Well time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so

[Sir C]

Blimey, you lot have early lunches. I haven't had breakfast yet.

I was out walking at 5:30. Had a yoghurt at 8. Reckon I'll hang on until 11:30.

I could eat that! All except the rice. And the bhaji. :-(

[IUFG]

I might send someone out to pick up some naan breads for me :cloud9:

[Sir C]

I'll have a hard boiled egg with it :-(

[IUFG]

I'll have a hard boiled egg with it :-(

but could you have a pint of Cobra with it?
Or indeed, any icy-cold lager...

[PSRB]

Hot pepperami, b?

Firestick is the best won

[Burney]

Hot pepperami, b?

No. Standard.

[IUFG]

Firestick is the best won

agreed, but rather hard to find in most shops around here

[Sir C]

but could you have a pint of Cobra with it?

I believe beer is verboten, but I am allowing myself 1 x 330 ml bottle of lager on a Saturday and one on a Sunday IF the temperature is forecast to exceed 25 degrees at any point during the day.

[Sir C]

Pepperami. Fruit.

How many Pepperamis?

I thought fruit was verboten?

[IUFG]

No. Standard.

bit lame, b.

Tesco's own branded biltong is a reasonable chew. If you like that sort of stuff.

[IUFG]

Vodka and slimline, is it?

[Burney]

How many Pepperamis?

Three. And why would fruit be verboten? Fruit is your friend.

Like I said, this isn't that mad keto stuff. I'm not trying to get shredded for a blockbuster movie, I'm just trying to drop a few pounds.

[Burney]

I find biltong depressing. You chew and chew until you start to wonder what the point is.

[Burney]

You could have cauliflower rice with it. :-\

:shrug: I've no idea. I think it's all bóllocks anyway, if I had my way I'd simply be calorie counting, but the glw has spoken.

[Burney]

Oh, dear. She's probably done research and shít. :-(

[Sir C]

Oh, dear. She's probably done research and shít. :-(

She knows stuff, b. :-( All sorts of stuff.

[Sir C]

Vodka and slimline, is it?

Red wine. Gallons of it.

[IUFG]

I find biltong depressing. You chew and chew until you start to wonder what the point is.

talking of depressing food, I recently had the misfortune to eat a buckwheat, squash and sweet potato risotto.

it was the food equivalent of watching a Cliff Thorburn mid-fifties break.

[IUFG]

Good man :thumbup:

This does rather beg the question, 'Why?' I mean, what were you expecting? Herds of majestic wildebeest or the hanging gardens of Babylon?

[IUFG]

Oh, it was offered to me in a situation, I couldn't really decline.

Took one for the team. So to speak.

Dennis, it was bland.

[Sir C]

It is for such eventualities that I always carry a phial of the blessed Akabanga.

I had this with someone who took me out for lunch to a vegan restaurant. :-( Everything was inherently bland and - unforgivably - underseasoned. And I had to order vegan wine by the glass while they drank water. Terrible business.

[Burney]

It is for such eventualities that I always carry a phial of the blessed Akabanga.

A phial of our pacy, pelanty-missing centre forward? :rubchin:

[IUFG]

... to a vegan restaurant. :-

these places need to be razed to the ground.

Or strictly confined to gentrified parts of East London.

[Sir C]

You could have cauliflower rice with it. :-\

Yesterday I panicked and bought a cauliflower. What the fúck am I going to do with a cauliflower? It's 39 degrees!

[IUFG]

Yesterday I panicked and bought a cauliflower. What the fúck am I going to do with a cauliflower? It's 39 degrees!

curried cauli dish

[Burney]

Make cauliflower rice. Then eat curry with it.

Oh, you can make a sort of cauliflower cheese, but you need to use chickpea flour for the roux.

More positively, celeriac dauphinoise is very nice indeed.

[Tony C]

Fillet o Profumo

He told me about this...it’s a fillet o fish but he crushes avocado and smears it the inside of the bun and adds a couple anchovies.

Delish.

[Ash]

It must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

Perfect timing :)
