Lunch thread? I'm eating Pescatarian Lasagne which involves celery for some unknown reason, but it tolerable, if not that great.
What exciting things are you having for lunch?
Alt: I recently read a book which made me realise that there are reasons for becoming a catholic priest other than a desire to bum small boys. What preconceptions have you had challenged lately?

I could poach some smoked haddock and prawns in some milk with peas/onion/bay, thicken the milk into a white sauce, add some parsley. Then flake up the sauce and layer it between pasta, then for the top layer add some melted cheese to go crunchy.
I reckon that would be quite lush actually.

I have discovered that whilst the rice takes a while to defrost, when the chicken is in strips, it defrosts quickly. This leads to nicely cooked rice, and fucking volcanic chicken. My mouth hurts now.
Alt: Me and a couple of friends were at the pub a while ago chatting nonsense, when we see a skinny whippet of a lad, more gold on him than Tutankhamun's death mask, and walking like he's carrying a couple of carpets under his arms walk across the floor, whilst holding hands with a similar looking chavette (well, it seemed that way).
We immediately start wondering aloud why idiots like that are allowed to breed, let alone come into our pubs. Imagine our surprise when he approaches the bar, and asks the girl what she'd like to eat. She turns (and we see her face for the first time) and we are shocked to see that she appeared to have severe learning difficulties, and was being helped.
This lad that we'd been looking at like something we'd stepped in only a few seconds earlier was actually a carer for this young lady, as we discovered when we walked around the corner to find a group of about 5 helpers, and a group of special needs adults.
