I've just come back from my local Sri Lankan restaurant - chicken biriani complete with yoghurt dip, special fried rice and mutton gravy all for the pauperly sum of four pounds.

I've had the lunch of my life, and I've never felt this way before. Oh yes indeed. So describe your ideal lunch to me, the more salivatory the better. Go on, make my dinner.....

I think you'll find this game is properly called Lunch Trumps.

― Emma, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That should have been the real title of that Manics album bearing in mind what a fat boy Jimmy is now. I don't know. I guess something like Chinese or Thai, so I can get one of their nice fancy beers too. You know that aromatic duck with pancakes and plum sauce? Yeah that for starters. And then I guess Prawns with Chilli and Salt, and Fried Rice. Pretty sweet.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sausages and heavily buttered mash with a great slosh of onion gravy and a pint of cold lager at the side. Consumed in the pub whilst the test match resumes after lunch.

― Jonnie, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Taco Bell. Again. And I wonder why I'm gaining weight...

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jonnie, Trevor, I live in San Francisco, where you can get almost anything to eat, but I'm fairly certain I couldn't get either of those lunches no matter what I was prepared to pay. They both sound delicious, however.

There's not that many places to get lunch around my office... I'm probably going to be stuck with a boring sandwich again.

― Sean, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My favourite lunch would be Jason Pierce. I'll have that with some extra mayo. Thank you very much.

― nathalie, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i hate you bastards with good restaurants near your place of employment. our only options are fast food, italian, and about 60 variations on 'taste-free deli sandwich'. so all of you eating curry for lunch can bite me.

― your null fame, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

so all of you eating curry for lunch can bite me.
Why would they? They have curry. (har har). Across from work is a Japanese restaurant. A little down the road is a vegetarian restaurant. Further down is a Moroccon restaurant. Then we also have an Italian on the corner. hmm What else? About a dozen chocolate shops.

― nathalie, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"My favourite lunch would be Jason Pierce. I'll have that with some extra mayo."

Jason Pierce fair enough, although I had no idea that the starved junkie look was still in vogue - that's soooo 1998. But Simon Mayo??!!! Pur-lease. And *extra* Mayo at that! You, madam, are a masochist.

And Sean, I don't care if you live on the breadline sir. You live in San Francisco dammit, isn't that enough for you? Take my word for it, East Ham comes an extremely poor second, although it is a cultural melting pot and the plethora of cheap restaurants are divine.

― Trevor, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

pastrami on rye grilled cheese on sour dough (the deluxe diner broadway and 112th) salt beef and mustard bagel (brick lane) avella's special roast beef (round the back of regent street) toasted ciabatta roats beef cheese pickle horseradish

― Ed, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

today i had chili. and it was not good. my lunch is generally not good. since finding a parking space at the university is next to impossible once the hordes of mamas and papas boys and girls with their graduation jeeps roll in, i typically have to grab something in the cafeteria. luckily i get to eat it at my desk, so i dont have to be surrounded by the students. (either anorexic girls complaning about the fat content of lettuce or thick meatheads talking about weight they "need to put on for the game.' i am not kidding. and this job is not making me bitter. i promise.)

― jess, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, as promised, I had a sandwich. It wasn't a bad sandwich, but not a particularly good one either. How I pine for a curry or those sausages with mashed potaotes and gravy!

― Sean, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Today: Roast duck, egg fried rice and mixed vegetables, with lashings of extra hot chilli sauce, washed down with a pot of Chinese tea.

Not quite as succulent as yesterday's Sri Lankan offering, but a worthy 9 out of 10 nonetheless.

Trump that.

― Trevor, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Today I want Jason Pierce with Kevin Shields. hah!

― nathalie, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A skinny and a bloater. Nice combination.

Presumably you'll be asking Mr.Shields to "Feed me with your kiss", n'est-ca pas? If you ask me, I think he's looking a little *overkissed* as of late.

― Trevor, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

april's leftover chips and a (non-diet) coke

― mark s, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mark, you ate chips that were five months old??

Total gross out!

― Trevor, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the chips are meh: i'm all about the moulds and fungi...

― mark s, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think I'm going to *lose* my lunch.....

― Trevor, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

1st day at work @ "Worldwide Plaza" a very tall building on 49th St. Eschewing the company cafarteria I get a BLT from the closest deli that still has the grill on. After literally *minutes* of frying bacon, etc. they give my sammy to someone else. So I read the New York Post, which is all they had left, while I wait another whole 5 minutes for a new one. Christ.

