What do you have for lunch?

I’ve always found lunch the most difficult meal of the day for some reason. It just seems to be sandwiches or....nothing! I’ll eat pretty much anything apart from baked beans and ham. Anyone got any good ideas? Thanks.

I live somewhere where lunch is the main meal of the day, so I just have a normal meal. Today it was a baked potato and salad, yesterday was salmon ceviche, asparagus and potato gratin.
I also like egg mayonnaise, spinach and potatoes, dhal or a Sri Lankan curry. Doesn't have to have meat and/or fish, so long as there are lots of vegetables.
Lunch when working in a office was frequently soup and salad.

@ZenNudist

I tend to have put a bread and carrot sticks with hummus or some sticks of cheese or salami.

Sometimes boiled egg with tomato and avocado or a tin of soup.

Dh does us cheese and ham toastie.

Quiche and veg/salad

Pasta parcels and shop bought tomato sauce between 2.

Gnocchi and pesto with broccoli

Shop bought frittata

Easy and quick

New top recipie: egg wrap - beat 1-2 eggs per person (3 large between 2 people perfect). Brush frying pan with oil. Pour in egg mix, reasonably thin but covers bottom of pan, sprinkle cheese, let it set a bit the push a tortilla down on it, let it cook a bit more and flip over, cook the other side of tortilla, sprinkle on any other cooked or uncooked fillings then wrap. So yummy! I add chives and spring onions to the egg mix, grilled tomato and added those to the wrap. Some variants have cooked bacon, mushrooms or avocado.

I love that wrap idea! Thank you for sharing.

I like to make different salads, today I had one with blue cheese and lots of seeds. Sometimes I’ll buy myself a small ready meal for a change and add some frozen veg.

[quote MrsMcTats]@withmycoffee I was exactly the same, but have been converted by Yorkshire Provinder soups. They are thick, with actual roast chicken, lentils and veg. I've hated soup forever, but regularly have it now![/quote]
I'll give them a go!

I'm a big fan of Yorkshire Provender soups!

I tend to have egg and avocado on toast a lot too

When I retired a few years ago, one great bonus was being able to have lunch at home with access to cooker and toaster. I love it when there are leftovers to be used up, even if it's a weird combination. Also enjoy soup, toasted sandwich, avocado and chorizo on sourdough toast, bacon sandwich, sausage sandwich . .
