Lunch

[poliphilo]

My favourite lunch: crusty French stick with humus and tsatsiki.

(Today's humus came from Sainsbury's and had olives in it)

What's yours?

Egg mayonnaise and crispy bacon in a buttered baguette. (Staying within the realms of things I'm likely to have for lunch on a weekday, anyway.)

Very nice too.

Bacon is the one thing I miss as a vegetarian. I buy the pretend stuff and it's not the same (the texture's wrong for a start) but it's better than nothing!

ooooooooo love humus... make my own at times.... but sounds delightful with olives.... and crusty bread

Sainsbury's does a range of fancy humuses. There's one with roasted red pepper and another with caramellised onion, but
the one with olives is the one for me.

Tsatsiki?

What's tsatsiki?

a tsasiki recipe

Sounds delicious.

It's spelled any number of ways- I guess because it's originally a Greek word.

A basic tsatsiki is made with yoghurt, cucumber and mint.

I make my own hummus, too. One of my favorite things, although I've never had olives in it.

I try to vary my lunches - today (and probably for the week( left over veggie lasagna.

I sometimes mix my own tsatsiki, but today I was lazy and bought it ready-made.

favorite lunch? From the delit near the theatre where I work, a half-and-half mix of their tomato-orange soup and their chicken veggie. With a section of baguette and a couple of those tiny little round cheeses.

Baguettes are the business.

The orange-tomato soup sound pretty good too.

Today I am having cold egg noodles with toasted sesame seeds and spring onion in a dressing of rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil and soy sauce.

Do you think it's okay to eat your lunch at ten o'clock?

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

That sounds pretty good.

Is ten too early? I guess it depends when and if you had breakfast.

When I was a kid we used to have a mid-morning meal we called "elevensies", which was basically tea/coffee and biscuits.

What do you mean by "biscuits," Tony?

Our biscuits are floury, soft, not sweet, and are usually buttered and eaten with jam.

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

Ah, I think I mean "cookies".

Yes, I've eaten the kind of biscuits you mean- but only in Kentucky. Very good they were too!

yesterday (i'm a day behind on my flist) i had a very similar lunch. erik took me out to the mediterranean place down the road. i had their 'gyro lunch platter' which is roasted shaved gyro meat, tabouli, humus, tsatsiki, a little sqare of feta, one purple olive, and a piece of pita. waaaaaay to much for one lunch, so i have the leftovers for today!

Pizza from Little Caesar's.

Or from the Mellow Mushroom, with mushrooms and spinach.

With orange juice.

I know.

What I like to do is take a very, very basic pizza margherita- and cover it with green olives.
