    If you like that sort of thing, it might be worth trying this (note that this is a 20 pack):

    https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S

    You need a saucepan to make it (so not office friendly unless you happen to have a staff kitchen) but it's cheap as chips and tastes great. An easy and fast lunch option (boil water > simmer for 5 minutes > serve). Been my lunch of choice lately when I'm working from home.

    Just eat it off your wife's plate. Problem solved.

    Everyone knows something eaten off someone else's plate has no calories in it.

    The three stages of human social development according to HHGTTG.

    Survival - How will we eat?
    Enquiry - Why do we eat?
    Sophistication - Where shall we have lunch?

    This is going to sound a little odd, but is there actually a way to make good Cheese on Toast?

    My usual method is to toast one side each slice of bread, take it off the grill, then place the slices of cheese on the un-toasted side. Put that back under the grill then wait for that to melt, whist it toasts the other side. It sounds right and tastes good, but is that the 'proper' way to do it?

    You need a dash of Worcester Sauce.

    I just go for plain and simple. Cheese. On buttered toast. Under the grill. Out when it bubbles. The most important bit is the cheese. None of this flavourless "mild" stuff. Has to be a salty extra mature. Then a squirt of tom ketchup. End product not too soggy but not too stiff ;).
    Right up there with a cornish pasty and meat feast pizza as my favourite snacky meals.

    A pasty is not a snack.

    True. Two pasties might be considered a snack. Three or four a meal.

    They used to do a version with a "hint of spice" but they stopped production of it. Shame.

    Yes, if the cheese is right you cannot get cheese on toast wrong.

    However putting tomato ketchup on anything other than an actor playing a corpse is wrong.

    What about chips? Even having a dollop of it to dip them in beats smothering them in vinegar.

    Nope. But on the fish part of fish 'n' chips: most definitely.

    See also: burgers, hot dogs, bacon sarnies.

    I don’t eat tomato sauce because I’m not a five year old who wants sugar on everything.:)

    All chips need is salt.

    Yes, I don’t like vinegar on chips and yet I like salt and vinegar crisps. Even I can’t figure me out.

    And a bit of chorizo, spread some tomato puree on the bread before the cheese and sprinkle some oregano and some diced olives and jalapenos.

    Forget Brexit or Marmite. This is the essential question.

    Do you like poor quality tomato, mixed with sugar and vinegar left to congeal in a cupboard for months or are you a normal person?