I also picked up a bag a Pirate Booty which suXor to high heaven.

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I bag of microwave popcorn. Not much of a contribution towards my RDA of the main foodgroups but only 190 calories and very filling, huzzah!

― Madchen, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pirate booty comes in bags? Strewth!

Today my lunch was a personal pepperoni pizza. I'm angling for the health award, I am.

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I cancelled out my Healthy Choice Chicken Picatta entree & peach w/ half a bag of Combos and a Sobe Green Tea. Yes, I'd like the cherry cheesecake, please, but with a DIET Coke, please. And get a Diet Coke for Dan, too - he's getting a bit pudgy.

― David Raposa, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"I cancelled out my Healthy Choice Chicken Picatta entree & peach w/ half a bag of Combos and a Sobe Green Tea."

david has just happened upon the dillemma of the university bookstore supplies buyer: free JUNK - samples, extras, overstock...oh the humanity. (oh the flubber?)

― jess, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Would you like cheese on your whup-ass, Mr. Popshots? *assumes rockin' kendo position; techno soundtrack bumps into high gear*

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

MORTAL KOOOOOOMMMMMBAAAAAAAATTTTTT!

::t99-style riffs kick up in the background::

(sorry, couldn't resist.)

― jess, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I found an Indian place downtown! Had chicken massala for lunch. It was terrible.

― Sean, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was so hungry today that cafeteria food was heavenly. That's what I get for eating a cereal bar for breakfast. I had cheese pizza and orange juice.

― Maria, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

today i had take out chinese food, and then snogged (christ, i hope that means what i think it means) with the girl i went on the date with the other night. (she had sweet and sour breath, but it was okay.)

― jess, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

snogging = cockney for felching

― mark s, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

you're a very bad man mr s

― Ed, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'LL say. (i don't even know what the hell felching means. talk english, damnit.)

― jess, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Pan Asain Platter
Pad Thai , Cocunut Rice, Kim Chi, fried eel .
All put in sqaures and circles on a green platter with a cocunut matt underneath.

― anthony, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i had that and it is GOOD !

― anthony, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i thought that's what feltching was for a minnit. damn time zones...wake up you brit bastards!

― jess, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

felching = scouse for snogging, i.e. anthony's description is correct

Erm, not really. Hey, I'm awake. I consider myself a very small pocket of PST timezone stranded here in Britain. However, I couldn't possibly be so indelicate as to answer your question directly, but I fear it is best that you do not consult Google on the matter (especially not if you're at work), so I'll just point you here. (I didn't know it was UK only, though, but then I've never needed to discuss it with Americans before. I still can't believe that US people don't understand "taking the piss"; they all, eh, took the piss for the next three hours because they thought it was a dead posh English way of saying "taking a piss". Bah!)

― Rebecca, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

So if felch = merely slang, what is the proper Queen's English for this activity hey?

(I like the way the defn uses "one": "one's recently deposited [etc etc]")

Have you EVAH happened on someone who uses the phrase "furry muff" for "fair enuff"? It is real Colin Hunt stuff. I know Pete will now start but I think this slang dictionary compiler just invented it.

― mark s, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

one month passes...

Today = Pokemon spaghetti shapes on toast!

― james, Sunday, 28 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

on toast? this strange dietary phenomenon is new to me.

― Maria, Sunday, 28 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yep! it's a modification of baked beans on toast. We eat almost anything on toast!

― james, Sunday, 28 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That is so weird.

I waited until 2 for lunch (it practically killed me) and had fresh ketah. I ate almost half a loaf and I WANT MORE. NOW.

― Maria, Sunday, 28 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yesterday we ate fruit,cheese,cookies,chocolate, and deer sausage in the lobby of the conservatory.

― anthonyeaston, Sunday, 28 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

james, is it actually toasted or just a euphemism for bread?

today i put left over sesame chicken on a slice of anchiovy pizza.

(yeah, you heard me.)

― jess, Sunday, 28 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah! It's actual toast, with melted butter as well.

Surely, I can't be alone in eating pasta shapes on toast?

― james, Sunday, 28 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The addition of toast to any meal improves it immeasurably. Or at least that's what my flatmate thinks. He's had curry on toast before. Mind you, this is the same guy who eats salad cream with everything.

― RickyT, Sunday, 28 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

two months pass...

