Chorizo, cucumber and gouda cheese on the left... strawberry, feta and balsamic salad on the right. A lovely colourful lunch for a cold rainy monday.

Oven roasted chicken thighs with a dry rub of Paprika, Cayenne, Cumin, Thyme S & P with a Baby Boccocini, Tomato and Basil salad.

Left over chili with loads & loads & loads of sweetcorn. Random but love sweetcorn & chili together. Then an 'Eat Natural Bar' with lots of nice almonds and cranberries and chocolate

Low-carb, high-fat (and very tasty) lunch at my desk today... eggs, chorizo, salami, prosciutto, tomato, cucumber, brie. I AM VERY FULL NOW.

I guess this will be weird but I have fried egg at lunch yesterday. I really love to eat eggs may it be boiled, scramble, have it on corn beefs and many others, but my favorite one is sunny side up egg.

Why would that be weird?

That was my thought exactly.

Mushroom soup for me today

Beans on toast - I'd forgotten how nice it is

Pigwidgeon · 20-09-2012 03:07PM

I went yo boojum with some friends today. Burrito with Mexican rice, pulled beef, tomato salsa, pinto beans, cheese and sour cream. So so delicious, I may never eat again though.

I've always found Boojum disappointing. The food is pretty flavourless and quite watery.

Tis my honest impression of the place. And I've been there a fair few times for various reasons so it wasn't a one-off encounter. I don't get the hype at all.

Haha, me too Dizzyblonde. Had not had it in ages and it was delish. I deliberately burned the toast a bit, let it go cold and a bit spongy. Poured on the hot beans, grated on some strong cheddar with a bit of salt and pepper. The ultimate comfort food isn't it?

Dizzyblonde · 20-09-2012 07:50PM

I burn my toast too, and heat the beans until the sauce reduces

Toast4532 · 25-09-2012 01:00PM

Mashed potatoes lathered in butter, salt, pepper and dried parsley and battered fish is what I will be having for lunch today.

Apologies, wasn't meant as back seat modding! Was just a bit of friendly banter!

Hey Irishbird - how do you make your cider vinegar dressing?:)

Getting there · 14-10-2012 02:38PM

Mushrooms and brief on toast with a bug mug of tea. Hmm sunday bunch!

homemadecider · 16-10-2012 08:55AM

Avocado, cherry tomatoes, red cheddar, white cheddar, port salut, brie, salami, chorizo and homemade chutney. I ate it in bed watching a movie like a right proper slob

Won't somebody please think of the children carbs?!!!

Merkin · 17-10-2012 04:05PM

Nyum, I love tapas/nibbly bits to pick on! How do you make your chutney homemadecider?

Faith · 24-10-2012 02:33PM

Recently, I've been having what I call "grown up lunchables" a lot. They're crackers, slices of brie and slices of apple all piled on each other. Yum yum yum! I'm probably putting on tonnes of weight from all the cheese and crackers, but I don't care!

Emeraldy Pebbles · 24-10-2012 03:59PM

Today I had well-seasoned steamed salad potatoes, poached chicken and feta in an oil, vinegar and lemon juice dressing. Very nice but could have done with something green.

Some mint would have been a nice addition too.

Dizzyblonde · 24-10-2012 05:17PM

Today I fried some chopped rashers, mushrooms, tomatoes and sliced onions and had it on toast

MissFlitworth · 07-11-2012 02:37PM

A lovely, hot Larp Ped from Kanum. Minced chicken, shallots, spring onions, lime, chilis, coriander, mint & apparently deep fried rice but I'm guessing ground into a powder or something. Gorgeous, healthy and slightly better for me than its more delicious brother Larp Gai which is pretty much a box of shredded roast duck.

Soft boiled egg & toast, cure for anything that ails me. Or at least a temporary distraction from a bug I've picked up this week.

Merkin · 16-11-2012 04:08PM

I made carrot, ginger and chorizo soup with chorizo crutons and had it with my homemade Irish seeded wheaten bread (with LASHINGS of Kerrygold butter). Very hearty and warming on such a chilly day!

I would literally sell my mother for a bowl of that right now. Are you in the market for a very nice Dublin lady who will knit you scarves?
