Well today I'm having sardines fried with a bit of chilli and garlic and mixed in with some spaghetti and parmesan. It's a bit poncy, but I've had sandwiches all week already.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm having chicken souvlaki, rice and a nice Greek salad. I had a sandwich from the local hasty market yesterday which was the worst soggy horrible excuse for a sandwich I've seen. There's definitely a gap in the market for posh nice sandwiches to-go in Canada if anyone wants a project.

I had Subway for almost a month. I was surprised that there are about 3000 people working in this area, but only one subway, one cakes/cookies/tea/coffee shop and an Indian lunch shop. Everybody seems to pack their own lunch. Is that Maritimer's way?

I was fed up with the lunches. Then I thought to roast a chicken and have chicken salad. However, roasting it in the oven triggered the fire alarm. Now I just buy Sobeys ready roasted chicken and salad leaf, add activia yogurt and an apple.

Today I had a homemade pancake wrap with fried veg and chicken. Very nice!

It took me probably an hour and a half to beat eggs, mix flour and make pancake, chop and fried veg and chicken, but it only took 10 minutes to eat!!!

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Totally agree! In the UK, they sell £3 billion sandwiches a year. Also we need ice creams vans. There is no ice creams van in parks and beaches!!!

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

They have sandwiches and baguette type rolls at convenient marts and petrol stations but they are such bad quality.

We have an ice cream van that comes around Kitts beach, even plays a jingle.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

IKEA sells pretty good sandwiches which they just recently started doing. They have Egg Salad for $2.50 and a Vegetarian Sandwich on Flatbread for $3.50. I've tried both and they're pretty decent. Certainly a lot cheaper than I've seen anywhere else.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Can I just give a shout-out to spring onions as they really brighten up an otherwise extremely dull ham sandwich. :thumbup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Seconded. :thumbsup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

There's an ice cream van here that comes round my area, in the north west of Calgary. I think he must have lost his CD of Ice cream van jingles, because the other day he was playing silent night, Rudolf the red nose reindeer and other Christmas songs. In mid July!

Usually, I run out and get one, but I was just coming out of the shower, so I missed out on my 99.

:embarrassed_smile:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I dreamed that I was making hotdogs with toast topper topping on top of the hotdog:eek::blink::rofl:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

3 mangoes, 2 kiwis and 4 nectarines today !

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

thats why you keep being ravished - you taste too fruity ;)

For me cheeseburger and a couple of cans of Coors Light

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

aha - maybe thats why - yes!!!

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Two pints of San Miguel and a portion of chips sitting outside a pub in Soho. Keeping up with the cricket and reading The Observer. Life is good.....

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Its a turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwich. Some hot soup would have gone well with this as its quite a dreary day but we're economizing apparently. :(

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I had that yesterday. I would have had the same today, but we already ate all the stuffing so it was just turkey and cranberry. There's still quite a lot of turkey left so I'm probably going to give most of it to the dogs.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

If we only had a dog.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

You can't go wrong with their $1 breakfast on weekends......;)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

That's not true, you can go extremely wrong with the food in that god awful place.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Hmmmmmm...it's so yummy in my tummy :rofl:

You get what you pay for.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I had four chips ahoy cookies and a cup of tea today. That's all I have eaten so far - fry up for supper (done the healthiest of ways of course;)).

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

That is such a cliché

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I think when it comes to $1 ikea breakfast the cliché applies. I'd feel sorry for the rats living nearby as it's them that will be eating all the scraps.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Why?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Plus an Ikea breakfast is just a bit chavvy

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Nah - a BHS breaky is Chavvy!

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

My first job when I was at school was in the lighting section of BHS. They did a lovely breakfast in the canteen. :thumbup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I used to go shopping with my nan in town on a Saturday morning back in the day.

She always treated me to a BHS breakfast :wub:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Did you ever buy a light or a clock?

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Tempted everytime you passed through :) Top of the escalator, double back on yourself, through the electrical, onto the full english :)

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

That's right....I am King Chav :D

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

BHS customer restaurant - now there's some memories! Back in the day when I was just 15, that was my first Saturday job. Spent 4 hours every Saturday serving up brekkies and clearing tables. Was only there for a few months before we moved house and had to leave.

Anyway, back on lunch time choices, we currently have a foreign student staying with us. Just noticed the sandwich in the fridge that he has made himself to take for lunch today. In it, looks like some sliced chicken, whole honey ham sticks and some green leafy stuff! I was thinking, we haven't got any lettuce or the like in the fridge then realised its cabbage! Oh well, hope he enjoys it!! :lol:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

That is just rude to be looking into someone's sandwich :sneaky:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Its seems the good people who make the tasty and convient noodle snack are reintroducing the Christmas flavour which they brought out last year. Being in Canada over the Christmas period is very hard. :(

That's brilliant! Pot Noeldle! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

I'm in Vancouver. My office has just moved to a great central location beside Hotel Georgia and opposite the Four Seasons Hotel. Apart from the Pacific Centre Food Court and the Tim Hortons on Dunsmuir, what other non-pricey culinary delights should I look out for in the vicinity for lunch?

Thanks in advance! :thumbup:

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

There's that Ramen Sanpachi noodle place that always seems to be doing those Now coupons on Groupon.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Go to international food court on 500 block of Hornby. Pretty much everything there is decent, but India Abroad is very good for a lunchtime curry under $10.

Re: Lunchtime Choices
 

Thanks guys, will check them out!
