so, whats for lunch?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 23 January 2003 14:58 (twenty-three years ago)

it was various buffet type sandwiches (well, quarters anyway) mainly beef and horseradish. But now, to soothe my savage throat I have a big lump of nummy ice cream

― chris (chris), Thursday, 23 January 2003 15:10 (twenty-three years ago)

mushroom canapé followed by jugged hare with sauté potatoes and lemon sorbet (in a real frozen lemon no less). With a carafe of the house red. My boss took four of us out for lunch today for 'all our hard work'. Nice.

― MarkH (MarkH), Thursday, 23 January 2003 15:21 (twenty-three years ago)

The menu was varied and eclectic. Today, for some reason, my tastes were not. I had a plate of brussel sprouts.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 23 January 2003 15:37 (twenty-three years ago)

a lunch box full of carrot sticks. i'm not on a diet or anything but i have a load of carrots to use up in the next couple of days. oh, i had an orange too. i will be ruddy starving by tea time.

― rener (rener), Thursday, 23 January 2003 15:38 (twenty-three years ago)

A packet of Quavers and two wee Mr Kipling apple pies. I have strange eating habits recently, it worries me.

― smee (smee), Thursday, 23 January 2003 15:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Also, you will be orange.

I'm eating lunch with everyone from work after a mandatory meeting. Mandatory lunch. But at least we're going out to a restaurant instead of being forced to eat something someone brings in.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 23 January 2003 15:42 (twenty-three years ago)

I meant rener will be orange, not smee.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 23 January 2003 15:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks for clearing that up, I was even more worried!

― smee (smee), Thursday, 23 January 2003 15:44 (twenty-three years ago)

canteen carrot and potato soup and some leftover rigatoni and bolognaise sauce from home

― leigh (leigh), Thursday, 23 January 2003 15:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Er, something. I still haven't even had breakfast.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 23 January 2003 15:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Leftover stir-fry from last night featuring cashews, snow peas, chicken, lots of very hot peppers, and orange zest.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 23 January 2003 15:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I had SWEDISH MEATBALLS (one of which was suspiciously pink on the inside, I did not eat it), a TON of spicy chickpeas and some broccoli in honour of the famed BOND d00d. Also I had a carton of Ribena, choosing to SHUN the Irn Bru which has so far been my lunchtime subsistence of choice.

I am now drinking cough medicine because I am a crip.

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 23 January 2003 15:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Something called, laughably, a 'risotto bake'. It wasn't even made with rice!

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 23 January 2003 16:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Food From and Inspired by Risotto!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 23 January 2003 16:08 (twenty-three years ago)

I went home and made sandwiches. hmm, Chunky Dairylea triangles.

― Graham (graham), Thursday, 23 January 2003 16:11 (twenty-three years ago)

They've got some sort of neanderthal superbowl buffet thing going in the cafeteria today, which I want no part of for $6.50. I guess I'll have a bowl of soup.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 23 January 2003 16:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Leftover pasta.

― rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 23 January 2003 16:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Baked salmon and mange tout (salmon was on special offer when I went shopping today, it's going to be a Salmon Stake Week)

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Or Steak even.

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Also, you will be orange.

hooray! tomorrow i will eat some spinach followed by a granny smith. this could be FUN!

― rener (rener), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm going to feed my non-size 28 ass by going to get pizza with sundried tomato pesto, spinach, mozarella, and artichoke hearts. Boo-yah!

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Mmmm... I just had a roast beef sandwich with a side of potato salad from the deli across from work. Usually I don't go there cuz it's a bit expensive for what you get but since it's colder than Hoth out ("Your tawntawn won't make it past the second marker") I decided to stay close to home.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:40 (twenty-three years ago)

ramen noodles, but that was sort of disappointing for some reason. i wonder what's for dinner....

