I have asked before... I am now asking again... mumsnetters, what are you having for lunch?

I had white rice with curried lentils, spicy cabbage, and chutney. I wish I had some sweet treats in but I don't so will probably eat a spoon of jam.

I had a leftover from roast sandwich. The king of sandwiches. Roast chicken, stuffing, sliced roast potato and some Redcurrant jelly. Gravy for dipping.

I win don’t I?

Yep - the gravy for dipping did it!

I’m on holiday so met my friend for lunch. Scampi and chips and mushy peas, large glass of Pinot Grigio, and a Diet Coke, sat in the sunshine.

I've eaten it but I had roasted veg mixed with lentils and feta, with a mustard/honey/vinegar dressing.

3 eggs, scrambled. Half a red pepper and some cucumber. I will have a handful of cherries as an afternoon snack.

I weighed myself this morning, and subsequently am making attempts to reduce carbs, so no bread for me! Am bloody starving...

I have just emptied the contents of the fridge into a bowl. The weekly shop comes on a Wednesday, so Tuesday is always "finishing the dregs".

Last of a bag of slightly limp rocket
Tomatoes
Cucumber
Beetroot
Some leftover ham
Random chunk of cheese
Last bit of a pot of tzatziki
Coleslaw
A few olives

Was surprisingly nice!

Tinytigertail · 06/08/2024 14:06

I had Feta, tomato,.cucumber and black olives. Doesn't sound much (made in a rush this morning) but was tasty and surprisingly filling!

A huge mound of stir-fried cabbage greens, cooked in olive oil and butter, with two pork sausages

HansSolo22 · 06/08/2024 14:02

I had a slice of seedy toast with guacamole, crispy bacon and poached egg. It was more brunch than lunch. It was my first time cooking poached eggs (I’m 46 😆) and although the whites were a bit crap, the yolk was just right.
