What Time Is Lunch?

None whatsoever. Carry on.

 

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

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.

 

Mods, please close this threada and start a new one. Thread has drifted onto the topic of what is/was lunch.

 

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?

 

Post-societal collapse - Who do we eat?

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

That’s an offal diet.

 

I disagree but I admire you for taking a strong position.

 

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

 

Me too. The 'don't like/like' bit, not the 'can't figure out'. Although...

 

You're wrong.

 

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.

 

You've spent too long around Meister. Ketchup is for eating with everything.

 

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?

 

The first one.

 

Do you have functioning taste buds, or are you Moose?

 

I do and I’ve a very sweet tooth. But that’s pudding.

 

Enough! Mods!

 

Both.
Marmite also great.
Brexit, not so much.

 

What are you saying ? Is this a joke ?

 

I knew I liked you.

 

As a vegan currently in the middle of a set of Invisalign (snacking is just not worth the hassle) this thread makes for some miserable reading.