― Maria (Maria), Thursday, 23 January 2003 18:33 (twenty-three years ago)

chicken caesar salad and Diet Coke

― felicity (felicity), Thursday, 23 January 2003 18:34 (twenty-three years ago)

I feel genuinely sorry for people outside the north west of England in that they do not have "Sayers". It's your one stop pasty shop, so beloved by a friend of mine that he bought an entire tray of their veggie sausage rolls last time he was here. From your stalwart Cheese and Onion Pasty, to the rich goodness of a Steak Slice and the awesome but unfortunately seasonal Turkey and Stuffing pasty, it is one of the wonders of the modern world.

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Thursday, 23 January 2003 18:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Ham sandwich and a Belgian bun.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 23 January 2003 18:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Instant soup and Vegitarian bacon cheese chips.

― brg30 (brg30), Thursday, 23 January 2003 20:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Roast pork and Chinese broccoli.

― j.lu (j.lu), Thursday, 23 January 2003 20:27 (twenty-three years ago)

some veggie sushi with an unholy amount of wasabi. and a glass of orange juice with wasabi in it. ok, no, i didn't put it in the orange juice, but i probably would've if i had thought of it at the time.

― geeta, Thursday, 23 January 2003 20:29 (twenty-three years ago)

I wanted Sean to answer but he's probably off shaving the carrots.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 23 January 2003 21:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Grilled chicken and pasta, and now I'm having a hot chocolate (I can't stop drinking these lately).

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 23 January 2003 21:41 (twenty-three years ago)

I want a double double from In 'N Out with fries and a chocolate shake... I'm having a chinese chicken salad. Damn.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 23 January 2003 21:43 (twenty-three years ago)

"shaving the carrots"

huh huh huh

(I forgot about that!)

― Kim (Kim), Thursday, 23 January 2003 22:56 (twenty-three years ago)

You're only just having lunch??

B-b-but it's nearly bedtime.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 23 January 2003 23:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Prix-fixe Indian lunch on 6th street right next to the door so it was freezing where Matos and I charmed (bored) our lunchmates with frequent refereces to the joys of ILE. I had vegetable korma. MM had chicken something, I think. I also had really good spicy tea, but they forgot to put the milk in it as I asked so I couldn't be all Anglo-Indian.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 23 January 2003 23:55 (twenty-three years ago)

What the fuck?

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 27 January 2003 05:45 (twenty-three years ago)

I wanted Sean to answer but he's probably off shaving the carrots.
In reality, I have absolutely no clue what this is supposed to mean, but it sounds like it should be on the pubic hair trimming thread. I know that I grate carrots and sometimes use a veg peeler to put thin strips of carrot into salads, but...

To answer your question, though, I barely ever know, but it usually falls into one of these categories:
1) Asian noodles with vegetables and chicken
2) MACdonalds or something, on the days when I'm bad
3) Nothing at all but coffee, on the days when I'm at my worst

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:15 (twenty-three years ago)

grating the carrots, my mistake.

Geez, your a few days behind, keep up.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:17 (twenty-three years ago)

These pretzels are making me thirsty.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:18 (twenty-three years ago)

grating the carrots, my mistake.
I still have no clue what this has to do with me. I don't think I've ever talked about carrots around you.

Geez, your a few days behind, keep up.
Oddly, I don't read every thread. Someone (ahem) had to point this out to me before I realized that some baseless speculation about me was taking place here.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:51 (twenty-three years ago)

You were describing all the steps involved in making your salad for lunch the next day and why you could not stay.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 27 January 2003 15:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I must have had more beer than I thought. Holy.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:04 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm actually more surprised that you remembered that than the fact that I said it, considering what I heard about the rest of the evening.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Im bad at pool no matter how much I drink.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 27 January 2003 16:20 (twenty-three years ago)

The answer today, by the way, was Teen Burgers from A&W. You can hear my arteries hardening, probably.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 27 January 2003 20:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Spinach pie, yum!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 27 January 2003 20:52 (twenty-three years ago)

spinach pie is great!

i made a greek salad and am baking bread now

days off = roXoR

― geeta (geeta), Monday, 27 January 2003 21:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Perhaps the "shaving the carrots" innuendo happened after Sean left? We were getting a bit silly, and I might have been concussed from that fall I took. We're bad people.

