What is for brunch or lunch ?

So does the OP live in a cafe? I’m totally lost. Perhaps she will explain next time she posts.

Oh, Callistemon, that just won’t do! Didn’t you read the expectations of wives on the other thread? (Though kitchen roll here tonight, I CBA to be washing, starching and ironing napkins every day, and no herbs required - steak, chips, mushrooms and asparagus.). Perhaps that should be on the dinner thread ….

I wonder if she means that she lives in the Capitol building in Madrid - presumably where she gets her 'Menu of the day'. It's quite a famous building so she may be assuming others would know of it. I may be wrong.

Oh, possibly.

Frenchgalinspain did say today's was a brunch at home and I must say it looks delicious.

"Must try harder"

DH likes a starched napkin but it's Christmas only chez nous.

Maybe her name says it all,Frenchgalinspain. Trying to educate the unsophisticated English yet again.
Well, mine was a sani, DH's homemade white bread, buttered with leftover pear and stilton pate and a slice of ham. Oh and to show I'm straight out of the lower classes a banana.

I was feeling lazy so had a cheese & onion pasty from Sainsburys and a handful of Texan barbecue Pringles.

I think the Op is French and something just got lost in translation. This poster often posts about her meals, complete with lovely pics, and given that she lives in Spain it's unlikely that she'll be having sausage and mash for brunch.

Prickly pear anyone?

Sausage and mash any day please!

I threw some cherry toms and garlic into the airfryer and drizzled with some olive oil. While I mashed them up I warmed some ciabbatta olive rolls and then spread them with the tomato mix. We had it with a melted Camembert cheese and boy was it yummy?

I love sausage and mash 😋 With lashings of butter. And no beans.

Lunch today was half of a sausage roll.
Thrilling.
I cook later

I think you should change your name to something more exotic or cosmopolitan sounding and put an a at the end of each one. Your lunch sounds delicious and I'm not being sarcastic. I would accept an invite for lunch anytime.
Maybe you could write a book for tired grans who have run out of inspiration. I love Sainsbury's part cooked Ciabatta rolls
We're an oddity in our village anyway. They have their dinner at 12 midday and tea at 4 pm followed by supper.
We have lunch at one and supper at about 6/7 pm. Which is what happened when we both worked.

Perhaps I need to buy an airfryer.

Does it take much cleaning, Helenlouiee?

Sorry, typo! Helenlouise?

Funny you should say that Bella. Round here everyone but us is up at the crack of dawn, lunch at midday, tea around 4-5 and early to bed. We have a light lunch about 1.00 and our main meal about 7.00 and all the neighbours’ houses are in darkness long before we go to bed. The country way I suppose.

So do we.

This what I got when I googled.
Maybe some of the OP’s post was a bit lost in translation.
Perhaps he/she might return to clarify?

I made a pan of veg and spicy bean soup to have for lunch it’s enough for two days.

German Shepherds Mumm,

I did not realise that you had been enquiring if I have a Blog ?

No, I do not have a Blog.

I publish a Digital Flip book Magazine on a digital platform on enological topics, travel and trade fairs in Spanish & French.

I am a journalist and also write for a few expatriate magazines.

Have a nice Sunday.

Thanks for replying. Your photos are very enticing - I hoped you were writing a book of delicious recipes!
Enjoy your evening!

Yesterday was sausage and mash, with onion gravy and courgettes.
Today we just had a cup of tea and a slice of Banana and Walnut cake at lunch time.
Tonight it will be Chicken in a white wine and cream sauce. DH is doing the potatoes and carrots , probably have some sweetheart cabbage as well. Then the 2 odd mince pies, made with left overs from the dozen I made earlier.

Ladies,
Re: Answering a few questions.

1) The Madrid Capital is not a building .. It is a specific city located in the Autonomous region of " La Comunidad de Madrid" ..

2) No, it is not a café.

3) In the Constitution of Spain, there is an amendment which includes a " laboral lunch of 3 servings" called a Menú del Día which is offered at a fair price throughout the city.

4) I was born and raised in France and attended University abroad and studied Mass Communications & Journalism.

My bachelor of arts degree - Vancouver - 3 years
My Masters of arts degree - New York School of Journalism - 2years
My Professional Internship - 1 year at a major Publishing House.

Then I returned to France .. And shortly afterwards, I met my Spanish husband who stopped me to ask if I knew where a certain building was as he had "engineer´s meeting" to attend. His first words were: "Do you speak English or Spanish"...

Well, the rest is history.

We are married 32 years ..

Best wishes for a nice evening.

In 1968 we had a delicious lunch in Casa Anita in Cadaques, Spain. Everyone had the same main dish, based on fish and tomato - there was no choice. Anita gave me extra, as I was pregnant! It must have been the Menú del Dia. I’ve always remembered the lovely happy atmosphere as we dined with the locals. We stayed in Cadaques for 5 weeks and often lunched at Casa Anita, always only one dish on the menu.

Delila,

Yes, what a wonderful well told read ..

Thank you for sharing ..
