It was pizza day here today. So I had pizza. Sadly, my normal accompanyment to pizza of beer had to replaced by ginger ale.

People. Glass houses. I suppose yours were hand picked beans encased in a tomato reduction, nestled on a bed of home baked bread, complimented by lashings of worcestershire coulee.

I do enjoy work functions in hotels, it's a fine way to sample food that you would never elect to eat together on a normal day. The french fancies took me by surprise. Not Mr. Kipling, sadly.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

It's not everyday a French fancy takes one by surprise.

Today I had toasted cheese and fried egg. Nowt French or fancy there.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

nyum nyum

The fancies were small though. I surveyed them and thought that they were bigger when I was growing up. Just like creme eggs and wagon wheels. Nowadays they are teeny.

I didn't realise he was French, though that does explain the dog.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Bovil on Rivita. I'm on a diet. :frown:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

For lunch I had Pork chop in a creamy Dijon sauce with steamed asparagus, mushrooms & onions in garlic butter and mashed potato - YUM!

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

:frown:

According to my girlfriend my hunger pains are just thirst in disguise, so I've only got water to drink for the rest of the afternoon.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

oops - sorry oink!

I like Ryvita and Marmite. Your girlfriend has a very valid point though. I read that too.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Hmm, my stomach is rumbling and I need to decide between:

a) Alphagetti on toast with a splash of Worcestershire sauce

b) Jacob's cream crackers with some Wensleydale cheese

c) Tuna sandwich with salad cream
:unsure:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

For what it's worth - I'd go with option b.

Edit: with a nice :drinkwine:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

b) is what I'm eating right now! :thumbsup:

There's a half-full bottle of red wine in the kitchen, might have to go and pour myself a glass...

I love flexday Fridays :D

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Me too. Now, every time I'm hungry I go down the pub.

I don't seem to be losing any weight.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

You do realise that beer has calories, whereas water has none? :rofl:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I've heard the same ugly rumour about ice cream

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

It does??? :eek:

Maybe that's where I've been going wrong...

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Yes, turns out eating ice cream every day makes you fat. Who knew?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Thanks for the tip - I'll be sure to avoid it from now on :thumbup: :rofl:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I have been at the Convention Centre in Down town Van all day -doing fitness stuff - am shattered - went to the food court at the Waterfront Centre v nice salady place - I had a wholeweat wrap with beans and rice and hummus :)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread but I thought it worth mentioning that I'm having a steak and Guinness pie and chips for lunch today.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Made do with Marmite & Peanut Butter on toast...:(

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

That's what I ate for lunch today too:thumbsup: Yummy:thumbsup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Ikea Daim cake.
Gluten free, choices are limited ;)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

The "bread" I made my toast with was wheat & gluten free..

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I bought a gluten free loaf yesterday from a local bakery. The bread is now in the bin as it was too dire to eat.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I posted in another thread about the Kinnikinnick frozen Italian sandwich loaf (Rice & tapioca)..

You have to toast it but it's not bad & tastes a little like Challah bread..

We can get it in Superstore & Sobeys here..

It's the best of a bad bunch..:o

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

That's my second choice bread after the cheese bread.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Funnily enough I made a nice steak and guinness pie the other week. There was a bit of filling left over and I'm having it for tea on some rice.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Unfortunately my youngest daughter & I are both dangerously allergic (Anaphylaxis) to wheat & dairy proteins..

Cheese bread sounds delicious 'though..:)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

That's a major bummer for you.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Tuna and scallion sandwich, that I got from Market Place, which I wolfed down in the car as was running late for an appointment, then thought perhaps I should not have eaten fish and onion before going to the hairdressers...poor girl.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I managed to find some pickled eggs in the supermarket yesterday. So today I'm having a bit of bread, a bit of cheese and a pickled egg.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Nice, although the ones I've seen aren't in proper malt vinegar are yours?

I recently discovered Cobbs bread and their white makes excellent sandwiches so today I brought some ham and cucumber and couple of rounds of egg and cress along with a packet of tomato sauce flavoured crisps.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

No, not in malt vinegar. Still, I quite enjoyed eating it even though it wasn't as flavourful as those at home.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

If I buy pickled eggs, my husband eats them within 2 days - I need the chip shop sized jars:rofl:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Sounds like you have a man of discerning tastes, does he recommend a particular brand of Wally.?..

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Not really, just whatever I buy. Whenever I do hard boiled eggs for sandwiches the next day I always have to do at least 5 more than I think I'll need as they will be eaten before I have a chance to mush 'em up and add mayonnaise.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

As long as I can find some big jars, I'm thinking of sourcing some free range eggs and pickling them with proper malt vinegar if I can find some. Anyone want to go in on them?