Reviving this thread because I am going for lunch in FIFTEEN MINUTES and, my deres, I am AS HUNGRY AS A HOBBIT with no LEMBAS. I want pasta shapes on toast. Especially Pokémon ones. I have a tin of Pokémon pasta shapes which I use as a bookend. GOD I want some now. I will HAF to go to TESCO at lunch p'raps. But I WILL NOT go to BENJYS this lunch cos when I went this morning THEY HAD NO TEACAKES.

― Sarah, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

mm, lembas. or in my case organic carrot and parsnip and ginger soup hurrah! Sarah i shall look at your LotR links anon...

― katie, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

do not have the pasta in the canteen here today. the sauce has parsnip in it. yeuch. i am SO hungry now.

― Alan Trewartha, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I had curry the other day for lunch and it contained brussel sprouts (which I don't like) surprisingly it was delicious, and I have back up on this, Madchen found it equally surprised. Of course this was in the Hare Krishna curry house on Soho street.

― chris, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My 'not hungover as in I haf a headache but do not feel top of the wurld' state necessitated a trip to BurgXoR King and it's friend Mr Spicy Beanburger acommpanied by the charming Miss LARGE FRIES corrr luverly. I also bought some MINI ROLOS as they were a neu! NOVELTY to me but they were a bit poop. I wish to have chinese food. Some won ton soup would be soopah.

Do they have all varieties of Seabrooks crisps there Suzy? Farringdon Road = miles from my manor usually or either DESERTED CREEPY PLACE OF WEEKEND and if they've only got sea salt flavour I can get that from Tesco. MORE FLAVOURS MR. SEABROOK.

― Sarah, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

erm Sarah, you may well want to lookie here

― chris, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

SWEETCORN FLAVOUR CRISPS!!!!!

STOP THE MADNESS

― chris, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oops - a bit of a cross thread mind freeze going on there, I should have asked that in the other thread. Yeah Cabbage I saw that but I would prefer to get them locally rather than order m'self up a big box although if there was no other choice then p'haps I'd consider it. Who's up for SARAHS TUCKSHOP? I can also get in some MR PORKYs pork scratchings-CHING-CHING!!!

― Sarah, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I've never eaten a packet of pork scratchings in my life. I think I was dissuaded by hearing that joke about the leper with a chronic itch.

― Trevor, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Maybe I'll go to the local pho place for lunch. Mm.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm having a soy shake for lunch.

― Ally, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Cold roast lamb sandwich with honey mustard. Yogurt. & an apple

― electric sound of jim, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

today i went to the diamond deli and i had a spinach-and-feta pastry, with the biggest bowl of hot chocolate.

― di, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

TORMENT ME NOT

― N., Monday, 1 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Try the ciggies, Nick, but tear off the filters first. It's quite nice for an overall "body" buzz.

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 1 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I AM HUNGRY. Should I have the English Breakfast sandwich or some kind of salad nonsense?

― Sarah, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i champion the Cafe Nero all-day breakfast sangwich

― Alan Trewartha, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hmmm we have a Coffee Republic/Costa/Starbucks on good ole VS but I think the nearest Cafe Nero is on the Strand! Also rather pricey... Prets breakfast sandwich is a corker, as is SNAX all day sammiche. But I should be healthy... hmmm I believe the PRET all day sammiche has CRESS in it or some mentalism like that - that makes it healthy, yes?

― Sarah, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I haven't eaten. I spent the only EURO I had on cigarettes and I now regret it. I might just go home since my options in college probably involve eating a disgusting spar vomit roll or going to the canteen and inevitably meeting someone who'll watch me eat. Also if I go home it's free.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It was going to be boring low fat M&S sandwich at desk as I am hugely busy today ... but I am also stunningly hungover, so the need to escape is pressing.

I am glad other people hate others watching them eat.

― Anna, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't mind people watching if I'm eating out. Its when I'm slobbing around at home I don't like my habits to be scrutinised.

― Pete, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ronan, do you have a little screen you set up on the dining table during family meals so no-one can see the food entering your mouth?

― RickyT, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

In the end MY LUNCH = all day breakfast sammiche from PRET (bad bad bad) DERE GOD looking on the Pret website I see that it is 670 calories?????? DERE GOD that is even more than SUPER CLUB fcuking heck. Haf also had BANANA and some Japanese Rice Snacks are waiting for my greedy mouth. DERE GOD!!!! Double cheddar has 727 calories????????!!!!!!

