Lunchtime work food

[Padders 2,849]

Your cold bacon reference reminds me of a chap many years ago who, if we worked Saturday morning, would bring in cold fish and chips which he had bought Friday night on his way home from the pub. He would sit down with us and eat them stone cold at the mid-morning break, he wouldn't even bother warming them up in the welding rod oven. At least his tea was hot lol. This was not a one-off, he did it every Saturday he worked

 

Had too chuckle at that Mr T. Pop em the micro wave.

I still take ham and picalily, yoghurt, biscuit and some fruit - usually a lemon three days a week. Sometimes shove a pack of crisps in bag. Thursday or Friday I'll treat myself to a pork butty from Kings or a best from little cafe on Leverson Street.

 

Can't be healthy all the time.

My far better half still does me a pack up of 2 breadcakes with different fillings daily ,crisp and a small choc bar/mini pepperami not that healthy but better than buying every day

Try finding a microwave on a factory floor in the mid-sixties.. Lots of places to warm food up in a steelworks though, that lad just liked 'em cold. Another weird one more recently was that a couple of Scottish workmates over here used to warm up scotch pies and put them between two slices of bread and eat them like a sandwich. Apparently, it was a very common habit in Glasgow.

I knew a lad who loved porridge sandwiches, but he wasn't a Scot.

Scotch Pies are minced sausage meat in a pie crust pastry, bit smaller than a pork pie and usually warmed up often eaten with mushy peas.

Thank you Mr. T. and you can buy 'Scotch Eggs' near where I live, not worth the money tho'.