― Kim (Kim), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 04:50 (twenty-three years ago)

today, a chicken burrito and red power ade

That sounds good!

I've got rubbish economy Sainsburys Cauliflower Cheese because the good stuff was in a bloody tin package that couldn't be nuked! Drat!

two months pass...

SO... MUCH... MEAT! OH, GOD! MAKE THE MEAT STOP!

― sunburned and snowblind (kenan), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 22:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Just had a wrap from Star Chicken (which is like the future of semi-fast food).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 22:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I had... OH, GOD!... a beef and meatball combo sandwich. The bread was purely decorative.

― sunburned and snowblind (kenan), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

You ever eat something that just makes you feel like less of a human being? That's where I am. I am a pathetic, bloated sack of meat. I'm going to have to waddle home today.

― sunburned and snowblind (kenan), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 22:16 (twenty-one years ago)

eggplant/chicken/tomato sandwich and cold tea.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 22:20 (twenty-one years ago)

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 22:48 (twenty-one years ago)

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO ATE ELEVEN POUNDS OF MEAT TODAY? You're all making me feel worse. This is the gluttony commiseration thread.

― sunburned and snowblind (kenan), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 22:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Potato wedges, baked beans, 97 English Pence. The staff cafeteria can do some things right.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Thursday, 17 March 2005 14:23 (twenty-one years ago)

sage & fennel frittata w/ cous cous salad, tenderstem broccoli, and fennel coleslaw.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 17 March 2005 14:28 (twenty-one years ago)

cold, barely steamed broccoli lightly dressed w/ olive oil is one of the absolute best things ever.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 17 March 2005 14:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I had a bridie. Now I have indigestion. It was worth it.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 17 March 2005 14:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Mmmm fennel. I feel the need to roast things.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Thursday, 17 March 2005 14:36 (twenty-one years ago)

last night's dinner: salad w/ romaine lettuce, roasted peppers, grilled chicken, fresh mozz. for dessert, spotted dick, which reminded me of a starbucks gingerbread latte, but better and not as nutmeggy.

― sexy waitress connie stevens (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 17 March 2005 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

― koogs (koogs), Thursday, 17 March 2005 14:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Today we're having BIG OFFICE ST. PADDY'S DAY/BIG BASKETBALL GAMEDAY POTLUCK. Some of the offerings include: corned beef and cabbage, soda bread galore, shitty overcooked green beans, some kinda rice pilaf with lots of green things in it, a big bread bowl of kick-ass spinach dip, a bunch of other crappy crap prepared probably late last night in anger by my coworkers, and blue koolaid! And we get to watch a basketball game on a big tv and not do like JACK SHIT at all!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 17 March 2005 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Two clementines and two Ryvita crackers with some cheese.

should I get vegetable lo mein or try the mushroom-cheese sandwich at the deli?

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:58 (twenty-one years ago)

fuck, it's gotta be the sandwich, I need some veggies.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Leftover sesame ginger fettuccini with asparagus. It will be a delight.

― ianinportland (ianinportland), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I had a salad from Rocky Roccoco's for lunch, but we're making shrimp po' boys for dinner!

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Do you ever wish you could cross-list your posts onto multiple threads. I just revived a "fake meat" thread with what I'm having for lunch.

Jordan -- Rocky Rococo's? Are those still around? We used to have them in the Chicago area and then about 15 years ago they all turned into Pizza Huts.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:22 (twenty-one years ago)

What I've had to eat today by n/a:
Breakfast - cup o' coffee
Midmorning snack - reduced fat Cheese Nips
Lunch - avocado, pretzel nuggets, RC cola

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, they used to be all over Wisconsin but I think there was a culling at some point. There is one in the mall where my office is, right down the hall. Luckily I've stopped eating the greasy blocks of pizza they serve there in favor of the salad bar.

