Does anyone else...
...buy the little pasta pots from Tesco expecting them to taste... well nice, and then get really sad when you open them and they taste all horrible... just me then! :(

...I seem to be incapable of finding things for lunch in Tesco that I actually like, I'm far too sodding difficult, I wish I liked mayo!

My boss just had one of them
He said it was like it had been drowned in vinegar.

I'll drown him in vinegar one day...

Tension?
That would require two of us to be pulling. I just hate his guts. And the rest of him.

Being drowned
in vinegar would be great. I love vinegar.

Several things wrong with that
I don't work - at all. That's not just saying "I don't have a job" it's saying "I don't study when I'm supposed to" Mehhh.

also, you'd ahve to have a good aim to reach all the way up here. Next year eh? Take pity on a poor Kings student!

I want your boss!
Either as my boss, or in my bed. Either is good. Krispy Kremes will all.
(Potty Jag har smör i min rumpspringa, Mon 1 Jun 2009, 12:53, Reply)

I think you might just want him as a boss...
...rather than in your bed... he is quite old and bald and looks a bit like Penfold from Danger Mouse... unless thats your type??

Not really
But I would thank him in my own special way for them. Will do almost anything for a doughnut.

I get mine from Somerfield
Used to love both the Tuna and Sweetcorn variety and the Spicy Chicken. But they only went and changed the bleeding formula! The sauce is more sour, the chicken stringier/stranger but the main pain is the pasta which is soft and weird tasting now. As if it's been way way overcooked.

It has been bought over by the Co-operative though so hopefully we'll be getting a brand new brand of pasta pots.

Well hopefully...
...you'll get some nice ones soon! :)

I used to get a nice honey and mustard pasta pot but that seems to have gone walkies... now I'm stuck with weird ones with sweetcorn in them! Boooo!

Here's a thought...
Why don't you make your own? Pasta salad and its many variants are sooo easy to make and keep well for one or two days. That's Apeface's tip of the day. I've got some great packed lunch recipes as I eat five days a week at my desk and I work in a uni (imagine the shit that passes for food round here in student canteens).

I used to eat these kinds of things and I noticed three things:
a) My stomach was fucked;
b) I was spending craploads of money;
c) I didn't even enjoy them.

I never get sick traveling as my stomach has been subject to all known and unknown viruses thanks to eating at work. Picnics and packed lunches are the new black!

You are right....
...I probably should make my own. I used to make sausage pasta pots which were pretty wicked, but since I've moved to London I think I've got more lazy with my lunch as its just so easy to buy food from a shop!

I like your tip of the day! Thank you muchly! :)

You're welcome
If you want to be sad and share recipes once you get your arse into gear, I'm a recipe junkie :)
Muaks

Sounds...
like a plan!! :)
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Mon 1 Jun 2009, 13:46, Reply)

I agree
Mainly with point 2.

I used to buy lunch 5 or 6 days a week, and was spending a ridiculous amount of money. I've been having packed lunches most days this last year, and I've saved loads.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Mon 1 Jun 2009, 13:37, Reply)

Me too
I figured out I'd spend on average around 10 EUR a day at work. That's 70 EUR a week, 280 EUR a month, 3,360 EUR a year....

Adds up pretty scarily! I need to quit smoking too, and I'll be buying a Ferrari this time next year.
(The Apeface Cherub is not a cunty-uber-cunt, Mon 1 Jun 2009, 13:42, Reply)

To be fair
I'm theoretically saving £5 a day from no longer smoking, but I've not really seen any benefit.

I suppose I don't go overdrawn as often, but that's hard to quantify.

Doh!
Perhaps the key is to putting what you normally would spend into some kind of hamster-protected saving device?

I'm mildly addicted
to Tesco's beef casserole with dumplings.

The regular one, not the Finest. It's yummy.

Plus I buy their tortelloni pasta and their napoletana sauce regularly for a quick pasta meal.
