that took about thirty seconds you piece of shit

[Luke de Spa]

and Smagwinya is probably made from animal fat but you never know right

[Cool As Ice Cream]

what about bread and cheese? too boring?

[Starla]

Protein bars are glorified candy bars and make my blood sugar spike. I eat alot of dense proteins.

You can try some hummus with salad for lunch, add in some black beans for extra protein.

If you like peanut butter, go with something more organic and natural, cause the processed crap like Jiff or skippy has too much added sugar. You'd actually be good to snack on walnuts, cause they are really good for you.

If you're pressed for time and need a heat up dinner, Amy's organic frozen meals are pretty good.

i considered my role in this thread to that of temptation.

Do you prefer warm or cold lunches?

No, they're made from dough, but they're deep fried which is why they're called 'fat' cakes.
Which is where your edit gets wrong and tricky.
For example, you left Smoosas which often contain meat, but deleted vetkoek which is actually just fried dough. Sometimes people have it stuffed with mince, or with potato. Often with Jam, as the description said.

Your list is all wrong now. And you called me lazy pffft.



Anyway trots, I do strongly suggest, on the list, the pumpkin fritters. those are great. Man I want to make some right now.

Noodles are good, but nothing but carbs, so you'll crash after an hour or two and be starving again. Have you ever tried boca burgers? Some are gross but there's a few good ones. You can dress them up a little too with tomatoes, cheese, etc.
You can also try some chobani yogurt for snacks cause it's high in protein. Have some cottage cheese with sandwiches. Just throwin out some ideas for the basic things. I'm in the same situation and have little time to do much with food at lunch.

[Luke de Spa]

jesus just make a sandwich the night before and wrap anything high in moisture like tomatoes or lettuce separately so you can add them right before you eat.

EXAMPLE: make some falafel and sautée a few meatball-sized portions of that, bang it in some decent (soft-ish) baguette with some tzatziki and lettuce and cucumber and tomato and diced red onion (RED ONION OPTIONAL). eat or instead portion everything out the night before, store the bread/falafel in one container or piece of plastic wrap or whatever, and the lettuce/cucumber/tomato/onion in another, refrigerate and then combine when you're ready to eat. this is not difficult stuff

also: quark. can you get that there? it's a german (or central european or whatever) cheese, somewhere between yoghurt and cottage cheese and creme fraiche

anyway there are two kinds, full fat (~20%) and low fat (~2%). you want the low fat kind. add diced rosemary and chives, olive oil and low-fat yoghurt for smoothness, plus salt and pepper to taste. good with baguette slices or crostini. i could honestly eat that every day for weeks and be pretty happy

hey, here's a good recipe for hummus that will save you a lot of money

2 14oz cans of garbonzo beans/chickpeas
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tbsp tahini (you'll find this next to the peanut butter at whole foods or trader joes or whatever you have in austin)
add water until desired consistency
cumin, salt and pepper, to taste.

throw it all in a food processor/blender. and bob's your uncle.

this recipe makes a shitload of hummus costs like 3 dollars every time you make it. and it tastes better than any store bought hummus you'll ever buy. it will keep for about a week.

[bahnzah]

lds in on fyah in this thread.

[slunken]

rice and peanut sauce was my go to when i was vegan/freegan. that and black beans and rice. if i was going out i ate a lot of indian food.

[Dead Frequency]

the trick is to just drink alcohol on your lunch break

[slunken]

i tried that a few times but it never worked in my favor

[sppunk]

Now I'm craving biryani. Fuck.

[Trotskilicious]

holy crap that's one big ass oyster

[Tchocky]

I haven't read through this thread, but I suggest anything with potatoes, besides any fried version of course. Filling and delicious, and reasonably healthy.

From now until Easter, I'm planning on eating a lot of baked chicken, salad, soup, potatoes, beans, fruit for snacks, and milk, juice, and the occasional sports drink or coffee. No soda pop or fast food, and only the occasional bit of red meat.

I'm not a hummus fan, but I might start eating it anyway...I'll need some ballast to fill my stomach.

[Trotskilicious]

i don't really care for potatoes, i figure my ancestors ate plenty of them to pay it forward and I'm honestly kind of sick of them. I'm pretty sure my mom serves some kind of potato at every other meal so...

yeah i'm more picky than i thought i was, i just want to eat vegetarian lunches, not view it as some kind of grim task that must be accomplished for nutrients.

[Trotskilicious]

potatoes have a lot of carbs & starch and they make you logy. That's why the Irish got the reputation for being lazy because all they ate were potatoes and they were all logy and the British are like "Well see this is why we're whipping you, mick."

[Trotskilicious]

actually they were even "lazy" when they were all starving to death, too. Personal responsibility, you know.

[Eulogy]

wtf does logy mean

[Trotskilicious]

lethargic, lazy, god damn it you're a law student can you not pick up definitions through context yet?

i understood what you were meaning but i'm just wondering where it came from

geeze

[Trotskilicious]

frisky dingo

xander crew's grandfather has whore spurs because "Whores back in the 19th century could be kind of logy."

[pale_princess]

brendan re: indian food. for vegetarian, i've got two words for you: MUTTER PANEER!!!! espech in roti form... mmm

if you're getting roti, be warned that if you get it spiced "medium" it goddanged HOT.

[pale_princess]

if you like hummus, try babaganoush. s'even better.

a simple, nutritious salad is combining chickpeas, chopped apple, red onions celery and some dill. squeeze a whole lemon on that, toss, sprinkle with salt & pepper, MMMM!!

another good one is mixing black beans with chopped mango, avocado, red onion & corn and some cilantro. squeeze a couple of limes on that shit, and toss, with a little salt & pepper and/or some hot sauce. you could even serve it with a dollop of sour cream and/or topped with shredded cheddar. mmm!!!

[Trotskilicious]

i know baba ganoush and it's not better. i mean, it's good. but in no way is it better than hummus. Also, i don't think eggplant has protein in it. over the last six month i went a little ga-ga for greek/Mediterranean food so I'm pretty familiar with a lot of it now.

black bean salad recipe you posted sounds like great tacos, shaunna.