Even better, though, is the Rocky Roccoco's Party Pizzeria by my apartment. They serve beer and have air hockey (and a movie theater for kids, but who cares about that) there!

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I keep having these really disgusting-smelling burps.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 19:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Leftover pizza, Old English.

― kirsten (kirsten), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 19:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I still have half a sandwich! I believe I will step outside for a moment and eat it. It's quite nice out today.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 19:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Shrimp Etouffee
Red Beans and Rice
Broccoli and Shallots
Jalapeno Cornbread

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Jeez! I thought pizza and Old English was a good lunch. I usually have a handful of peanuts or something.

― kirsten (kirsten), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 19:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Gabbnebb wins at lunch.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 19:30 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm not in the mood to walk all the way down there and back, but my mouth is watering for more of the great cheap mexican food i had last night. i'm thinkin' shrimp tacos:

― cindy williams permafrost (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 19:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I had Italian sausage, on a pita, with tzatziki, onion, and tomato; street vendor, Queens Boulevard.

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 19:33 (twenty-one years ago)

dear person who's supposed to call me back: please call soon so i can go get lunch and i won't miss your call again because my cell phone is buried in my bag.

(nabisco, that sounds heavenly.)

― cindy williams permafrost (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Asian Cole Slaw
Grilled Asparagus w/Garlic and Soy
Roast Chicken Leg

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 19:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Gyros
Cherry Coke
Strawberries (from home)

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 19:40 (twenty-one years ago)

The sandwich was pretty good, although it was supposed to have fresh mozzarella on it but they were out, so I had provelone instead. It also had a good tomato, basil, cucumber, and basalmic dressing on it, and the bread was quite nice. I got sleepy after I ate it and took a couch nap, I hope nobody missed me at work.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 20:32 (twenty-one years ago)

couch nap!

I am green with envy.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 20:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Gyros!

I am hungry with envy.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 20:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Er.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 20:45 (twenty-one years ago)

no lunch

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 20:46 (twenty-one years ago)

CWP/JBR: It was not so heavenly, being from an old man on the street and all. But I must say that I'd never considered doing Italian sausage like a gyro, and it turns out to be a good idea -- the tzatziki does a good job of cutting any fatty or greasy tendencies in the sausage itself.

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 20:50 (twenty-one years ago)

lunch was a $2.99 turkey/provo kaiser from fry's (the supermarket not the electronics chain). and a propel "fitness water," lemon flavor.

― cindy williams permafrost (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 00:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Lunch is right now, and it is a chicken breast marinated in soy and honey that I fried and sliced up, over a bed of jasmine rice with some stir fried leek, spinach and mushroom.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 01:08 (twenty-one years ago)

three months pass...

I had fried chicken, the food of the gods.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 29 August 2005 19:46 (twenty years ago)

i skipped lunch, but for dinner i'm making a "semi-homemade meal" (tm) out of some trader joe's squash soup and some oyster mushrooms i got a crazy good deal on at a dodgy produce market under the 3rd avenue el, and there's other good stuff in there too. caraway seeds! they make everything awesome!

― ian quiche-lorraine (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 29 August 2005 20:24 (twenty years ago)

boring turkey sandwich and a cherry yoghurt

― Yes, I have heard of pizza (nordicskilla), Monday, 29 August 2005 20:25 (twenty years ago)

We had some uh... I forgot. Ratatouille! That's it. With rice and baked minced meat.

― nathalie's pocket revolution (stevie nixed), Monday, 29 August 2005 20:29 (twenty years ago)

This is one of those days where it seems like there isn't enough food in the world.

― Yes, I have heard of pizza (nordicskilla), Monday, 29 August 2005 20:29 (twenty years ago)

Lunch was a tomato sandwich, some chips (crisps) and a Reed's Ginger Ale. I crave bacon, so tonight is going to be bacon, biscuits and gravy, and fried eggs. Possibly a pot of coffee also.