*phones gym*

― Sarah, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No I don't mind my family seeing. It's more if I'm trying to talk, or something, I just feel uncomfortable eating in the company of others. It's not that unusual, I know a few friends feel the same.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

apple + banana = i am the learned pig

― mark s, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I had a Pret tuna nicoise wrap (icky) and honey granola & yoghurt pot. How many calories in this Sarah? Cannot be arsed to look for myself. Hopefully not many so I can begin to battle the France- induced bulging. How come the French are so bloody skinny? I know they don't eat that lardy stuff all the time but still.

― Emma, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ronan, didn't you start a thread about hating ppl watching you eat? cos i wanted to resurrect it but ILE search failed me :( i often eat odd things like avocados or a bag of lettuce or, like today, a Mexican Bean Slice from Holland & BArrett's (tasty but *burp* so filling!) and my boss INVARIABLY gives me the third degree about what i'm eating ("oh that looks nice! what is it? where did you get it from? does it have a lot of fibre? i always love buying this that and the other" etc etc etc), usually WHEN I HAVE MY MOUTH FULL and then she'll giggle and say "NO! you have to answer me NOW while your mouth's full!" and i have to endure this nearly every day and it is driving me POTTY.

even when i ate soup every lunchtime for about 5 weeks she wouldn't let up. i mean it's fucking SOUP for chrissake. how fucking VARIED can Sainsbury's vegan selection BE?

sorry. just had to get that off my chest.

― katie, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think it was called bizarre phobias.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

In total Emma that is 720 calories!!!

― Sarah, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

in the event, i had chicken doner kebab, aubergine salad dip stuff (moutabel?) with pita, 1 packet of Love Hearts and a pint of milk. perfect nutritional balance. all the major food groups: milk, chilli, sherbet and chicken fat. first lunch of the year outside on the "grassy knoll"

― Alan Trewartha, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yikes! That is way too much! I am doomed to eat fattening food for all eternity!

― Emma, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm eating it now. a burger which I fashioned from mince that was in the fridge and onions and stuff all stuck together, that's served with chips which got burnt while I was looking for............garlic bread, in the freezer.

I also plan on having ice cream for dessert.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I know, Pret is EVIL! Not as evil as my Japanese Rice Cracker snacks though which are FOUL and I only got cos they were on special offer GRRR.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have just spend an edifying & horrifying 10 minutes looking up the calorific value of my fave Pret sarnies. I am going to have to run MARATHONS to work this lot off! Oh why is my metabolism so useless?

― Emma, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It seems that it is all in their mayo, that thing with the 'miraclemayo' hem hem is about 200cals less than most of the others! Egg mayo is alright but FEH that's not a huge delight to my heart really. Their salads are all under 500, more around the 300 mark so they're not bad. DERE ME when I think of all the calories accumulated lunches have been... sigh.

― fat fat fat, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have just eaten a Pret coronation egg sandwhich thing. It was misguided. Eat coronation egg Emma, you will never want to eat a Pret sandwich ever again. I no longer trust them.

― Anna, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

pret coronation egg is indeed vile. i have just had a flashback to the taste YUCKYUCKYUCK. i think i only ever ate a few bites but it was only because it was IMPOSSIBLE to stomach the rest.

the best thing at pret is the pret salad sandwich, and also the chocolate fudge cake. yummy. oh and also the crisps.

― sandy, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

blimey anna the LOOK (and then the concept) of the coronation egg made me veer back towards ALL DAY SOSSIDGE or whatever it's called... ie i had no need to put it into my mouth to know it was horrid (© Things My Mutha Done Told Me When I was Wee)

i like the idea that if a shop stocks ONE THING you don't like you must never eat any of its wares even when you do like em

i put abt three stone on when i used to eat a healthy pret yoghurt every day as a good yoga breakfast

― mark s, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I was very disappointed to go into Pret following a long Pret famine and find that they had binned Coronation Chicken (=timeless classic num num) in favour of fecking Coronation 'Egg'. Yick. Whose bright idea was that? I never eat egg sarnies in the office anyway.

― Emma, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah but Pret Coronation Chicken was more like Coronation Almond, such was the amount of nuttage in it.

― RickyT, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Double Cheddar or Pret Salad for me. Num num num all the way to the fat camp!

