Thing. I always eat Thing. I seldom eat anything except Thing.

Except for when I eat pizza.

― kate, Wednesday, 16 April 2003 12:25 (twenty-two years ago)

please describe "thing" - is it quorn?

― james (james), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 12:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Thing is a strange combination of fried onions and eggs and cruciferous vegetables and either rice or noodles smothered in some sort of vaguely Oriental sort of sauce.

I never seem to eat anyThing else. Except pizza.

― kate, Wednesday, 16 April 2003 12:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Fruit and yoghurt salad. And a boiled egg.
Fried rice with green onions, vinegarar, salt and eggs are GRATE!

― nathalie (nathalie), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 12:34 (twenty-two years ago)

i had to buy some bread but realised i had no money so walked out into this FANTASTIC weather and took mini dv cam with me filming whatever was ahead of me as i walked, got the Central line one stop to nearest Sainsbury's and bought a fresh wholemeal granary loaf, irish cheese, McCoys crisps, the beverage of cherubs that is Vanilla Coke, and one of those long cream doughnuts, and some grapes - and thats my lunch today

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 12:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Diet coke. I can't handle the cafeteria food here at work.

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

i eat the same thing every day...bagel & creamcheese, crisps, and chocolate bar.

except today! i had yummy meze, and got to sit out in the sun, and had lunch with 2 friends. horray.

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

probably salad sandwiches

― di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 12:40 (twenty-two years ago)

stevm has the best lunch so far - not to mention the best life by the sounds of it

― james (james), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 12:57 (twenty-two years ago)

A pre-packaged BLT sandwich that was probably manuafactured and flash frozen 3 weeks ago. Had a Snickers Cruncher as well - num!

― robster (robster), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 13:01 (twenty-two years ago)

i have a pizza in the oven.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 13:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Today it'll be a veggie burger on this bad-ass sun-dried tomato bread & a spinach salad with these fuckin ripe ass tomatoes and the BOMB DIGGITY miso dressing. I think this makes it one week now I've gone vegetarian.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 13:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, congratulations Nick! Hope that works out well for you. :-) I am still omnivorous but I figure most of the world will have to go veg anyway soon enough.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 13:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Today I had a toasted BLT made with smoked pancetta slices and with the extra secret ingredient, onion marmalade.

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 13:34 (twenty-two years ago)

suzy that sounds simply fantastic - what bread?

― james (james), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 13:49 (twenty-two years ago)

My fingers are buttermilk-smelling from turning over the steak which is in a buttermilk/sriracha/yellow-tomato marinade. That'll be lunch, once it's cooked and stuff.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 15:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Bread was just a normal bloomer loaf, but cut by me and toasted. Then lubed with mayo on both and marmalade on one side, the pancetta, tomato, and 'herb salad'.

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

i am in the midst of trying to decide right now. the options in this area are not too hot. i will probably end up going out for thai curry, even though it is a little x-pensive.

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm thinking two big slices of pizza and a bench somewhere sunny, but it's gonna be tough because this whole neighborhood is like just alleys stitched together. Also hot pizza = not rite for sunnyness? Should I get some kind of cold pasta salad from Ze Tuna instead? WHAT WILL I DO??

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 15:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Congrats, Nick!

I think I'll buy a slice of pizza today as well. The Italian joint down the street just started serving deep-dish spinach by the slice, and it's quite tasty. Though I'll probably be sick of it in a couple months, since there are so few dining options within walking distance of work.

Oh, I also brought in a Fuji apple from home. You know, to cleanse the palate.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I had various bits of sandwiches having been on a course all day, a bit of green chicken (chicken in a strangely nummy avocado dressing), some beef and onion and some ham and cheese, accompanied by orange juice and red crisps (they are actually red, and very nice - plain, no flavouring other than a wee bit of salt, how I like them).

Couldn't go outside though :o(

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 15:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Thing sounds absolutely divine. I'm in desperate need of some Chinese/Asian (or styled as such) food and Thing sounds like a good kin of a fried rice or lo mein noodle dish. Since I'm another omnivorous person, however, and love shrimp fried rice, I think I would add some shrimp to Thing.

(Although it's a strange thing -- I don't eat red meat. I only eat chicken & seafood. That's still a long way off from being veggie, though.)

Today, my lunch consisted of the Chicken McNuggets Mighty Kids meal, which is a perfect size if you're into Chicken McNuggets but don't want to overstuff yourself with the big adult 10-piece meal. Lunch had enough calories in it already; I don't want to wake up one day weighing 16 stone at my height (5'8"). Anyway, it was fairly decent, as all Chicken McNugget meals are.

I already know what I'm having for lunch tomorrow -- the mandarin chicken salad from Wendy's with a vinaigrette dressing. Now that is a lunch I can look forward to.

― Dee the Lurker (Dee the Lurker), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 15:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Boston mackeral bento box from Sunrise Mart, with potato salad and egg plant on the side. The overpriced Cutie magazine was not included.

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 20:01 (twenty-two years ago)

My daily work lunch: ciabatta with ham and cheese, mini mars bar for dessert.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 21:47 (twenty-two years ago)

FUCKING NOTHING. I HATE LOW BLOOD SUGAR.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 22:15 (twenty-two years ago)

tend to either go out and have decadent lunch or sit at desk and suck down coffee & sandwich (or usually just coffee)

today - no bkfast, no lunch and many slices of pizza in evening

― H (Heruy), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 22:27 (twenty-two years ago)

three months pass...

Terra Chips and a Cherry Garcia bar from Duane Reade.

I have just noticed for the first time that Terra Chips taste exactly like uncooked Ramen noodles.

― felicity (felicity), Thursday, 24 July 2003 17:11 (twenty-two years ago)

― Millar (Millar), Thursday, 24 July 2003 21:50 (twenty-two years ago)

"surely they can't mess those up!" i said to my colleague. he merely raised one eyebrow.

― MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 12:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Since I've been STOOD UP by a young man much feted on these boards, I am eating Pret's open parmesan, basil, avocado and tomato sandwich. It's like 4 different food allergies in one handy meal!

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 13:15 (twenty-one years ago)

"surely they can't mess those up!"

they didn't - best canteen meal in ages.

― MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 13:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Japanese Indian Meat + Sauce (translation: Dawg Fewd) splattered no steamed rice. Then red bean soup with some mochi. Equally mediocre. After that half a Leo (sort of Kit Kat but MUCH BETTAH!). I have a stomach cramp. Multiple ones. HELP!

― nathalie (nathalie), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 13:29 (twenty-one years ago)

our server is apparently on the brink of death, and we have had to shut computers down for 30-90 mins at a time through the last few days. so i took a break from the daily bagel and walked down to m&s and bought a tomato, avacado, mozarella sandwich. and chocolate covered peanuts. yum. so sleepy now, though.

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 13:45 (twenty-one years ago)

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 16:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I was gonna order in a nice Veggies W/ Garlic Sauce (xtra spicy, no celery) from my local Chinese place but I feel bad for the delivery guy (it's FREEZING in NYC right now), so I'll probably trudge out and pick it up.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 16:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Half a bottle of St Emilion.

I'm in a strange mood today.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I go through the lunch dilemma every single day. Maybe steamed chicken and veggies. Maybe soup. Maybe ... (here's where I wait another hour before deciding).

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 17:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Some curried chicken that I made last night. My department's going to love me.
