To tell you about my dirty lunch?

[NancyDonahue]

I have a day at home alone today. Upon mooching around in the fridge just now, I delightedly came upon a few left over roast potatoes from Sunday lunch. I've just popped them in the oven and am planning on crushing them, adding grated cheese and smothering them in mayo.

My defence for this dirty lunch is I'm full of cold and ravenous. I deserve it.

Anyone else having a dirty lunch? What's your excuse?

If you want to do something really dirty with leftover roast potatoes you need to fry them up with the processed pork of your choice.

Best way is leftover pigs in blankets and roast potatoes after Christmas Dinner (stuffing balls optional) fried up in beef dripping, goose fat or whatever you have to hand, but in the absence of those, bacon, black pudding or chorizo is all good.

It.is.just.food. There are no 'bad' and 'good' foods, just food. Dirty, cheeky, greedy, cheating should never be applied to food.

Just polished off a cheeky super dirty guilty malt loaf.

No bacon or sausages in the house. I thought about frying an egg to top it off but the smell would have lingered all day and alerted dh to my dirtiness. A true dirty lunch is a secret affair.

I'm having a scotch roll with thin layer of butter, lovely thick layer of lemon curd and filled with wotsits.. yum!

Oh flip, I have avocado, I could have sliced one up as an extra layer of loveliness.

Sigh. clearly I will be forced to use up the rest of the fish fingers in a more creative way. yipeeeeeee!

I am having lunch in my hospital canteen. Everything they serve is dirty!

I know this is a lighthearted thread, but why does it matter if DHs know if you've had roast potatoes and fried egg for lunch .

It's not particularly weird, unhealthy or disgusting, so why hide it from him?

I can understand eating in secret if there isn't enough for two and you don't want to share, but I can't see any other reason for being secretive about what you eat.

Glad you enjoyed your filthy feast

You were very restrained re the egg

I’ve just fried some pieces of bacon, red onion, halloumi, chickpeas, green pepper and smothered it all in salt, pepper, chili flakes and lemon juice. It’s goooooooood!!!

In my defense I am nine months pregnant!

Dirty lunch is a fine description.

Just had to put a jacket potato in the oven, which I'll slather in butter and cheesw. OPs lunch made me hungry.

HTF do you spend £17 in the chippie for one person?!?

Well, you get on a train to London...

How about reheated instant cheese and mustard mash with leftover Thai chicken breast? And a pint of tea. Something extra dirty about reheated instant mash that makes me ashamed to say it.

i did have porridge, but I ruined its wholesome image by adding quite a lot of double cream and sugar
filthy it was

Known amongst my colleagues as Porn food, never heard the expression dirty lunch before.
Sounded good and way nicer than my peanut butter sandwich

Sounds amazing! I have Christmas Dinner Curry from the freezer! Its Delicious!

It wouldn't be a dirty lunch if dh knew about it.

I'm sure he does the same when he's home alone. Good on him

Piss off with the "light hearted" as well. It doesn't give you a free pass for total inanities.

Someone's been sipping the vinegar.

I'm having a toastie with cheese, sweetcorn and sweet chilli sauce. Magnificent!

I love vinegar on plain pasta

tra la la la

Why "crushing", "smothering", "dirty"?

Read a few too many Nigella books?

Presumably she's going to y'know, crush the potatoes?

Hahaha well at least we can tell who's had lemons 🍋 for lunch.

I'm pregnant and had GD with my first, so I'm stuck with being boring. Either a pret soup or trawling the shops trying to find something easy that's also less than 20g of carbs; actually not that easy when you're also veggie 😭

If I could have anything filthy it'd be my old filthy standby: filthy packet of filthy microwave rice (pref uncle ben's spicy Mexican) with jalapeños, walnuts, cashew nuts, and grated cheese or cream cheese stirred through it. Sadly I don't think I'll ever eat rice again, fucking insulin, fucking pancreas :(((((((

Fish fingers, potato waffles and beans here. DS kept me up for most of last night ( tries to justify it) Just don't tell the salt police cos he had it too!

squoosh

Before stifiling or obscuring them with mayo?
