What do you eat on your lunch break?

You could also boil up some rice at home and bring it as a side. I assume you have a way of heating it up at work. That stuff will stick with you for awhile. Try boiling it in chicken broth.

I have two lunches. At work lots of fried chicken and chips. Then at home skinless chicken with wholemeal bread. Got to feed the beast!

Nissin bowl of noodles (87 cents at Walmart), banana, apple. Cup of Tazo green tea.

If I'm at home, it usually boils down to organic scrambled eggs on lovely soda bread with just a little pepper and brown sauce to taste. I've also become very fond of pastrami lately, so I've also taken to having that along with iceberg lettuce, cherry tomatoes and light salad cream sandwiched between crusty wholemeal bread.

I like to accompany my lunch at home with a nice cup of Twinings' Lady Grey, an absolutely gorgeous twist on the usual Earl Grey blend that I highly recommend.

However, if I am out of the house, it really depends on time and present company; if I need something on the go, I usually end up having supermarket sushi or something similar (I know, t'is bad for me, but it's addictive!), but if there's no rush and I'm with friends, I'll pop into a gastropub for some proper cooked food and a glass of dry white wine on the sly. :>

I used to eat all kinds of things from the local cafes and kiosks but now I have a mortgage so I'm trying to save money by making my own lunch. Luckily I have a fridge at work so instead of taking sandwiches from home (which go soggy and stale) I can make them fresh at work. I'm working out a lot right now so I'm trying to keep the fat down - I have wholemeal rolls stuffed with lean ham and slices of pickled cucumber, a hard-boiled egg and some nuts and a piece of fruit. That's most days. One day a week I splash out and have turkish food (pide or falafel usually).

I got me some giant oranges. I eat that, and mix it up with other fruit.

Totally depends on the day. I usually pack a lunch of some sort, Leftovers, maybe a sandwich, plus veggies and something to drink. Although at least once a week we'll gather a crew and head over to Pho-Cyclo (A fantastic Vietnamese place).
