Thread: Lunch ... the second course

Nice wee ham and egg salad

Treat myself because I've been a good boy.

Gammon with gravy?

Do you take a gameboy to the pub with you because you have no friends?

I had to google "gammon."

The term is mostly used in the United Kingdom and Ireland; other dialects of English largely make no distinction between gammon and ham.

Better than tasting it.

Though gammon and ham are not the same.

I'd order a ham sandwich, I wouldn't order a gammon steak.


Though I can see the appeal of the above situation.

^ & ^^ thanks for clearing that up Lulu

Thank God Armstrong didn't have sweetbreads

Horseshoe gammons from Britishop are the mutt's nuts.

Fried in garlic butter with onions n shrooms and a couple of fried eggs on top.

A wonderful ham and cheese with pickles and onions from my wife...

I quite often take my tablet with so I can read while I eat. I'm not much on making idle conversation with strangers...an introvert I am.

I am also anti social, mostly. I have a kindle reader on all my devices. Comes in handy when an Asian keeps you waiting, as they invariably do.

And I be wondering why a country that produces some of the best whiskey in the world eats offal stuffed in a sheep's bladder. Like most cultures, there's contradictions that abound.

you think they are mutually exclusive?

Me too

I found the stares annoying when I read People's Daily on paper.

Now I get smiles

The Scots declared the content.

What's inside the sausages you eat ?

I am exactly the opposite. I have a personal rule that when I am out eating with wife, others or by myself the electronic devices are put away. This is the time to socialize with each other and I enjoy saying hello and making conversation with others.

It's the contradictions that we enjoy exploring. It's like eating Vege/Mar/mite shit, there's no way any normal person can consider that good.

When I'm eating with others at the same table, I do agree with you. When I'm out solo, not so much.

yep, us too. Nothing worse than a table, all family sat there glued to their phones.

that's because when someone is reading the paper there is nothing worse than some Dutch bloke leaning over your shoulder reading your paper.

Yes

If you have a conversation with yourself eating solo, you are also stared at.

Argument could get you quarantined

Edith and I shared a delish Chongqing Lazji (辣子鸡) and spring rolls from a genuine Chinese reso.






Was something like 300 baht, but with loyalty points and the pro subscription it was 140thb.

Fok going out to the supermarket, cooking, cleaning, when Mr. Ching-Chong and Mr. Sunil-Sanjay will deliver top notch traditional English takeaway food for peanuts.
