Add a photo if possible, too.

Looking for some inspiration and being nosey in equal measure.

Today, I've eaten 3 rice cakes with butter, cream cheese, lots of onion (red and brown), rocket and cucumber plus half a tin of M&S cream of tomato soup.

Would love to see what others have had. 🙏🏼

Yes one massive tomato, I didn't have all it

Well I'm glad you weren't a glutton!

Reminds me of when DS1 was around 8, some 40-odd years' ago, you know when you're trying to drag out of them what they did in school today, said he had such and such for lunch and 'a' strawberry for pudding. ONE strawberry I said, yes mummy but it was a big one

Tuna and cucumber sandwich, not particularly exciting but it was on really soft, nutritionally worthless white bread which I try not to buy but is so delicious when it accidentally falls in to the basket!

Notevry1ishonest · 28/11/2025 14:47

Thanks all, these are giving me some new ideas and reminding me of things I've not had for a while, but love, such as peanut butter with green apple on bread/rice cakes and grilled halloumi.

I've got mozzarella to have for lunch next week, although I don't like fresh tomatoes, so I'll have it with onion and other salad stuff.

I've also got some goat's cheese that I'm planning to have on homemade flatbread (like a pizza) along with chopped, cooked beetroot and cheddar, plus other veg.

There was 2 sausages left in fridge (low fat ones if that matters) chopped them up cooked them with last of mushrooms and tomatoes, added a handful of wholewheat pasta topped with a sprinkle of cheese and jalapenos.

TheresOnlyOneWayOfLife · 28/11/2025 14:54

No photos as in ma belly. M&S egg, tomato & salad cream sarnie, packet of Tayto (cheese and onion of course) and some home made cauliflower cheese soup - not all at once.
Stuffed

Oh go on then, I'm just about to eat it so I can actually post a picture. Having one of those fun "oh crap I've got all this random shite in the fridge that I bought with good intentions but is about to go out of date what tf do I do with it?" lunches

Roast sweet potato, chickpeas and beets in harissa with some slightly sad rocket and a big splat of hummus.

This looks delicious 😋

Nopicturesallowed · 28/11/2025 14:56

No photo because I've eaten it but nothing exciting I'm afraid. A bagel thin with butter and honey and a coffee.

There's always one heathen who claims to eat fish & chips with curry sauce!

I think foodie threads bring out the worst in folk 😂

The curry sauce goes nowhere near the fish 😂

DaphneduM · 28/11/2025 14:58

Sourdough toast with shropshire blue and mature cheddar cheese, pear and apple chutney and an apple. The shropshire blue was delicious. No photo as I had this more for brunch than lunch.

RescueMeFromThisSilliness · 28/11/2025 15:01

A cheese & onion roll.

DuchessofStaffordshire · 28/11/2025 15:02

Long run day so grabbed a quick vegan protein shake with berries, chia, almond milk and PB. Followed if with a tin of sardines, rice cakes, beetroot, tomatoes and carrot.

momager1 · 28/11/2025 15:30

doing a fridge and freezer dump this week. I don't eat lunch but my husband does. I have 4 frozen pepperoni mozza spring rolls left, I have some potato skins that I will load with bacon, cheese and spring onions, one hard boiled egg that I will make into a devilled egg, and a small amount of cooked chicken breast that I will make mini quesidillas with. Side of sour cream and warm marinara . Yes he likes to eat hahaha. It is only 11:30 am here... so maybe around 12 or slightly after, i will take a photo

Sofasu · 28/11/2025 15:36

Made some mushroom soup. It was lovely but not hugely filling on it's own. I'm really hungry now.

Costco mince pie and hot chocolate.

WeJustWantYouToBeHappy · 28/11/2025 15:39

I made quinoa in the mini rice cooker with smoked garlic, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen spinach and a can of mackerel in olive oil. Lazy, filling.

Giddykiddy · 28/11/2025 15:42

no photo - i had a wrap with air fried spiced chicken, haloumi, felafal, humous and aolia - going away tomorrow and eating fridge contents

Meadowfinch · 28/11/2025 15:43

Home made Parsnip & apple soup, with creme fraiche and a dash of tabasco, with some wholemeal bread. And two tangerines.

HelpMeGetThrough · 28/11/2025 15:52

Zilch, but at lunchtime I did cook a wicked cottage pie for tea.

Just realised, I’ve not eaten since tea time last night. No wonder my Friday afternoon beer is hitting the spot. Must be careful not to screw up the client system database I’m currently prodding around in.

Passthecake30 · 28/11/2025 15:55

wholemeal pitta bread, carrot, pepper, hummus, a chicken breast. I’m trying to have a full portion of protein at each meal time to aid exercise recovery so some of these lunches wouldn’t work for me.
2 squares of chocolate

Pavlova31 · 28/11/2025 15:58

Chicken pie, Baked
Potato, Mixed vegetables.

Catpiece · 28/11/2025 15:58

Salmon paste and cucumber sandwich with pepper and vinegar on. Some Skips. Very retro

Fiftyandme · 28/11/2025 16:02

Beef burger in a bun with Mexican cheese, pickled jalapeños, TLO and mayo

JellicleCat · 28/11/2025 16:03

Four custard creams! I had a bacon roll about 10.30 so didn't want 'proper' lunch,