― RickyT, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hahaha if you google for Benjys Sandwich THIS VERY THREAD comes up on the second page heh heh.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I miss Coronation Chicken. I might start a campaign to reintroduce it, running alongside my BYGIL campaign.

On the other hand if I am trying to lose weight I might want to think of some non-food related campaigns.

― Emma, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I was feeling experimental, I put my trust in Pret A Manger and then they failed me. It also looked less likely to transfer big lumps of lard to my thighs and tummy. (Please don't tell me the calorific value Sarah, ignorance is bliss etc etc). Pret have now moved into my Bad List Of Irrational Boycotts along with:

Magazines that put Mariah Carey/ J-Lo on the cover. People who talk about Weight Watchers at parties Oasis (the shop) Theme bars Avocado

― Anna, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

WHy are you bootting avocados? I can join this boycott for I have never bought one and if it has a good source I can say I am doing it to save the world.

Never trusted 'em.

― Pete, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And why Oasis the shop? Though they are our deadly rivals I quite like them.

― Emma, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

avocado = green butter. nutritionally

― Alan Trewartha, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I did say irrational.

Oasis - used to work there when I still lived in Wolverhampton, they were always very nice to me, but I reached breaking point with the dreary brain dead people who only ever wanted black boot cut trousers. Lots of them go there - Oasis, damned by association.

Avocado - I found a dead one at the back of the fridge once and vomited on the kitchen floor. No fruit should have that strong an effect.

― Anna, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Are you stubborn with your boycotts Anna?

I got a giving out to today for my boycott of this "club" in Dublin called the Palace. Ugh.....it's terrible, but the point of the story is I haven't been there for 4 months, YEAH, and my class seem to go there every week, so I was told how stubborn I was today. I'm quite pleased with myself, truth be told. It's a horrible hole, full of people with their collars up.

I also boycott taxis whenever possible, however this one is harder to keep up obviously. Though there are good night buses. I boycotted a few classes for the last 8 weeks or so aswell. fight the power man.

I am strict in my irrational boycotts. I'm sure I've told ILE I returned a copy of Glamour that had J-Lo on the cover.

I stick to my rational boycotts too though.

― Anna, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i hereby declare Ms Starry Sarah "Employee of the Month" then. just do a search on the word "sammiche"!!!

also anna i applaud yr boycott of the HEINOUS and EXECRABLE J-Lo.

also Alang you are COMPLETELY WRONG about the nutritional value of avocadoes. sure they are the fattiest fruit, but they are an excellent source of Vitamin E and essential fatty acids, and nowhere near as fattening and heart attack-provoking as butter. SO DON'T DISS THEM!

― katie, Wednesday, 3 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yaayy AVOCADO, take that haterz!! and salad. and my boss is away so no 3rd degree, hurrah!!

Avocados do taste rather nice (when mixed with other stuff, deathly dull on their own) but something about their beetle-like carapace scares me. And they are frightfully middle class.

― Pete, Thursday, 4 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Pete's determination to stick to his class roots in culinary matters is (partly) the reason for his love of Spam & other such monstrosities.

― Emma, Thursday, 4 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I fear she may be right readers.

gabbneb you must start reviving the lunch thread with all the cursing instead. Much more diverting.

― kenan, Thursday, 22 May 2008 20:29 (seventeen years ago)

While there may be a place for the profane among our brethren, I dare say that it is a twitten down which I might prefer not to venture.

― gabbneb, Thursday, 22 May 2008 20:43 (seventeen years ago)

ok, I guess "twitten" sounds a little bit dirty. Maybe. :(

1x tiny tuna sandwich, 1x tiny smoked salmon & cream cheese sandwich, 1x tiny chicken and bacon sandwich (we're talking 1/4 slice of bread size), 8 crisps, 2 chunks of pineapple.

Yes it was a lunch meeting at work today and the cake plate passed me by while I was furiously minuting :(

Still, on Monday I had huge bowl o noodles with all sorts of lushness in, so I guess the universe balances itself out...

Everyone here brings Danish sandwiches (open-faced, dry, and insufficient, IMO). I've taken to bringing the same salad every day: spinach, an apple, a carrot, a little bit of blue cheese, & some cashews. So that is what I had today, with a couple dried cranberries thrown in, as well as what I will have tomorrow and probably the rest of the week.

― Maria, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:01 (seventeen years ago)

Leftovers! Half a steak, half a baked potato, and a bunch of BBQ'd veggies - mmmm.
