What do you eat for lunch?

[veeten]

... or whatever you call it over there.

Let's face it, it costs a small fortune these days to buy lunch, no matter where you look. :\

How many have decided just to bring it from home? A sandwich, crisps (or chips, here), a drink & a sweet treat makes a pretty good meal, and quite economical. :)

How do you handle lunch, bag or buy? :)

I don't eat lunch, that's how I deal with it :p :

[Firstgear]

Mostly bag lunches. Nuke yesterdays leftovers or a sandwich. Biting into a creamcheese with homemade rhubarb chutney sandwich right now.

[schmenke]

Usually bag.
If leftovers aren't available it's a sandwich and some fruit. The missus invariably also sneaks in a few carrot sticks that I may or may not eat :p :

Depending on where I'm working, lunch costs from 2Eur at the uni to 6-7Eur at restaurants.
If I'm at university, I don't bring my own food, other times it's maybe 30% of times I bring my own.

When I first saw the thread title I though it was about being intimate with an ugly member of the opposite sex :erm:

[Mark]

Yes, that's what it means in the UK! Bagging or double bagging :p

[Daniel]

Never had someone whose needed a brown bag but sure have had a couple who could have used plastic bags :p

P.S I usually buy my own lunch :p

[Storm]

Sometimes get it from home, often end up eating crappy stuff in the cafeteria though :mad:

[Mark]

Lunch is a problem, try getting anything healthy around here. Actually you can but you end up paying £5, which I can't afford every day! Unfortunately it usually ends up as a pastie from Greggs, which is probably the cheapest option at 57p, but also the worst for my health :mark:

[Donney]

I have lunch at home :)

[jim mcglinchey]

Ive knocked all that bakery crap on the head and started going to the local Simply Food..nice little veggie pasta salad for 98p.

[Storm]

I have lunch at home :)

Trabajas en tu casa eh? Que suerte! :\

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I usually take some sandwiches and stuff from home and then also buy some chips or go to McDonalds/Subway as well. Yet I don't gain any weight :D

It would be interesting to find out what different names people have for a packed lunch. In Lancashire people call it baggin and in Cumbria people call it 'bait'. :\

[imull]

Usually nip down to the bakery and get a fresh pot of soup with free granary roll and Bloomer loaf of bread. Soup and bread with a peanut butter or sandwich or two later in teh afternoon.

Although at the moment I am biting intoa nice greasy sausage roll or two :D

We just call it lunch Jon ;) Girlfriend in York calls it a packup

[Donney]

No, I don't but here we have a 1h30 break for lunch, and it takes me 10 min to walk from home to the office.

In any case I only work from 9 to 13 in the office and from 16 to 21 in my bussiness, so I have time enough for lunch. :D

[Storm]

enough time for lunch and siesta :p :

[Donney]

Ain't it great? :D

[veeten]

Yes, that's what it means in the UK! Bagging or double bagging :p

I was wondering why thw title of my thread was changed. Sorry 'bout that. :o

For me it depends quite a bit.

If I'm going to find it difficult to stop some days I pack a sandwich and a piece of fruit, usually a banana, whilst other times I just buy a sub or a wrap from a bakers.

If I'm playing golf in the afternoon then I try to either stop at Tesco and have a decent meal or take a client to a pub/resturant and have lunch on my company :)
