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.....

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

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.

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

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.

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!)

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.

Sandwich made with a large hard roll from bakery, 1/2 tomato sliced, Genoa salami with v large peppercorns, and a pasting of herbed goat cheese.
Funnily, it's the same thing I had for breakfast. I do love this sandwich.

By this time my lunch has been thoroughly processed and will reappear in a few hours as a homogenous residue with somewhat higher concentrations of sulpherous byproducts than it had when I ate it.

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

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.

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.
