What to do for lunch when working for a living can be a social minefield

Up in Newcastle I used to favour the stottie shop. A stottie is a bread bun the size of a dustbin lid, usually served quartered, because not even a Geordie can eat a whole one. My favoured filling was a cheese and mushroom omelette. A butty the size of your head, filled with fried eggs.

Heroic times.

Today I had a venison sausage sandwich with homemade tomato relish from the farmers' market that's on campus one day a week.

Sadly they only operate in termtime, so they're now finished for a month. Boo.

Two refrigerators, two freezers, a pantry the size of a washer/dryer laundry closet (side by side, not up and down!) and I am just today told by the son the younger, that there is nothing to eat around here--which is why he needs taco bell.

Aah, the old "This house has only got ingredients!" cry.

Now imagine it coming from a 30-something.
