I usually get a salad but I don't feel like salad. I don't eat sandwiches for lunch. I want something healthy but filling.

Eggs & Salsa sounds good.

Yum!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 16:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes, it does! Where would I get that? Si Senor?

I just had some bean/cheese/salsa tacos spurred by the egg thread.

Fritatas!

I'm getting GYROS.

you don't eat sandwiches for lunch? why?

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 16:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Is GYROS plural? That sentence has me puzzled.

Baked beans and a turkey sammich again.

Sorry, thought it said "what are YOU having for lunch".

I had salads for lunch all last week and yesterday, but today I cracked (because of hunger and lack of time) and got a sub from the place down the hall. I ate so many of those during the first few months of working in this office that I hate them now, they all taste the same.

Normally I could balance this with a tasty and healthy dinner, but I have to drive to Minneapolis after work so I know that Wendy's is in my future.

Sorry Adam, I don't know what you should have for lunch. Maybe a sandwich?

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 16:40 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm making a sandwich with alfalfa sprouts up on it!!!!!!!!

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 16:40 (nineteen years ago) link

gyros is singular!

BURGER. I haven't had one in months and I fear I may lose my citizenship because of it.

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 16:53 (nineteen years ago) link

the deli across the street makes this great margherita salad with fresh mozzarella, shredded basil, and cherry tomatoes tossed in olive oil--I got a half-pound of it for lunch. It's so tasty and the texture of the fresh mozzarella is such that until you get to the end, you don't realize that you're eating HALF A POUND OF CHEESE. Ugh/yum.

"gyros is singular!"

So is I'm getting a GYROS proper, or is GYROS like scissors?

― geyser muffler and a quarter (Dave225), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 16:54 (nineteen years ago) link

you're getting gyros.

― metal detective (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 16:55 (nineteen years ago) link

YEER-OSE!

― metal detective (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 16:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Get a tostada.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 16:56 (nineteen years ago) link

shit now i want gyros too.

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 16:57 (nineteen years ago) link

I have to echo Kyle here, what is your problem with sandwiches? What did they ever do to you??

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 16:57 (nineteen years ago) link

oops, have you seen this? http://www.interestingideas.com/roadside/gyros/gyros.htm

― metal detective (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 16:59 (nineteen years ago) link

I just got burnt out on sandwiches! And I have cereal/toast for breakfast so I am trying to cut down on the starch!

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 17:01 (nineteen years ago) link

What did they ever do to you??

Oh, I don't know...THEY ONLY MADE YOUR FUCKING DAY WITH GOODNESS AND THE CONVENIENCE OF A MEAL DELIVERED IN BREAD.

I love sandwiches.

― giboyeux (skowly), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 17:01 (nineteen years ago) link

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 17:05 (nineteen years ago) link

when i was in HS, i had a brief part in my friend's sister's short film entitled Only Crumbs Remain. I got fatally attacked by bread.

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 17:06 (nineteen years ago) link

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 17:06 (nineteen years ago) link

chinese food?

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 17:11 (nineteen years ago) link

one year passes...

Chicken kebab or chicken pesto pasta?

― Hard like armour, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 01:59 (seventeen years ago) link

KEBAB

― tehresa, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 01:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Holy shit the best lunch ever is a haloumi kebab. for sure. get it in ya. I'm going to go and grab one today. For lunch.

― Drooone, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 02:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Kebab it is. Chicken, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, shitloads of cheese and BBQ sauce. Toasted. Oh yeah. Mouth is watering.

― Hard like armour, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 02:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Get a baked potato. With some salad on the side for health.

― braveclub, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 10:40 (seventeen years ago) link

That is a good idea braveclub. I have not had a jacket potato for ages. I think this is because Benjys closed down!

I do hope kebab eaters are not taking the kebab back to their offices! Also, does halloumi belong in a kebab? I am shaking my head, concernedly.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 10:48 (seventeen years ago) link

What the buggery bollocks is gyros? I'm not going to eat a welfare cheque for lunch thank you very much.

― the next grozart, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 10:48 (seventeen years ago) link

(I will probably be having mackerel on a roll with some salad - mackerel is yummy. I have concerns that it smells, but co-workers say it's OK. I still take the mackerel container etc out of the office first, and wash up my plate immediately just in case).

(If you fancy a mackerel TREAT, the mackerel and cous cous salad thing in M&S is good, but £3.90 = yes please also which orifice would you prefer to shaft me with today o cashier).

― Sarah, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 10:54 (seventeen years ago) link

GRAMMER, sorry - took a phonecall halfway through writing that very important sentence about mackerel.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 10:55 (seventeen years ago) link

mmm mackerel, i think i may have a fish dinner tonight now - the smelly aftermath in the kitchen is worth it every once in a while

for lunch? probly just a pie, i'm in a rush today.

― Ste, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 10:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Gyros = American elephant's leg

― Ed, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 10:58 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd kill for a decent bakers near my work. Only one close is Greggs and their cheap and nasty ultra greasy offerings.

Nice apple turnovers though. And steak bakes. And pasties. AND EVERYTHING

Gyros. You can say Gyro as well though.

― nathalie, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 11:12 (seventeen years ago) link

It's UK lunchtime. Hence call them by their REAL NAME: elephant leg kebabs. They should NOT be had for lunch (unless your lunch is like the glory days with my old boss, five pints then a kebab back at the office - stinky).
