You boil them then cool them in the fridge, perfect for leftovers, (just boil too many on purpose). Then they're easy to slice and fry up easily. S&P and pinch of oregano or parsley.

Yep, do that.
Microwaving and then wedging or halving and frying right away works great too.

I was thinking for when making mash or roast spuds and peeling them and wondering if the peel alone might come out similar.

Having said that, I've taken to leaving the peel on for mash too, unless the skins are ropy looking and/or hiding the not nice bits.

I'll be doing roast spuds with the coming turkey so I'll experiment with the skins then. Maybe microwave/boil the skins before frying?

Wow, so sorry to hear that. Let's hope the rest of your time in UK won't be so tainted.

I like greggs. Grabbing a cheap pasty (or sausage roll) to eat at your desk is great if you aren't having a pub lunch.

2 A&W Teen Burgers for $7, they were Teen Burgers to go and taken back to work. I ate them both.
There's a John Prine song that goes:
I met a girl from Venus, her insides were lined with gold. She did what she did, she said "How was it kid?"
She was politely told; "Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain, but actually everything is just about the same".

Lunch has been boring lately, yesterday was peanut butter on some bread, and a banana, and today haven't gotten around to trying to figure out what I can make....

Had Philadephia Jalapeno on my brekky bagel. It's gorgeous, really has a wee bite of jalapenos in it.

Kill me now.

I don't think I've seen that. It does sound good.

It's excellent, though I feel positively dirty enjoying Kraft Cheese Product.

I've also munched my way through 5 of my 6 bagels for the week. I think I got a fresh batch at Freshco cos they're toasting up A Treat!

Well at least you have the guilt, (I have Cheeze Whiz in the fridge). Kraft makes a dry salty cheddar product and sells it in a little red plastic tub; discussed here in 2012, they call it MacLaren's Imperial cheese spread and only print Kraft somewhere out of the way about 1/16" tall. How bad are you if you have to hide your company name on your products?

I don't remember a spreadable version although the tub makes you think it should be.

Fortunately one can buy Cracker Barrel Special Reserve so no need of the Imperial one anymore.

And the bonus is that Cracker Barrel is nothing to do with Kraft, oh no.
