The "What are you having for Lunch" Thread
 

Looking for some inspiration. What's on the lunch menu today?

Nothing. It's too hot to even think about eating anything

Jambalaya with shrimp and scallops

Melon

Coffee

Milk

Similar to most days

Red leaf lettuce
1 slice swiss cut up
couple slices of hard salami cut up
fresh mozz
tomato
cucumber
carrots (if I'm not out)
Vinegar or Lemon juice

Maybe a boiled egg as well if I get up and boil some.

east coast here and I have that dreaded noon meeting. Uhmm folks, there is a reason everyone's calendar is free at noon, we go to lunch :rolleyes:

anyway, I had a bagel at 11:30 to tide me over. After the meeting I'm going to have a ham sandwich

Turkey club wrap

cheesesteak
 

from Yellow Submarine in SF the best

Turkey Reuben.

Japanese Pan Noodles from Noodles & co.

Leftover pizza from this weekend

Central time here and some a-hole in Eastern time scheduled a meeting for 12-1 CDT.

So I went home at 10:30 to walk the dog and made tuna salad on pumpernickel with lettuce tomato and pickle slices. I had vanilla ice cream with Hershey's syrup all over because as someone pointed out, it's damn hot out there.

cucumbers, broccoli, and cauliflower with quacamole, and black beans cooked with chiles and bell pepper

chicken fajita burrito

Lean Cuisine - Chicken with Cranberries

Referencing the Omni thread. ...you call that eating too much? That's practically starvation.

Uh, airplane food. Duh. :D

Rye toast with a nice savoury peanut butter and Marmite spread .
A cup of Assam tea.
A slice of Battenburg.

I had chilli, cheese on top of chips for lunch. I am in a food coma right now.

I don't really care for sandwiches, and am trying to limit my carb intake anyways. I live close enough to home that I can go there for lunch, but whatever I make needs to be done in like 5-10 minutes. So I usually rely on frozen meatballs, or lately those chicken fingers from Trader Joes and pour a little melted butter with dried chives and garlic powder mixed in - a deconstructed chicken Kiev. But I too need more ideas.

Chicken,shrimp,onion,pak choi,chicken or fish stock with grated cauliflower.
Low carb and tasty.
I also add some lemongrass and/or kaffir lime leaves to give it a SE Asian vibe.

Leftover carved turkey breast on pumpernickel with whole berry cranberry sauce spread on the bread. Lettuce and tomato. Diet A&W root beer. Lactose free Breyers vanilla ice cream for dessert.

Mrs. BV comes home this evening and I can stop going home at lunchtime to walk the dog. I plan to eat less tomorrow than I have with the whole fridge contents staring at me.

Had a grilled cheese sandwich and a garlic asparagus soup today.

Pork cutlet, pepper sauce and potato mash at a casual biz lunch meeting in Europe.

rubio's fish tacos

Round Table Pizza and salad at the original location in Menlo Park, CA.

Bottle of Samuel Adams Boston Lager and a G&W Grants Farm Bratwurst on a German Broetchen with Grey Poupon mustard.......Hmmmmm.......got a go......Hungry!

I used to work across the Dumbarton bridge. Every time I'd get taken out to lunch when visiting HQ in Menlo we'd go to the same place. I think it was called California Café? Nice place but what about variety?

Tito's and cranberry

The one on the Stanford Campus? Looks like it's closed now. I used to walk over from my office at the medical center.

I had a bit of leftover ropa vieja with some white rice and black beans. Mmm . . . Cuban food.

That's the one. My employer used to be Raychem. They got acquired by Tyco but I had already left and moved back east by then. They had a nice campus in Menlo Park. I think it was off University.

No fair. I have no access to Cuban food even though I live in Florida. I would kill for your leftovers.

You need to come visit!

Sure. As long as you don't live in South Florida. Let's meet in Havana instead.

Oh, now that sounds wonderful! (I live in NYC, btw.)

Havana Do....

That's has a great ring to it!

Miami doesn't have Cuban food?

Nope. Just Freedom Fries. :D

BamaVol lives in the panhandle. It's a short drive from Miami.

I had a Costco hot dog today. Not sure what's for tomorrow yet.

Doc, count me in. Cuba is the only country in my bucket list.
