Assuming you have now had your lunch...

An Almond Magnum - just come off the golf course hungry and thirsty- expect a cup of tea will have to do - still trying to lose some lard!

A prawn curry with chapattis.

My predictive text just changed chapattis to hepatitis!

Me too, fish and chips , mushy peas, bread and butter and a brew. Tasting them now!

Oh yes forgot the brew

Please can I have a bit of everything you have all mentioned except Nelliemoser's marmite. I just like food !!!

Fresh, still warm, crusty bread, buttered, and covered with Primula cheese spread.

Scottish oatcake and honey. I had Transpennine Rail sandwiches for lunch - not very satisfying but they did give us a bag of crisps as well. I brought the oatcakes with me but will have to forgo the honey until I can raise the energy to go out and get some.

ooh, fish and chips.... I'm back to the gruel routine now, sadly.

I must get into my dress
I must get into my dress
I must get into my dress

(Niece's wedding coming up!)

Smoked salmon with a blob of crème fraiche on a blini.

Can you stop at one blini, harrigran?

Well, it's 6.15 pm so it seems years since I had lunch, an unsatisfactory sandwich from the local shop as I was between 'things'. I fancy mashed potatoes with butter and some of the free range pork sausages they sell at the Ludlow food shop, along with some green vegetables. What I have is an M&S thai fish dish….

Chip shop chips and thick white buttered bread. With tomato ketchup and salt. Low tastes, me!

Yum Ariadne but without the tomato sauce!
I am not allowed to mention 'chip butties' in our house. DH thinks they are the lowest of the low
(and he likes corned beef hash, no accounting for taste!).

Jinglbellsfrock mentioned thinking about food is nearly as good as eating it - which reminds me of a chat I had with my mother (I was only a youngster at the time) and she said that she and her mother (my much loved Granny) during the war and the severe rationing, would talk about all the things they would love to eat and would compose meals (four courses) and that after they had done this they actually felt quite full! A wonderful example of "mind over matter". This was apparently a really good game to play when in the bomb shelter. Apparently Grandpa didn't join in!!! He was, in my Granny's words, "a miserable bugger"!

A Yorkshire chisscake (baked cheesecake with rum soaked raisins in a pastry case). My mother made great ones. They were a delicacy in the village I came from.
(I haven't had lunch yet as I am currently in California.)

I had lunch out, a ploughman's with no bread, so I could eat lots of cheese. Pudding was cherry pie and ice cream. I was so full afterwards that I couldn't have eaten anything.

I would like a large slice of chocolate cake and icecream please. Diagnosed as diabetic 3 years ago it's not going to happen unfortunately. I actually had a pate sandwich for lunch which I really like but not as much as chocolate cake

Jomarie..... Loved the story! I like all suggestions on here, but the chip butty has won the day, even though the last time I had one was about 40 years ago.Now, it's all I can think about.

I was thinking of chips tonight too. I can't think how I managed not to make any. I must be either getting better at self-deprivation, or my memory is going so fast that I forget what it is I am craving.

Am now craving an almond magnum.

Oh, please, janer! Do you have to say those magic words? Just a tip - Waitrose have a great selection of choc ices which are at least as good as M*****. And they are not paying me commission, though certain members of my family might have even better bonuses next year.

Well actually - the almond magnum materialised! I had forgotten until I read here, I bought some mini-magnums for DS and he didn't eat them all.

I don't have a Waitrose nearby, which is extremely fortunate.

Alas, janer, Waitrose is my corner shop! What a misfortune.

I bought some croissants in Waitrose yesterday and we had one for brekky today with apricot jam and coffee and yoghurt and they were yummy.

My mum's steak and kidney pie mashed potatoes and veg (spring broccoli - white - not purple) followed by her treacle (syrup) sponge pudding and custard. I've just had dinner but could easily eat the above, given half the chance, only if cooked by her though. She went to pastures new a good few years ago, - alas......

Just had a tuna sandwich and a Liberte greek yogurt so am not hungry but that almond magnum keeps swimming into view. Might have to have one on Saturday if we go out for that big country walk we have been threatening to do.
