What are you having for lunch? (rolling thread)

[Tangled up in Blue]

I am working in Southend today.

Any recommendations for something healthy?

Don't eat anywhere near the front.

Ended up in Pasta Pia.

The last of my home made broccoli and stilton soup made up after Christmas - possibly the best soup I've ever made....

Was it past it's Best Before Date?

Was it past it's Best Before Date?

The stilton was when I made it - but if it's frozen, in my book you start again where date's are concerned!

Lovely soup but the smell when cooking, it's shocking at best,

True - it was quite smelly still at work! Fortunately, we were a bit thin on the ground so no-one sitting too close to me!

Rolled breast of lamb?

I love that, haven't had it for ages.

No, it was a whole lamb on a spit, normally the shop does a pig on a spit but as a special they done lamb. It was like feeding time at the zoo if you didn’t get there early enough.

What they call a méchoui (pronounced mishwi) in France (of Morrocan origin).Very tasty.

'Other half' cooked a beautiful joint of beef today, purchased from Byfords ( top class Butchers ).
For the next few days, lunch for me will be 2-3 slices of toast, with excellent Beef dripping spread on it.

Very true, you get what you pay for, or from.
Byford has always done great meat and fresh provisions.
I recommend Marsh's butchers at Wakering, top meat and sausages.

I thought Byfords had closed? Certainly the one in Rayleigh has.

They sold that one a few years ago, but for what-ever reason the new owners had to keep the same name. That did 'Byfords' no favours, as locals soon started moaning the products weren't of the same high standards as before, my late mum being one of these!.
Their shop is at the bottom of The Fairway in Leigh, just before you reach the traffic lights onto the A127.
They are situated in a largish Premier Store, with probably 50% of the floor space. Def worth a visit, as they have such a variety of lovely products.

I know where you mean, used to catch the 29 bus to WHSG from the end of Belgrave Road.

Popped into Morrison's 11ish today, saw they were selling packs of Scottish smoked salmon reduced from £4.50 to £2.70.
Well, it would have been daft not to buy one & eat it for lunch, with a slice of bread & butter!.
