Never have a big lunch so I’m just having a slice of toasted seeded bread with butter and marmalade with tea

I've just snaffled a 110g bar of dairy milk. I need inspiration of actual food to eat 😂

It’s tougher if you have a sweet tooth, I would feel a bit queasy if I had just that for lunch as my blood sugar levels would soar

Not jealous. Not jealous....

I could bloody demolish that meal. Problem is white wine gives me horrific heartburn.

Turkey, smashed avocado and cucumber sandwich on seeded sourdough. Grapes. Homemade chocolate brownie. Coffee. Pint of water.

Oh dear. 2 x avocado on Nimble toast, 6 x Bailey's truffles and 2 Lotus biscuits, plus cup of tea x 2.

Yorkshire Provender roasted chicken soup with spinach and peas added, plus 3 Salti crackers

Cup of tea with soya milk and sugar

A bit too much of my leftover chocolate egg from Easter.

Cheese toastie and tomato soup. Dipping obligatory.

Strawberry and cream ice cream.

Hkgyvd · 06/05/2025 15:49

Couscous salad, with chopped apple, celery grated carrot and cheese mixed in. Random but really tasty and a nice work lunch box lunch.

You'll be relieved to hear I did end up eating real food as well. Cheese and ham quesadilla with homemade tomato salsa and salad. And a handful of blueberries and strawberries. And a pint of water, and a brewski.

This sounds delicious! Try some horseradish with your mackerel and beetroot next time 👌

Tomorrow I’m having leftover pasta (for once I didn’t eat double pasta tonight- the extra cooked for lunch- so I’m feeling very virtuous! 😆)

Seafood pasta followed by a cappuccino and some 90% dark chocolate.

MarxistMags · 07/05/2025 01:27

Well, someone asked what we were having for lunch....

MeltonInTheHeat · 07/05/2025 06:42

Today I am out at another office that has a very good canteen. It's curry day today but I am low carbing so they usually have grilled chicken and salads as well.

DilemmaDelilah · 07/05/2025 08:15

I was thinking about this as I had my breakfast today. I'm going to have some home-made soup and a cheese scone and butter. Both out of the freezer, so I had better get them out now. (It is nearly 8.15)

Soup is made out of leftovers and scraps of vegetables - I save them up in a reasonable bag in the freezer and then cook them together and whizz them up. DH refuses to eat it - most of the time it is quite nice.

Smoked mackerel with horseradish, green leaves and beetroot is a great basis for a salad.

I'm going to have a feta cheese and tomato omelette today.
