The Lunch Thread

Nevermind... we made up for it last night.
We have a few burrito shops in town (unfortunately not the same town I work in, which is a lunch hellhole), and last night I had a massive pulled pork, black bean burrito with extra cheese, guacamole, green chile salsa and sour cream! 

That sounds MUCH better!

The last few days, I've been going to the KFC drive-through in the hellhole town I work in... because they're currently doing those 'bite' things, where you get 4 of these chicken bites in a really nice sauce, in a tub.  At the moment they're doing peri-peri, barbecue and tomato... the peri-peri is pretty good.

Chinese spiced chicken wings from the hot counter in Sainsburys, and a yoghurt.

A little tub of salami & cheese cubes from Asda....however, the cheese cubes are PROVOLONE, which I've not had in many years!!! 

No interest in the provolone?
Well, *someone* is buying it (at least in Dumbarton!), cos every time I go to get some more, it's sold out!

I love provolone. When Lidl have their "Italian week" they always have big packs of it which I stock up on. It was just last week too, so if you have one near you I would take a look - they might still have some in.

I was trying to make a pasta bake and I asked about provolone cheese, and I was told "we don't get American cheese often here." Eh.... what? It does seem hard to find, even if people know what it is.

Would *love* to find provolone!  Best thing on pizza, steak & peppers, etc.

I've tried Lidl, but even during Italian week, when it's in their flyer, the one by us never seems to get it.

I never go to Lidl these days, but if I thought there might be provolone, I definitely would.  BriKH, if you have a chance, next time it's 'Italian week', could you please post about it to let us know?

Yes, absolutely. I think they do it a few times a year. I'm always on the lookout for it just for the provolone. I think it's a bit softer than what I remember from back home, but it will do.

Brunch, rather than lunch, but last night I brought home a bucket of KFC, and there were a few pieces leftover.  So I shredded them up, including the tasty skin, and threw them in a pan with grated mild cheddar, the last dregs of the gravy and Mrs Renfro's jalapeno salsa.  Heated up a tin of refried beans, spread it over large flour tortillas, then added the spicy cheesy chicken and topped with Hidden Valley Ranch dressing... and rolled them up into burrito-shaped edibles.

My mister, who claims not to like leftovers, gobbled it like mad, making approving noises with each mouthful.  I have to admit, it was pretty lush!

That sounds amazing albatross! 

I made mulligatawny soup this morning and had it for lunch with super-soft bread rolls... it was pretty amazing.  I used that idiot Pioneer Woman's recipe, except I substituted a tin of coconut milk for her half & half.
