My dad had a last-minute client meeting so he didn't come into Manhattan today. I am at a total loss, and I look to you, ILE, for MIDDAY MEAL SALVATION.

NB all i have consumed so far today is a latte.

Pastrami sandwich.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 27 February 2003 17:47 (twenty-three years ago)

you should have one of those New York deli sandwiches, with nice cheese and loads of salady stuff.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Thursday, 27 February 2003 17:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Egg and Cress sandwich, followed by a Danish Pastry.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 27 February 2003 17:51 (twenty-three years ago)

do not listen to these british mentalists with their "salad-y stuff" and "egg and cress"...you eat a nice cheesesteak, honey

Turducken

Please, please, please Maura, for the love of all that is holy, don't eat anything that starts with the word "Turd".

Pastrami would be much better. With some good horseradish mustard...

this is not the banal conversation thread, mr. jess.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 27 February 2003 18:28 (twenty-three years ago)

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 27 February 2003 18:36 (twenty-three years ago)

you had the crisps in the sandwich? That's hardcore!

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 27 February 2003 18:37 (twenty-three years ago)

its an unbeatble combination jel.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 27 February 2003 18:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Tuna and Cucumber sound really good. Mmmm.

Instead of a Danish Pastry, you should have a Pasty Dane.

Maura! What did you have for lunch???

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 27 February 2003 19:07 (twenty-three years ago)

I just had a brie sandwich and water, after a 30 minute workout.

― hstencil, Thursday, 27 February 2003 19:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Turducken?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 27 February 2003 19:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Turducken is great. Nothing sums up Southern cooking better than looking at a bunch of meat and going, "You know what would go great with this? More meat."

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 28 February 2003 03:57 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm about to have the Health Valley Cantonese Rice soup. Ever had it? I think it's a new flavor.

I'm so brave!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 10 March 2003 17:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Good luck!!!

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 10 March 2003 17:45 (twenty-three years ago)

I work one block from a cooking school, so at lunch it's $6 for all-you-can-eat food from the classes there. Always some very nice cakesm and lots of interesting dishes, which often have failed to come off.
But much more interesting than bagging my lunch or going to the nearby deli.

― Amateurist (amateurist), Monday, 10 March 2003 17:46 (twenty-three years ago)

It must get better as you go through the year though. mmm colapsed soufle.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 10 March 2003 17:50 (twenty-three years ago)

I am eating the rice now, and it is good. Thank you everyone for your support during this exotic time.

mmm tomato soup. is there anything more comforting than the tomato soup + grilled cheese sandwich combination? preferably under a blanket on a rainy day, and oh god i'm so twee i want to puke.

― the urban heat island effect (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 15 July 2005 10:10 (twenty years ago)

I am at a loss with today's lunch. I just know I'm going to have a bloody bagel again (side effect of working near Brick Lane), but all the wheat is making my stomach stick out like a hampsters cheek.

― Anna (Anna), Friday, 15 July 2005 10:20 (twenty years ago)

wake up at 3:30: not hungry, eat breakfast anyway

at work at 6: hungry. wtf?

I brought apricot scones though, yum.

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 15 July 2005 10:23 (twenty years ago)

actually now that I think about that for two seconds I know what happened, that early morning food jumpstarts your metabolism, right?

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 15 July 2005 10:24 (twenty years ago)

4:24 am. i'm hungry; should i eat a banana? i haven't eaten anything for 13 hours, save for some apple juice.

― the urban heat island effect (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 15 July 2005 10:26 (twenty years ago)

Just don't get what I got.

I went to the caff and got a "roast aubergine and mozarella" cibatta thinking it would be healthy. The aubergine came out of a jar, dripping with oil. It was the greasiest thing I've eaten in a long time. Sigh.

― MIS Information (kate), Friday, 15 July 2005 10:27 (twenty years ago)

Yes. Eat it Jody.

― Anna (Anna), Friday, 15 July 2005 10:28 (twenty years ago)

just did.

what stinks about bananas is that once you buy a bunch, you only have a few days to eat the whole thing. i love them frozen (and dipped in chocolate!) but i'm not sure i'm freezing them the right way. alton, tell me what to do!

― the urban heat island effect (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 15 July 2005 10:33 (twenty years ago)

I thought you couldn't freeze bananas!

They go black and poisonous.

or am I thinking of spiders?

― MIS Information (kate), Friday, 15 July 2005 10:34 (twenty years ago)

from a science site:

Why does freezing a banana make it so brittle? Because bananas have a very high water content. When the banana was frozen, millions of tiny ice crystals formed. These crystals were not attached very well to one another because they each started growing at different spots and were not well-aligned. Scientists call crystal interfaces such as these grain boundaries.

The presence of many weak grain boundaries makes it very easy to shatter the banana. A good comparison is trying to break a large block of solid ice (one large crystal) versus breaking up a bag of ice cubes that are stuck together.

In addition, freezing the banana damages the cell walls and membranes, making them much weaker than normal. It is for reasons such as this that human cryonics - the idea of freezing a dead person and reanimating them in a few centuries, will likely remain science fiction for at least another several hundred years.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 15 July 2005 11:32 (twenty years ago)

too late then. Harry M's just north of oxford street in market place does a pretty decent salt beef sandwich, although it could be a little saltier. (good tongue, potatoe salad and chicken noodle soop with knedlach as well)
