for lunch i am mostly eating the slop in the ucd cantine

bonkey · 09-01-2002 2:03pm

I try to vary my lunch.

Food can be too enjoyable to get stuck in a rut where you eat the same crap every day.

I guess the most common lunch would be a sambo, but it varies a lot.

erm, actually i was just trying to get some discussion, or at least some posts on the work board

hey, im a moderator, i feel i should at least try to 'entice' the punters in !!!

as for this topic, the board is underused and needs a few hits.
so why not post up something.
i just happened to be eating my lunch at the time.

by the way, yesterday i had a very nice tuna and sweetcorn panini fomr accorss the road.

tomorrow i think i will go for the sushi again but this time i will get the prawn box instead of the tuna one.
damn i love this place!!!!

on another topic, anyone here know what their rsi number ius off hand?

ok , ok, just asking like!

Washout · 09-01-2002 5:27pm

Lucutus · 09-01-2002 5:39pm

Breaded chicken kiev, cauliflower with cream sauce, roast potatoes and green beans.

Followed by coffee and a nice biscuit.

Beware the dried out rice!!!

Usually I have a sandwich (usually chicken), sometimes soup aswell, with a soft drink (usually a 7-up or bottled water). Followed by a bar of chocolate (usually a Kit-Kat). Sometimes I have a carvery-style dinner for lunch.

MarcusGarvey · 09-01-2002 10:02pm

Snap , Sushi from M&S !

tomorrow I'll be having microwaved rice, broccoli, chicken, a bit of omelette and some blackbean sauce.

Xterminator · 15-01-2002 1:21pm

Well i had lunch in the chinese resturant in abberly court.

It is an eat all you can buffet.!!!!!!!!!

Well the sping rolls, spare ribs, kung po beef, and chicken curry, and fried noodles made up the first plate. And even though i was stuffed, i forced myself to go back for chicken wings, another couple more spring rolls, and some vegetably stuff.

There was some stuff i couldnt identify .. but it was good.

So next time your going for lunch in tallaght ....!

kayos · 15-01-2002 1:49pm

Well I have yet to try the sushi meals but the sambos from M&S are good. Also there is a little Itailan place near Liverpool street that does good lunchs for about £3.50.

God darn I'm hungry again and I'm only after having my lunch

Victor · 15-01-2002 2:10pm

Today it's an O'Briens Sandwich Bars "Bacon and Chicken Tripledecker". Moany cows (sorry mod) haven't put (all) the prices in Euros yet.

swiss · 16-01-2002 1:35pm

*marches out of ranshackle dwelling*

This week, I'all be mostly eating...
potatoes (with meat and veg)

*lollops back*

Actually, that's it. Otherwise it would be a quick trip to the local chipper.

WhiteWashMan · 16-01-2002 2:09pm

oh, tuna and sweetcorn sambos and 500ml bottle of orange and cranberry juice.
and a mini 1.00 quid box of sushi

god im addicted to that stuff!!!
i may turn into a plate of rice and seaweed!

WhiteWashMan · 17-01-2002 12:57pm

actually, today im trying the vegetarian sushi.
so adventureous!

beardedchicken · 26-01-2002 1:54am

sugar packets - when i can afford it

azezil · 28-01-2002 5:43pm

I usually get the 'special' in the canteen. Today it was Spaghetti Balinese ... it was tasteless and watery, I think there may have been too much water in it

Only cost €3.20 n it didn't kill me, which is always a plus!

Victor · 28-01-2002 7:00pm

I was having a hospital check-up today and ate in the St. Vincent's canteen (after Mars Bars in DnC). 2 small cartons (250ml each) of milk and a decent helping of beef (good cuts) curry (mild, but not too mild) and rice came to the grand total of €3.00. The best part is the staff get a discount. The equivalent meal in Bagogt Street would cost in or abouts €9.00 (with not so many pretty nurses to look at).

Da Bounca · 29-01-2002 4:59pm

I thought pretty nurses were just a myth, I have never seen one.

MiCr0 · 29-01-2002 5:30pm

slightly OT but what do you think about your work canteens?
price?
quality?

our is pretty good.
you get a filled roll for 2.03e.
and dinner for 4.44e.
quality is fine for the rolls/sandwichs
they do a good brekkie aswell
dinner as anywhere can be a bit hit/miss.

MiCr0

btw to keep on topic
today i had chicken/stuffing/cheese/lettace/white roll

tomorrow i'm going to have ham/mozzeralla/roasted pepper panini *nyom*

Da Bounca · 29-01-2002 5:56pm

My usual is:
whitebread sandwich , cheese(grated), onion, tomato, ham, no butter.
Plate of chips with either side-salad or coleslaw.
Can of sprite.

Price: €4.12

not bad.

Beruthiel · 30-01-2002 10:50am

brown bread, brie, banana and apple - I fool myself into thinking if I eat healthy a lot it makes up the the other little vices which are not so good for me!

EvilGeorge · 30-01-2002 10:59am

Human flesh, banana and tar tar sauce

Victor · 30-01-2002 10:18pm

Today: Chilli Con Carne (Centra)

andell · 31-01-2002 3:20pm

YUK - V, the only thing centra is good for is fags and being open late when you're really really drunk.

