Lunches lunches lunches

[whatausername]

Talk to me about lunches. What do/would you like to have? What do you tend to have?

Leftovers

‘things on toast’

soup

pasta

readymade frittata

But I’m really, really bored of it all so following for ideas. I do great evening food, just can’t motivate myself to think about lunch!

WFH days: rice and eggs or toast and cheese
Office days: last night's leftovers

I'm avoiding UPF. I usually have ryvita or rye bread with cheese and parma ham and an apple and satsuma. Or a mumsnet massive salad. I love soup so will start making batches of spicy lentil soup once it starts getting colder.

wfh

roast veg, enough for 2/3 days. Have with sardines on toast or on pizza toast.
omellet
beans on toast
lentil salad
home made soup

office
leftovers
salad
soup

try and have something nice in to pep it up….olives or avocado or nuts and seeds

fruit as a snack…to try and prevent crisps and chocolate

rarely buy lunch as it’s usually unsatisfactory

I go into the office once a week and they have a canteen so I always get the hot veggie option when there normally like curry or noodles.

On WFH days I have a range of things:

• breakfast bap of veggie sausage and egg
• mushrooms and thyme on toast
• cheese on toast or beans on toast
• special k!
• sometimes a Gousto if I know we won’t eat it for evening meal
• for a quick lunch I sometimes go super boring and have a marmite sandwich and bowl of fruit

I'm retired and live alone so don't do work lunches any more.

Office: salad, wraps and sandwiches. Always cold stuff as I don’t want to be the person who takes smelly lunch in.
WFH: leftovers or quick pasta dishes

Salad with different toppings/main bits.

Almost always sandwich, wraps or salad. Sometimes mushroom or beans on toast. I need some new ideas.

Sandwich. Occasionally soup or eggs. I hate cooking.
