What are you having for lunch? (rolling thread)

[LCBB72]

it's the same fish.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardine

canned sardines may also be sprats, which are amazing fried. Whitebait is also a catchall for young fried fish like sprats, sardines, etc.

Smoked sprats are a winner .

Whopper Jr.

OK, it was only 99p but its quite disappointing.

Southend Burger King is a bit rough as well.

Can anyone recommend and decent places for lunch in Southend?

Wings and Pasta Pia currently have my seal of approval.

I hate oily fish.

Apart from Tuna and smoked salmon.

...

3 or 4 times per year Morrisons sell whole Salmon for about £5 per kilo instead of £11-£12.
I always go & buy a couple each time ( about £15 each ), skin them, pick out the pin bones, & divi them into portions & freeze them.
Once or twice every weekend, I have a portion for brekkie ( Salmon, that is! ), with a couple of slices of brown bread & butter. Delicious.

Polish cheese, Italian salami, French Dijonaise and Sainsburys baguette.

The finest example of European collaboration since Concorde.

I shall be eating my ham & cheese sandwich with a mate I don't often see, which will make a nice change from doing the Guardian crossword or arguing about the stupidity of Brexit on here.

It is. Lobster & Bollinger for lunch too. Very elitist.

Noodle soup with pork dumplings from Wings.

Top notch and just the job on a cold day.

Usual sandwich but with Aldi picallili. Champion.

Used to go to the Pipe of Port or Il Pescatore in Queens Road when I worked in Southend if it was someone's birthday - both excellent, not sure if they both still open at lunch time though.

I've only recently discovered Quaker oats and I'm now addicted. I have them straight after a long run on a Saturday - it's something I spend all week looking forward to!

I love my oats too, loads of honey and sliced banana, yummy!

I love my oats too.

But my other half says if I come back from the pub smelling of beer I can not have them.
