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Actually looks pretty good for hospital food.

The last time I was in hospital (2012) I spent 6 weeks there, and boy was the food ever bad, especially on Thursday when it was this fish covered in some sort of creme sauce, luckily the nursing station had semi decent sandwiches they would give out on request.

The picture there you posted, looks pretty tasty.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Looks better than AirNZ fare.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Haven't eaten in 24 hours so sausages and eggs on toast with baked beans and a vodka and tonic; I shoot a hole in holistic.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I was in Scotland this weekend and on the drive home we stopped at Cairn Lodge services which is a sister operation of the Tebay Services. Very nice grub. I had a haggis Scotch egg. The haggis was lovely and the egg was still runny. Perfect.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Smoked salmon sandwich and a stonkingly good cup of tea.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Rearranged the freezer this morning to fit in some meat, found half a packet of little steak pies that I bought a few months ago for a visitor. Not something we usually eat but since the box wouldn't fit back in.......:angel_smile: Very yum!

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

HID said bread is the new asbestos. It sounds delicious to me.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Giggerty

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Had to look that word up - I sort of understand the meaning but don't get the relevance to my post. Must be getting old! (ps no need to explain, I'd like to retain what little innocence I have) :angel:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I hope you don't dunk. My MIL occasionally dunks buttered toast. I'll dunk a sandwich or toast in soup but not tea/coffee.

It was only a small turkey yesterday and it's the cold (Boxing Day) version today. After setting aside enough for dinner tonight, if there's enough spare, it'll be a turkey sandwich for lunch, maybe with some turkey soup from the carcass.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Me too, I misspelled it, it should be 'giggity'.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Ummmm but Thanksgiving is today :D

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

This way we get a Sunday roast and then Turkey (still) today.
On CBC radio this morning they said that many actually have their Turkey on the Sunday, so I'm just Canadianised. :lol:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

No. NononononoNO. :sick:

'Orrible .

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

+1. Never dunk.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Saganaki and rice, can of beer.

A cold ' hot smoked salmon' roll with a few plain crisps . Then two choc and cranberry biscuits and a stonking good cup of tea.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

A big fat tuna patty that I made myself, and a bunch of lovely black grapes from the US. Plus a cuppa.

Tea comes later.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm calling it an early lunch; cold breaded pork cutlet on pumpernickel with sliced dill pickle and coarse Dijon.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Beef sandwich - small one - and Chef Boyardee Ravioli.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I have no idea what that is in terms of lunch.:unsure:
