I made sandwiches from left over roast beef and salad, they looked really nice until my husband plonked a big spoonful of coleslaw on the top of his. The things that man makes a sandwich out of! He'll even made a sandwich out of a meat pie.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I suppose we can be grateful that they'll eat anything :D

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Ever been tempted to put the cat/dog food between the slices. :sneaky:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm fond of crisp sandwiches. I remember someone on a school trip with cake crumb sandwiches.

Sugar sandwiches were nice as a child. Nice and crunchy.

Then there's condensed milk sandwiches

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Don't worry, I didn't mix the two !?! :rofl:

Today was a sandwich buerre jambon, can there be a better combo?! No Chef Boyardee, just a Chai tea.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

That's a yes.

That is another yes. We were given them at teatime when rations were very low, which was quite often.

That's a :scaredhair::sick:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Yep post WWll when food was still in short supply you would eat what ever you could get your hands on, another staple was Dripping sandwiches or dripping on toast the jelly at the bottom of the dripping pot was the best.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Oh yes - dripping on a big chunk of bread.. first the fat smeared over the bread (instead of butter or marg), then the jelly sliced or chopped on top, and a sprinkle of salt. I still did that every Christmas with the turkey drippings right up until last year (I remember being horrified that Canadians tend to throw that gorgeous stuff away)!
(the jelly, reduced, makes the best stock too - simmer, freeze in cubes)
:D

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I ordered a warm sausage roll yesterday, HID made me take the pastry covering off it. :(

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

:lol:

Did she double check to make sure you binned it?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Tell-tale crumbs.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Broccoli and cheese. Ate about 2 cups of broccoli. Eating healthier but I think my body is unsure of this new healthy food, its hating me at the moment.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Good lad, the green stuff is excellent for you! :D Your body's bound to be a bit cranky at a radical change of diet, but I promise you it will settle down. In the meantime you can blame any farts on Charlee :lol:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I had a wrap with spicy falafel, loaded with veggies and tzatziki, and 2 pieces of incredibly good baklava.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm calling it a late lunch; guacamole and toast and a few drinks. I harboured 2 big avocados for 10 days after getting them from an unused band rider, until they were the right consistency, and threw it together this morning like it was second nature. A handful of chopped cilantro, diced red onion, garlic, jalapeno, tomato, juice of 1 lime, sea salt, and the avocados. Not too much or too little of anything. ;)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Spam Bacon (very nice once in a while), baked beans, toast, mushrooms, egg. What a medley of flavours.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Is that fried Spam?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/british...82dd27af1e.png
Fried or microwaved works. Doesn't need oil, it's more a case of searing it in the pan.

Just realised...you probably thought I meant spam and bacon as opposed to bacon spam.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

No, I thought there was only one kind of Spam, and by frying it, it became Spam bacon. Aren't you a bit young to be having Spam, I thought it's only for senior seniors ?!

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

:lol:
It's a very convenient way to have the taste of bacon. It's very different to ordinary plain old Spam.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

sorry.. can't resist :D

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Two crusty bread rolls filled with slivers of cold smoked salmon and a stonking good strong cup of tea.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I had a frozen Ultimate pizza from Giant Tiger. I got one with meat toppings and added mushrooms and Bocconcini cheese.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I just realized I haven't eaten anything in the last 78 hours. Just ben a bit preoccupied with work I suppose.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I don't know how that is even possible. Not the absence of food, but the lack of awareness.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Cheese sandwich with a few quality crisps and a good cup of tea

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Eggs Benedict with some salad. Hollandaise sauce out of a packet (expiry 2011) if I drop off BE you'll know why.

And some tea.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

She'll be right, a good cuppa kills bacteria and stuff. I read it somewhere on the internet.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Do feel slightly :unsure: actually. Hopefully will pass. If not will have a Coke, and if that doesn't sort it a medicinal (!) whiskey. I didn't think anything could happen to a powder, especially with the preservatives and chemicals they throw in there.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I was only kidding you, the worse thing that could happen to a sealed packet of dry powder is it might taste a bit stale. Tell your belly to behave itself, it's perfectly safe.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Sealed, nope. But I think I will be ok. Thanks anyway.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

It is too early for lunch which is 4 hours away.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Mr BEVS is out, who's to know :sneaky:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I brought my lunch today, and of course it is egg salad sandwiches. I didn't like the eggs I bought on sale at No Frills; they're small and the shells are fragile, so the last four were hastily boiled, chilled, and shelled, chopped, and mixed with chopped lettuce, mayo, a little red onion, s&p, dash of paprika, and a tsp of curry powder.

First time I've had a turkey sandwich before xmas dinner - which is actually pork (with crackling) this time

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

That sounds rather delicious. I only had one meal yesterday (Christmas day), but it lasted for about 6 hours.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Kippers.
