You heard me 

What do you take in for lunch every day?

I'm falling into the trap of buying pasta salads from Tesco's or a sandwich from nearby lunchstop; both of which are cr*p and work out expensive if you do it on a regular basis.

I need some new ideas! Surely UKB foodies can help?

[GCW]

I have 3 cheese and pickle buns, and some fruit.
Every day the same. 
I like cheese and pickle 

[fatkid2000]

If there are left overs from dinner the night before I'll take that - we often over cook stuff like pasta so there is.

Yesterday was Brie and onion marmalade sandwiches and fruit.

If I'm at work for over 12 hours I'll take some soup or something to heat up - those innocent pots are good but pricey.

[slackline]

Either leftovers of curry/stir-fry/pasta or sandwiches with egg, salad cream, chilli sauce and marmite. 

Occasionally lazy in which case I'll grab a roll from a sandwich shop (current favourite is The Lunch Stop on Glossop Road), much better value than tastier than Tesco's cardboard.

[SA Chris]

Daily Manwich, have stash of yogs in fridge and packs of crisps in drawer, plus fresh fruit supplied from work.

[BB]

An apple, a banana and an clementine.

[Jaspersharpe]

You have to make your own decision?    I have whatever the Mrs makes for me. 

[nai]

Roast a chicken on sunday and use it to make sanwiches or salads all week.

[underground]

I end up eating Houmous or tinned mackerel 80% of the time, unless there's leftovers. Lately though I've been making a sh*tload of tabbouleh on a Sunday and eating it all week.

Today though, looking forward to chips and curry sauce from Brenda's behind the Moor 

[Plattsy]

"Ten Bren!"

Recently I've been having cereal. Usually have homemade sandwiches or a sandwiche from Philpotts (get a free soup with my work pass!).

[Iesu]

i'm firmly in the "leftovers" camp. unless there aren't any in which case i head to the rather pricey local deli.

Been trying to get my shit together and be organised, making sarnies the night before but this hardly ever happens. What with riding to work I'm usually starving by 11am and can easily blow over £5 a day on food and snacks.

This week my secret weapon is home-made flapjacks to beat the hunger monster!

[Dolly]

Been on a bit of a tofu and beansprouts thing recently.
Buy both from Tai Sun supermarket with some hot and sour soup base. Very low carb, very spicy, very cheap

[cofe]

2 plums, 1 banana.

[SpanishJuan]

250ml of maple syrup  2 bananas, some wobble eyes, pipe cleaners....


I should stop playing with my food

[TobyD]

2 plums, 1 banana.

is it fairtrade though?

yes, but do you sprout your own?

[Dolly]

I have sprouted my own but haven't been doing recently- good reminder tho'
Also nice with coconut milk and thai red curry paste.

Quite bad for smelly farts tho...

That must be 'bad meaning good' unless you're a weirdo who doesn't revel in the stench of their own waste gas?

[account_inactive]

Thermabol and some Golden Viginia

[JamesD]

Pasta with bacon, shitloads of garlic, loads of peppers, onions, and some random sauce stuff.

Brekkie was a massive sausage roll, and an almond croissant

Put me down as a weirdo then. There's been some very noxious gases this week

[al123]

2 or 3 jam sandwiches, a bag of mcyos, a banana, some flapjacks or something similair is a pretty failsafe option for me. Last weekend i went on a big walk and packed some cus cous,2 hot cross buns and a bit of quiche in one tupperware box the cus cous went on half of 1 hot cross bun and tasted awful and didnt fill me up and the half of the hot cross bun was thrown away, also the quiche wasnt exactly lovley either!!

I'm sensing a link with the 103kgs.  Are you Jim?

[Eddies]

Strawberry jam and peanut butter sarnies FTW 

[Jim]

I've got some random body parts of dead strippers in my lunch box

[account_inactive]

You thief!

[Simon Brown]

Food, lots of food. Probably why I'm a fat vegetarian.

Cous-cous or bulghur salads, whether with beans or dried fruit and seeds are quick and easy to make on a morning. Bagels and sunflower paste are good too.

I keep a lot of cooked beans and lentils in the freezer, these can be just grabbed and pasta, buckwheat or cous-cous drained over them. Add a few chopped spring onions and tomatoes and you have a lunch. Microwaves in about three minutes. I bulk it out with a wholemeal pitta or 3 or some homemade bread. A low fat carrot cake without the slimy topping is a favourite for pudding. (I'll email the recipe if you want it Paul)

Chocolate cake is good too.

got a bit put off Lunch Stop today when I saw them grating a huge block of cheese that in fact wasn't cheese. It was 'Mild - a cheese substitute'...

[Iesu]

leftover pizza from saturday night

"mmmmmmmmmm....Piiiiizzzzzaaaaaaaaa"

[Mike Tyson]

I wish I had pizza.

My luch box has rice, peas, carrot, cauliflour, broccoli, tuna and a fat free dressing. Healthy: Yes. Tasty: Yes. Repetitive: Yes. And its only Monday

You'll be leaning out no doubt?

Recently I've discovered the Roasted pepper, cheddar, ham, chicken and Mayo Ciabatta from Mocca. Very nice (if they've run out today I won't be impressed!).

[Mike Tyson]

Yeah the weight is steadily coming off, was 81.4kg this morning. Indulged a little at the weekend so not to bad.

I need to do more with chicken, its just not as convenient as tuna!

[Paul B]

It doesn't come in tins yeah but if you roast some up then it'll do you for a while without too much effort.

[erm, sam]

Cheese and apple chutney (homemade, from homey apples) sandwiches on homemade bread. A carrot.
I'm going to buy some crisps to put into the sandwich, salt and vinegar.

Later I shall snack on oatcakes.

Mmmmmmmmm

[Mike Tyson]

I'm just terribly unorganised when it comes to food. Tuna is too handy and the other things only take 10-15 mins.

Sam your food sounds awesome, wanna swap?! 

[slackline]

Nothing I just ate it all!!

(egg, salad cream, chilli and marmite sandwiches on seeded brown bread, yummy!)

[jfw]

left over couscous from last night - ainsley harriot citrus cous cous, garlic, onion, ginger, red pepper, courgette, spinach, and tuna.

nairns ginger oatcakes for snacking (but i've eaten them all now).

banana for later on (+emergency satsuma)

[Barratt]
