I have asked before... I am now asking again... mumsnetters, what are you having for lunch?

I had white rice with curried lentils, spicy cabbage, and chutney. I wish I had some sweet treats in but I don't so will probably eat a spoon of jam.

2 slices of toast, 2 poached eggs.

Random salad using up the dregs of the fridge.
Three chicken mini fillets, a strip of halloumi, three new potatoes, five olives, cucumber, lettuce, peppers, grated carrot and dressing made of hummus, lemon juice and Greek yogurt. Was pretty good.

A boiled egg, a baby carrot, chopped into carrot sticks, cucumber rounds, miniature tomatoes, and some grapes.

I'm at work so went to the bakers along the road and bought a prawn and salad roll and an apple.

A whole grain baguette with relish, chicken, peppers and tomato

Mini chicken breasts I’d marinaded in Rose Harissa and added to a salad of rocket, beetroot, spinach, cherry tomatoes, watercress and red onion with a desert spoon of tabbouleh chucked over for good measure.

A tin of tomato soup, barely warm. Had a wisdom tooth out yesterday and terrified of it getting infected / dry socket so I'm on a liquid diet for a week 😭

I'm too late to edit my yoghurt frosting post, but I should've said that after I mixed it up, and before putting it on the cake, I refrigerated it for an hour or so to firm it up.

Now it's been on the cake for a while, it seems to have set in place a bit, so it doesn't seem to melt too much when taking the cake out of the fridge, slicing and serving it, or eating it.

Corned beef sandwiches (on tiger rolls!) with salad and salad cream. A packet of ready salted crisps and about to have a Blue Ribband 😃

I'm a bit obsessed with that cottage cheese and olive bread that's all over instagram at the moment, I probably make it once a week. So I'm having a thick slice of that with scrambled eggs

Buddysbunda · 06/08/2024 13:09

2 weetabix and a stick of kitkat dd gave me.

Tinned sardines in tomato sauce, with salad and chunky wholemeal bread. Followed by a fresh nectarine.

It will take me a whole 90 seconds to prepare 😊

gardenmusic · 06/08/2024 13:13

M and S salmon and broccoli quiche, sweet potato chips for husband, sugar snaps, broccoli, sweetcorn and carrots. Cup of tea, and for me a chunk of Toblerone.

Scarlettpixie · 06/08/2024 13:15

Wholemeal toast, baked beans and hash browns.

Bluevelvetsofa · 06/08/2024 13:16

Cherries, nectarine, grapes and raspberries with Greek yoghurt, a drizzle of honey and flaked almonds. Was going to add an apple, but it felt a bit overkill.

sweetpickle2 · 06/08/2024 13:27

A large slice of granary toast with some tinned mackerel, salad leaves, and cherry tomatoes on and a cut up apple with a spoon of peanut butter on the side for pud.

Part baked baguette with enough sainsburys chicken liver pate to leave teeth marks 🤣 .Every time i have it i think of the poster who had pate as a “ centrepiece meal” and couldn't understand why a tiny packet shouldn’t last for at least two meals !

Sahara123 · 06/08/2024 13:35

For four of them i think !

jay55 · 06/08/2024 13:40

I had a packet of salt and vinegar squares and a handful of pic n mix. Highly healthy.
