That would account for the feeling of ravenous hunger then.
So.
Sainsbury’s then.
The Sainsbury that is dangerously close to my primary lair in Westminster is my normal lunch-time buying place.
I realise this is going to categorise me as having a lack of imagination (bring it on!) but I don’t think that my daily lunch of Vegetarian Big Breakfast sandwich, 0.5Kg of fruit, bottle of fruit juice and *cough* small bar of Cadbury’s Caramel, accompanied by a Medio Latté from Costa is too exceptional, do you?
So why is it that today, when I’m in another building (in gloriously quaint Southwark) that the local Sainsbury doesn’t carry said Vegetarian Big Breakfast sandwich?
Yes I can have my 0.5Kg of fruit and my bottle of fruit juice and my *cough* small bar of Cadbury’s Caramel. I can even have a Medio Latté from the Costa that is co-located in this building!
But no, there is no (and there will continue to be no) Vegetarian Big Breakfast sandwich.
No free-range egg, vegetarian sausage, lettuce, mayonnaise and tomato relish filling, delightfully sheltering between two slices of…
Well, you get the picture I’m sure.
I looked at the only real alternative, a Cheese Ploughman’s sandwich (and briefly wondered why a ploughman would be made of cheese. I mean, that wouldn’t be very practical would it? How would he do the ploughing if he was made of cheese? Eh?) but my heart just wasn’t in it.
Sigh.
Enthusiasm waned.
And the devil caught me in my moment of weakness and whispered his seductive but twisted words in to my ear.
And I succumbed.
So lunch today will be a bottle of fruit juice, a Medio Latté from the Costa and…
A pot noodle.
I feel ashamed.
But to make up for my shame, I am forgoing the small bar of Cadbury’s Caramel.
It felt like the right thing to do.
Hahaha – I know where that Sainsbury’s is. And yes, it was dangerously close to my old place of work too. I’m a BLT girl though.
tee-hee, this made me laugh
I’d eat the Cadbury’s Caramel as well.
nuttycow, I’m only in Southwark a day a week. But I find the place so wonderfully quaint. 🙂
Lis, laughter is what I do. Erm. Usually.
S Le, you puzzle me. How would an American known what a Cadbury’s Caramel was? Are you an ex-pat? 🙂
0.5kg of fruit? That strikes me as a very precise amount!
Blame Sainsbury Perpetual. They sell sliced fruit in half kilo portions.
Nothing wrong in that.
The three essential food groups are:
1. Sausage, Egg and Chips
2. Bread Pudding
3. Pot Noodles
Well, that’s what they are in my house.
I have to say I’m a big fan of Sainsbury’s ploughman sandwiches and I can tell you for a fact that they do not contain real ploughman who would be capable of ploughing. I’m glad you did not go for this option as you might have felt disappointed when you realised that there were no real cheese ploughmen between the slices of bread.
Masher, the Egg and Chips and Pot Noodles are worth eyeing you up for alone. Brilliant nosh!
Emma, Hi! The Sainsbury ploughman’s sandwiches are OK, but after the deliciousness of the Big Veggie Breakfast… poor fayre indeed. But I shall go to the farm in rural Oxfordshire this afternoon to make sure that the ploughmen are real and not made of cheese.
