    Since we have a 'Here's what I had for dinner' thread, can we have a Here's what we had for lunch? I am always looking for ideas on good healthy lunches to bring in with me so hopefully this will take off! Photos always nice too :)

    I'll start: M&S Quiche Lorraine and a kinder egg

    Brilliant, if this thread takes off that means loads of ideas for 'batch-cooking' to bring in the next day for lunch!

    I've just had a bowl of lentil soup that I made a huge pot of earlier - with home made milk loaf dipped in it.

    And a packet of Walker's cheese & onion crisps :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,799 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    Smoked sausage, boiled spuds, sauerkraut, brussel sprouts & creamed leeks.

    I'm in college and have ran out of money due to alcoholism.
    I therefore had half a bag of Haribo I had left over from Monday. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,286 ✭✭✭WesternNight


    I had a shallow-fried chicken fillet and some delish multi-grain brown bread. Very much a "what do I have in the house" job today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,736 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    Leftovers from last night's dinner; stuffed steak with roasties, and a salad - half from Lidl, half from my garden.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 145 ✭✭nyeb2007


    rasher and grated cheese bagel with chilli mayo

    I'm having salad: iceberg, tomatoes, cucumber, mozzarella, red onion and black olives with balsamic dressing.
    I've become slightly addicted to mozzarella.

    Probably with a ryvita cracker with cashew nut butter for dessert :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,736 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    Today I will be having a tin of tomato soup with brown bread, and a lettuce and nastirtum salad.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 10,661 ✭✭✭✭John Mason

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,150 ✭✭✭✭Malari


    I HOPED to have the leftovers of the last night's mushroom risotto, but there are never leftovers in our house, no matter how much I make. My boyfriend just loves home-cookin'!

    Instead I had cheese and crackers with grapes, followed by yoghurt and granola.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,766 ✭✭✭squeakyduck


    I'm gonna have some chicken dippers and chips! I'm not the best cook! I'll have to take a leaf out of yer books lads! :pac:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,688 ✭✭✭kerash


    Sammich - 2 white sliced bread, spoon of tuna, spoon of coleslaw (dunnes) grate of cheese, iceberg lettuce, onion.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,657 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    I'm having lunch for dinner today because I got a serious amount of exercise already today, so I'm having pasta with bacon, peas, carrots, sweetcorn and garlic with sour cream. Tasty!


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 10,441 Mod ✭✭✭✭xzanti

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,286 ✭✭✭WesternNight


    My mother treated me to lunch, bless her. I had fried fillet of haddock, chunky chips and a lovely big salad. Nom.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,065 ✭✭✭Miaireland


    I had smoke salmon sandwich with salad and a handful of crisps.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 145 ✭✭nyeb2007


    Had homemade veg soup and ham, cheese, tomato and red onion panini


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,736 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    Today will be 2 eggs (1 duck, one hen) scrambled, brown bread, and a salad of lettuce, spinach and cherry tomato.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 569 ✭✭✭boodlesdoodles


    Today is homemade carrot and coriander soup with brown bread and a ham, cherry tomato and cheese sandwich to follow. Can't wait I'm starved!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,897 ✭✭✭Kimia


    What's the difference in taste between a duck egg and a hen's egg?

    I would like to know this too! I've never had a duck egg and someone gave us a half dozen from his own ducks today but I'm not sure what's the best way to eat them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,799 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    I get duck eggs occasionally & love them boiled just like a regular hen's egg.
    They're also great for baking.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 145 ✭✭nyeb2007


    get some everyweek, they are a little stronger tasting than hens eggs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,736 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    Duck eggs have a much richer taste than hen eggs. The yolk is oranger and when they're boiled the white has a denser texture than hen eggs.

    I don't find them great for frying, but they're amazing boiled or scrambled.

    Tell ye what: if ye buy a half dozen and try one and don't like it I'll take the other 5 off your hands, no problem :D

    Either famine or feast, eh? :p

    I had some Ryvita with cheese and the nicest cup of tea I've had in ages. Simple, but did the job.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,184 ✭✭✭neuro-praxis


    Today I had a chicken caesar bagel from the Bagel Factory - granary bagel, toasted, with caesar dressing, rocket, chicken, parmesan and roasted red peppers. Yum.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,657 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith

    Just had 2 small (fresh) wholegrain baps, with some thick sliced ham (from the fillet that I boiled last night) and a little brown sauce. And a mug of tea! simple, but tasty!

    Now for 'dessert' i have an apple and a banana.


  • Registered Users Posts: 356 ✭✭bambera

    Yesterday I had a hog roast sub with stuffing, apple sauce and onions from the stand at Howth Market - they have a whole pig on a spit and it tastes amazing :)

    Today I had a ham sandwich and a bowl of home made Italian tomato soup.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,736 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    Today was veg in what should have been some kind of omlette, but turned into some kind of scrambled egg thing. No matter, it tasted good.

    Tuna Chilli that I whipped up myself via the work microwave. Was delish and now into the regular lunch rotation. Came up with it because the shop was out of john west tuna and beans


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭dlambirl


    I normally bring stuff from home, but yesterday I hadn't time so I got a crummy Super Valu roll - Butter, mayo, salad, cold chicken (they hadnt hot) and coleslaw.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 569 ✭✭✭boodlesdoodles


    Today I'm having homemade roasted pepper soup with brown bread and a ham salad to follow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,736 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    I'm trying to decide between the chicken salad I brought from home (it'll be yummy but won't fill me up) or a yummy, filling tuna melt from O'Briens.

    I think I'm leaning toward O'Briens. I'll leave the salad in the fridge and bring some bread and dressing tomorrow and it'll make a better lunch then.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 10,661 ✭✭✭✭John Mason


    homemade bread and cheese boring but delicious:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,220 ✭✭✭✭Loopy


    Yesterday was a tuna melt with lots of red pepper.
    Today a chicken salad I reckon..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,960 ✭✭✭allandanyways


    Today was homemade guacamole but I put way too much onion in it, so it wasn't as good as usual. Had it with some tuc crackers and then had a big bunch of red grapes. Nom.