(noodles btw)

Victor · 31-01-2002 3:59pm

Sorry, technically it wasn't Centra food, I just bought it there.

neuro-praxis · 31-01-2002 5:38pm

I had a sweetcorn, coleslaw and chicken baguette and a latté in the infamous Coffee Mill in Maynooth today. Usually its whatever slop the canteen is dishing up.

Although, lately they've had this delicious steak and mushroom pie...mmm.

I love vegetables, it's gotta be said...but in the winter I'm so glad I'm a carnivore - those hot wintery warmers like pies and stews are just so good and comforting.

Especially here in Maynooth where it never seems to stop raining.

po0k · 01-02-2002 2:53pm

Yesteray a Ciabatta with Turkey, Cheese, Cucumber and Spanish salad. €3.10 + Bottle of watter 80c
Picked up a packet of chewing gum too to clean my teeth as I go.

Today I have a choice between a nice sit-down lunch with some savage (read: good, v. good) nachos from 'Fat Freddies' (or maybe a nice fish & chips from the famous McDonaghs of Galway

) or a quickly made half-baguette filled with Southernfried Chicken Fillet, Cheese and Spanish Salad.

Failing that I'll wait till i go home and pop on a Goodfellahs cheese supreme
(with loads of other toppings I add myself - paprika and tabasco sauce being just some - ooh and parmesan cheese, red+green chopped peppers and some left over sausages from this morning which i can chop and throw on at the last second to reheat them)

nyom is too insulting an understatement for the culinary delights on which I dine........

Super noodles used to be my primary food group, now I find I can turn almost anything in the kitchen into something feckin tasteh and worthy of my comsumption.
I hate celery with a passsion though. Cn't even smell the stuff without gagging.

andell · 01-02-2002 3:29pm

SyxPak, I have never heard anyone get so excited or descriptive about food before. Have you go the muchies???

po0k · 04-02-2002 11:17am

Well, I basically have a very light breakfast (benefit = 5 mins extra sleep), damn all till 1-3 pm then grab something nice for lunch. Home, and cook myself dinner, or eat whatever "Mammy" has left in the oven waiting to be heated up....

The infamous Christmas quintupple decker is truely a sight to behold

needs its own special bread. Not too moist or it'll fall apart, not too small or its capacity is comprimised and not too dry or it won't stick to the roof of your mouth. Sausages in toast with a little bit of mustard and ketchiup ios savage in the morning...can be had going out the door.

I like my munchies. You're all hungry now. I own you...:D

andell · 04-02-2002 11:31am

SyxPax

My brother has just started a job in Galway and he is v similar to you in eating habbits (specially sausage thing with mustard).

You guys should get together and go out for dinner....

I am thinking of one of those "all you can eat for £4.50" Kinda places............. (mmmmmmmmmm) (not)

po0k · 04-02-2002 5:19pm

I believe the 'sausage factor' is a common trait amongst galwegian men. Moreso amongst me.

andell · 04-02-2002 5:35pm

(Gasp)

He went to Edinburgh Uni and was introduced to such vices as "the deep fried mars bar" and a few other vile creations. If only you were a lass, t'would be a match made in heaven. (Don't go all funny on me, I'm not impling you or he is gay. Still, you'd be hard pushed to find a lovely girl to eat that sort of thing.......although I am a self confessed choco person....I'll stop ranting now...1/2 till going home time!!! (no, i'm not still at school, I meant going from work)

po0k · 04-02-2002 9:29pm

I find Curry-chips&cheese are my own new found personal vice.
Bastid ruined my life, and yet enhanced it so far pst its origional boundaries......
They are my staple for Galway LAN parties, that and cider

Not surprising student_boy! (Nice photo btw)

Aye, my girl is also a Nurse (and GORGEOUS)

andell · 06-02-2002 2:33pm

today I had a cray fish and roquette sandwich from Pret a manger. Yum. and a diet sprite

Victor · 06-02-2002 3:20pm

You had a rocket for lunch?

azezil · 06-02-2002 9:28pm

Every day in college there are two main options, apart from the usually chips sausage beans etc.

1. the €3.75 option which is usually a decent meal, plain but decent eg today it was cabbage backon and spuds

2. the €3.10 "mass made slop" which is always given an interesting name, and always sounds good! eg todays chicken in black bean sause...

the "mass made slop" always looks and sounds like the better option, and i always go for it, and it's always awful!

Some of the horrors:
Curry with tomatoes - watery, tasteless ... with feckin tomatoes!!!
Chicken in blackbean sause - too many carrots spoiled the taste.
other times there'd be too much garlic, but generally its the lack of taste.

suppafly · 09-02-2002 1:17pm

I was quite suprised to find that the food at my college is actually mostly eatdible. I would normally get chips, some ice creamy mash and then gravy all over it! or else i would just for the toasted ham & Cheese option. But are pretty good.

pugwall · 10-02-2002 3:55pm

A tin of cheap peaches !:eek: ......nyom nyom.......tasty.......:D
A tin opener and spoon = essential...........can get messy without!

for lunch i am mostly eating....
