What did you have for lunch thread - NO BLOG LINKS & NO PIC QUOTING

Kimia · 22-09-2010 1:16pm #1

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

az2wp0sye65487 · 22-09-2010 1:25pm

Brought in some of last night's leftovers!

Spaghetti Bolognaise.

Kimia · 22-09-2010 1:27pm

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

Dizzyblonde · 22-09-2010 2:21pm

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

The Hill Billy · 22-09-2010 2:25pm

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

Shenshen · 22-09-2010 3:40pm

I made some vegetable gulash on Sunday, so I had leftovers from that.

admiralofthefleet · 22-09-2010 6:26pm

ham cheese and mustard sammiches

UrbanSea · 22-09-2010 7:24pm

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.

WesternNight · 22-09-2010 9:43pm

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.

kylith · 22-09-2010 10:00pm

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

nyeb2007 · 22-09-2010 11:40pm

rasher and grated cheese bagel with chilli mayo

yum!!

Mary-Ellen · 23-09-2010 8:26am

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

kylith · 23-09-2010 9:51am

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

John Mason · 23-09-2010 11:47am

today i will be having yesterdays leftover korma with quorn chicken bits.

himself said it is really tasty, i am dying with a cold and cant taste a thing:rolleyes:

UrbanSea · 23-09-2010 1:36pm

Today I will be having nothing due to reasons outside of my control (lol,not,see post up the page)
I will be having the same in the 'Here's what I had for dinner last night' thread.

Malari · 23-09-2010 1:47pm

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.

squeakyduck · 23-09-2010 2:07pm

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:

The Hill Billy · 23-09-2010 2:09pm

Pork burgers, polenta & string beans.

kerash · 23-09-2010 2:15pm

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

Faith · 23-09-2010 2:36pm

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!

xzanti · 23-09-2010 2:41pm

Burger King

Double cheeseburger meal with coke and a chocolate milkshake

CathyMoran · 23-09-2010 2:55pm

Portion of microwave pasta and mayo at 12, hope to get some protein in later...am a really bad eater, eat whenever my son lets me! May have a decaf coffee with a splash of milk now.

WesternNight · 23-09-2010 5:43pm

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

Miaireland · 23-09-2010 5:46pm

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

nyeb2007 · 23-09-2010 10:14pm

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

kylith · 24-09-2010 11:54am

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

boodlesdoodles · 24-09-2010 12:27pm

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!

Kimia · 24-09-2010 3:35pm

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!

The Hill Billy · 24-09-2010 3:54pm

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

nyeb2007 · 24-09-2010 4:25pm

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

kylith · 24-09-2010 4:35pm

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

Either famine or feast, eh?

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

neuro-praxis · 24-09-2010 5:17pm

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.

Faith · 24-09-2010 11:42pm

Homemade chicken soup

az2wp0sye65487 · 27-09-2010 1:40pm

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.

bambera · 27-09-2010 2:19pm

I had two lunches today. My first one was a jam sambo and then my second one (am still eating it) is a €2 chicken goujon baguette from dunnes

Dizzyblonde · 27-09-2010 3:38pm

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.

kylith · 27-09-2010 4:19pm

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.

It really was

Mellor · 28-09-2010 6:02am

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

dlambirl · 28-09-2010 11:49am

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.

boodlesdoodles · 28-09-2010 12:27pm

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

kylith · 28-09-2010 12:49pm

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.

John Mason · 28-09-2010 8:24pm

homemade bread and cheese boring but delicious:)

Loopy · 29-09-2010 10:49am

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

allandanyways · 29-09-2010 6:57pm

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.
