What's for lunch that's interesting or a bit different and isn't just a ham sandwich or some beetroot

Not generally a one for shop bought pasta sauces, although my lifestyle dictates otherwise often now anyway, but those Barilla ones are pretty nice. You actually see them in the little grocery shops in Italy as well.

[Meenzer 14068]

They're pretty good, aye (and the company seems to have largely got past the whole anti-gay controversy, although I'm a hypocrite so it wouldn't have stopped me ).

 

Grilled some courgette strips on the Foreman and stirred them through pasta with the above today - spot on.

[Alex 30458]

I had to google that as I was completely unaware of it tbh.

Seemed to hit harder in the States I think, maybe they're more of a presence there. Obviously it found its way into my Twitter etc. at the time because of the kind of deviants I follow, but it wasn't exactly a mainstream interest thing. Bit like this whole Daily Beast/Grindr/Olympics story yesterday I guess.

The gays? They're bloody everywhere, man!

[Meenzer 14068]

Not in Sochi or Iran or Fiji, mind you. Some fertile markets for Barilla right there.

What exactly were you expecting?

[Dr Gloom 19839]

aye, fair point. i didn't have high hopes but was surprised at just how vile it was

This stuff is making my lunchtimes a happy place right now.

I liked the Roma shirts they sponsored. Happy to try one of their sauces if they ever sell them near here.

Kingston Park Tesco any good for you?

One, I don't do the west end. Two, I don't do tesco.

Fenwicks food hall then, sorr-ee.

My sis is a snob, I'll ask her next time she's in there.

[Meenzer 14068]

I'm just guessing mind, you wouldn't catch me in anything fancier than a chain supermarket.

My sister insists on 'marksies'. I couldn't be arsed to food shop in the town, mind. Rarely go into town as it is.

Mind, my gran was the same and there was no airs and graces about her. Still got the bus in to do her food shopping at Marksies (and the Co-Op) even when there were perfectly good shops at the end of her street. Must have been a different quality of tinned ham and chicken in white sauce.

Just had the Coconut bread toast from the Dill and the Bear breakfast menu that the bairns left this morning. Basically 2 massive slices of cake with fruit and yogurt on. Gorgeous.

Rustled up some panko-crumbed halloumi on a whim and I think I may be about to have a heart attack. If the worst happens, it's been grand

Godspeed, Meenz...

eating a salad for lunch, which is perfectly decent, other than the fact that it's loaded with goji berries. since when did these things become mainstream enough to slip into a pre-packed salad? rank little things.

If you or your lass made your own bait this wouldn't be a problem.
