..."oh, I forgot to have lunch today"

I don't understand how people can do that. Who 'forgets' to have lunch?

Even a quick sandwich, bowl of soup or leftovers from last night's dinner. There is always, in my opinion, time to eat.

I'm sorry, I just don't get it.
I love my food.

Lunch is often glossed-over during the week, as an interruption to the working day. I know that I have often been guilty of this, grabbing a quick sandwich at eating it at my desk. I would love to have the time to have a nice leisurely cooked lunch, like they do in parts of Europe. They take an hour or two, go home, eat with the family, rest and then go back to work.

Lunch for me is usually leftovers or a sandwich. It is nice to go out and grab a bite to eat sometimes, one of my favourite places is St Pierre's Sushi - it's healthy and delicious! Or just quietly, a pie and slice is rather d'lish too!

Let's start sharing. I invite you to write a comment below and share with us:

    As I work from home, I'll often have leftovers. Delicious! But otherwise, I'll go for a healthy salad sandwich or wrap. In the cold months, I love soup - either home-made, Leanne's Kitchen dumpling soup, or at a pinch, Asian flavoured cup a soups. And if I'm on the run, sushi is always quick and easy. I love lunch too!

    @AndreaWong - It's amazing! You must go. The same people who own Brooklyn Bagels own Dixon Street Deli. Great range of deli-style food..you must try their Filo assortments! Devine. I have taken many a visitors to their cafe in College Street and it too has become a favourite of theirs. Plus! Caffe Laffare next door has some of the best coffee in town!

    @BridgetJopson - thanks for your recommendation for lunch in Wellington! I've tried Wholly Bagels but not Brooklyn Bagels.

    @AlTheCat - homemade Tofu? Wow, aren't you clever!

    Lunch? Very rarely do lunch....

    ... it's kinda hard to fit in between the 11am and 2pm meals :D


    Lately the 11am is porridge with banana and the 2pm is homemade tofu n cottage cheese quiche.

    Personally a fan of leftovers. Can pretend it is something a bit more than just a sandwhich.

    In summer I love a salad with lettuce, tomato, articoke hearts, grilled capsicum, hummus and lemon juice. Yum!
