Gazpacho followed by Spanish omelette....I think I can hear castanets clicking and feet stamping!

Just made a beef rendang curry. It was delicious and I have three portions left for the weekend.

It's quite a lengthy lunch isn't it!

I'm getting over the dreaded norovirus and didn't eat for a long while and I'm ravenous today!

I don’t think it sounds like a big lunch at all. It’s a sandwich, some fruit, crisps, a drink and a pudding. Basically most lunch boxes! You don’t need to justify or explain it away - MN just has a bunch of annoying competitive under eaters that are best ignored.

I had a poppyseed bagel with roast beef and mustard, with big bowl of potato salad, cucumber and sweetcorn on the side. About to have a couple of oranges too. Will probably have some biscuits in a bit. I wouldn’t class that as a big lunch either (and before the competitive under eaters feign concern about an obesity crisis, I’m a size 10!)

Corned beef barm from the local sandwich shop. Dsv(19) treated me😊

I had some homemade broccoli and stilton soup - delicious if I say so myself!

Tahcnibor · 28/02/2025 13:43

I'm off work today and about to get stuck in to work in the garden (which will hopefully burn some lunch calories off!) so treated myself to bacon, eggs, mushrooms and toast, plus pot of coffee

Bbq1 · 28/02/2025 13:43

It's a roll/bap, yes, Op! I'm in the Northwest, barm cake is the full name, barm for short!

Spicy chicken kerala soup - M£S
Filled out with left over tinned pinto beans, yesterdays veg, and a big handful of rocket, spinach and watercress salad from sainsburys, wilted into it.

Then some blueberries or prunes and then a dark chocolate florentine from M£S.

I did the Zoe program 18 months ago, so now I eat at the altar of vegetables and pulses.
