It’s Ryvita and Philadelphia here (as it is pretty much every day grin) so please do inspire us with whatever you’re having.

Sorry Cari I know I'm not new but that has brought back so many memories of lunches eaten at my desk or in the staff room. What would we do without Ryvita and Philly? Haven't decided on my lunch yet off to the shops so I will pick something tasty.

I dont think I'll have any today. When I tried to pay for my morning scone I found I had no cash and the girl would only accept card payments over £1. I had to buy 2 so of course I had to eat them both.

A scotch egg from my wonderful local farm shop, and a bit of salad!

trisher it's so easy isn't it?! I like the Crackerbread ones best - they are lighter and less cardboardy. But just found some new rye ones (round) and they are lovely.

kircubbin I want a scone now. Actually, strike that. I want to scones

jacalpad sounds delish!!

I was going to have the last piece of the cheese bloomer toasted with lashings of butter so popped the bread in the toaster, then went to stop ( the bloody dog ) little Alfie from eating the bushes, came back in to clouds of smoke coming out of the toaster and the smoke alarm in full throttle , so now it’s cake and wine for lunch !!!! ?

I intended to have half of an M &S cheese salad but have just eaten a tube of jelly beans so no lunch for me. blush.

Not having a lunch as such as will be eating early tonight but I've just had a lovely warm scone with butter and a cup of tea. Delicious.

Carrot and lentil soup with cheese and sundried tomato bread ( both homemade-just showing off!) and a satsuma

I am having homemade chicken and vegetable soup with Pearl Barley. It is simmering as I type!

Fruit salad and black currant yoghurt with granola on top

Shepard's pie with roasted cauliflower. I am not a brand new poster to Gransnet so not sure if I'm eligible for the competition or not. Either way, it's nice to be here and I do mostly lurk. Not sure I'm happy about confessing that (the lurking not the other part). smile

A cheese and pickle toast from bacon Joe's van just down the road!

My son cooked fish with pasta, pesto, peas and sweetcorn on Saturday. As usual, too big a portion for me so it's made a nice "free" lunch today with a glass of tomato juice ?

Tuna salad sandwich, mainly to use up tuna left from yesterday.

grannysue05 Mon 09-Mar-20 13:30:56

Sandwich made from left over gammon slices from yesterday's Sunday roast. Plus a mug of lovely Yorkshire Tea.

Samegrandma Mon 09-Mar-20 13:30:57

Ham & cheese omelette and toast - had half a pot of creme fraiche to use up so I whisked it in with the eggs and it resulted in a sort of souffle omelette - it was scrummy!

Hilltrudger24 Mon 09-Mar-20 13:34:36

I had peanut butter and banana on toast, very filling and tasty!

Carillion01 Mon 09-Mar-20 13:39:23

Vegetable soup from the contents of our fridge drawer and cheese and chive muffin...both made yesterday when I used up what was left in the fridge. This time perked the soup up with a sprinkle of crushed chilli flakes. Quite yum.

Sorry, didn't realise this was a competition for new posters.

Stop it with the scones.

Gf bread sad with some left over smoked salmon and egg mayonnaise. Been out choosing carpet so I needed a treat!!!
