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.

3 eggs, scrambled. Half a red pepper and some cucumber. I will have a handful of cherries as an afternoon snack.

I weighed myself this morning, and subsequently am making attempts to reduce carbs, so no bread for me! Am bloody starving...

I’m on holiday so met my friend for lunch. Scampi and chips and mushy peas, large glass of Pinot Grigio, and a Diet Coke, sat in the sunshine.

Yep - the gravy for dipping did it!

@Westfacing if I told you a couple of roast parsnips also sneaked into my lunchbox, would you be even more impressed?

WiddlinDiddlin · 06/08/2024 15:55

Half a pepper, a big blob of Morrisons moroccan style hummus, couple of ryvita crackerbreads and I was going to have a nectarine but it seems to have gone from rock hard to rotten since I looked at it this morning, so no nectarine for me.

There was a small portion of macaroni cheese left in the fridge that I cooked yesterday for dinner. So I had that with lettuce, cucumber and olives on the side.

M&S prawn layered salad, and a bag of their salted popped chips, plus some of my toddlers ham sandwich

Leftover spicy chicken stew with black beans and sweetcorn and some brown rice. I forgot the little tub of cheese that was supposed to go with it though.

A wrap filled with a chicken breast, chopped tomatoes, caesar dressing and a bag of sunchips crunched up inside. And a chocolate protein pudding thing.
