in your defence, people who bring packed lunches into an office clearly hate themselves so a bit more misery will probably go unnoticed

i do a lot of lease renewals, oppositions and landlord/tenant disputes in your part of the world
i've never once had to deal with a decent staff restaurant as part of the alterations/reinstatement, let's put it that way.

we own the building
Hot buffet, salad bar, theatre cooking, loads of cakes ... it's not Michelin starred shit but it's free and better than a fridge sandwich or a burger van

I miss working for oil companies with decent canteens.
There's something good about a canteen lasagne, especially the corner piece.

They tend to keep the office workers away from the coalface, so to speak.

Didn't someone (probably Gonz) once post a pic of a lasagne dish that was arranged so that everyone got maximum edges?

(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Thu 23 Oct 2014, 10:45, Reply)

Was it swasitka shaped
That would give maximum edge

^wilted primula sarnie for lunch ^

(old man river possible lesbian, Thu 23 Oct 2014, 10:33, Reply)

i've never had primula
i proper horrified our french head of catering/sommelier at a client dinner party once, though. i pointed out a cheese on the magnificent cheeseboard that i thought was delicious and asked what it was.

"boursin, madam," he replied with a visible shudder. i'd never had it before.

i don't care if it's for plebs, that shit is some tasty shit.

An ex-GF of mine used to eat Primula squeezy cheese and ham - from the tube.

Now it's getting to winter my standard fare is 2 sandwiches and a pint of homemade soup.
Cheese sandwiches dip well in soup, fact.

oh god
dunking bread in soup, worst of all the swipe food infringements.

*faints*
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 23 Oct 2014, 10:39, Reply)

Dunking sandwiches is fine.
If it's just bread you tear bits of and throw it INTO the soup.

Apparently a bag of ready salted works well in tomato soup.
