add hummus, falafel, cherry tomatoes and cucumber
In the toaster???
Fish Finger Sandwich with loads of butter on extra thick white bread. All of it purchased from a supermarket, we’ll have none of this artisan nonsense in Sunderland.
FTW
mama creamy tom yum noodles - yes there is more goodness in teh packet than the noodles but my god - they are tasty!
Go to local oriental supermarket.
Pick up pack of ramen that only has enough English written on it to allow you to cook it as intended, in your flavour of choice.
I’ve had some lush ones… (edit, including the ones @vanhalen mentions 😊)
Toasty of sorts made on the top of the Aga.
Aga?! A blummin Aga!?
I can see a lot of warehouse operatives agreeing with you there.
🙄 Wfh types... 😂
microwave until hot
oh good god no.....
one's heats gently in the pan, which is allowed
the best toastie is corned beef, onion, cheddar and Worcester sauce
Yes!
As for this thread, if you can't include cunning ways of using up leftovers that's most of my hot lunches excluded.

Always some of these in the cupboard. Normally "hot" in both ways. Most have sone kind of oil sachet that make them work so well. Mmmm... fat...
Stir fry - asian style veg and chopped up mini sausages with some sauce
Stir fry aka skillet aka puttipanna - last night's leftover veg with either leftover meat or more mini sausages, chopped and fried up with barbecue sauce and cheese
Refried beans with cheese and hot sauce on top
Beans and cheese/mini sausages (yeah I like mini sausages)
Sausages/fish fingers and some veg
Lunch today,
Frozen chips in the air fryer, couple of buttered slices of Warby's finest: the 15-minute chip butty.
Surely it’s a one pan full english (other regional variations are available)

Cunning ways of using up leftovers counts. Just reheating a previous meal doesn't.
I have two options:
Bosh baked beans (make a big batch) - https://www.bosh.tv/recipes/bbq-beans-on-toast
or sweet potato fritters (batch again) - https://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/marcs-winning-sweet-potato-fritters.html

I'm going into a carbo-daze just thinking about it.

I sometimes have a cooked breakfast for lunch. Always feels slightly wrong though.
Wholemeal/granary bread, toasted, tuna (in SW), a little mayo to make stacking easier, sliced avo, strong cheddar & Red Fox Red Leicester melted in the grill, wholegrain mustard and a little mayo on the other slice

Then deep-fried?

I think lunchtime is the perfect time to have a cooked breakfast. Having one at breakfast time makes me a bit queasy.

Fair enough. I'm the other way round.
I tend to use three pans though, so mine would not be eligible for this thread anyway.
Omelette in a roll/wrap with butter
Any leftovers from yesterday in an omelette (is that allowed?)
Many on toast options, partial to fancy tinned sardines
Many sarnie options, partial to bacon and runny egg

Bubble and squeak with a fried egg on top
Actually most leftovers with a fried egg on top
Tinned tuna, kidney beans (or any other pulse) chopped left over veg. Onion, mushroom, pepper, tomato, whatever. Add chillis fresh or jar and fry. Add cheese to melt. Place in wrap, dry fry wrap with all ingredients in / on. Eat, delicious. Go heavy on chillis.
Oh yes, huevos rancheros
To kick us off, I’m currently enjoying Indian Bean Surprise – one tin of baked beans, tablespoon-ish of curry powder, half a teaspoon of chilli powder, mix it all in a bowl, microwave until hot, done.
I have to admit, Indian Bean Surprise is having an, in retrospect entirely unsurprising, effect.
*parp*
Well, I had same as @kayak23 for my late/quick lunch today. Not a whole set of shelves full though........tasty but always make me drowsy afterwards.
Does last night's leftovers count?
A very creamy Leek, Squash, Fennel and Hazelnut gratin. Heated up in the microwave.
Chorizo. Chop into chunks and fry. Remove when browned. Chopped onion in to brown in the oil out of the chorizo. Tin of chickpeas in complete with 'juice'. Cooked chorizo back in. Simmer for 10 minutes or so until most of the liquid has gone. Salt. Pepper.
Fish-Finger massive, where are you sourcing them? I prefer the ones in batter as opposed to orange breadcrumbs. Can't find them anywhere.

Sheesh...

Dirty pizza: Wrap/tortilla smeared with tomato paste & sriracha sauce, grated cheese and whatever random stuff you want on top. Today was a torn up slice of ham I found in the fridge, some dried herbs plus a swish of olive oil cos I'm classy. 5 minutes in an oven so the cheese melts. Sometimes I put a fried egg on it too.

I used to quite like stirfrying leftover lasagna and eating it in a butty. But thinking about it - that was usually for breakfast.
Fish-Finger massive
Youngs or Birdseye from Tesco normally if going 'posh'. Or Iceland if we're passing one. Not averse to using Tesco Finest cod bites either
Shakshuka
huevos rancheros
Yes velocity Inverness does a mean huevos ranchers.....
In Africa I used to for lunch eat.... Curry super noodles /tin of tuna / significant amount of cheese melted in.
I hardly eat lunch(or breakfast), more a one meal type. But if i do it will be microwave pasta, usually macaroni/cheese type thing..
Surely it’s a one pan full english
probable thread win
I guess I do sausage first, then breads, then bacon, then eggs. Sometimes piling things on top of the sausage to free up valuable pan space.
Question. I've never onepanned a breakfast with beans or mushrooms in.
How does one handle the beans and mushrooms in this concoction?
I'm also suspicious of the remarkably clean toast in that picture. I sense a foodstuff not fried with the rest.
For the perfect fish finger butty (which I’m definitely having for lunch tomorrow) ….
Best to chuck the plastic cheese on the fish fingers as you finish cooking them to melt it, then into Warbies toastie smothered in proper butter then doused in ketchup 😃
What a bunch of prissy Sunday school attenders you all are.
Pan fried steak with al dente vegetables.
Prep time: 2 mins
Cooking time: 4 mins.

Fried rice, fry up some veg, add some leftover rice, whisk up in an egg or 2 and add to pan (mix it in or clear a space in the pan and let it firm up first before mixing, let the mood take you!). And some soy and chilli flakes. Adapt to what is in the fridge.
That Hugh Fearley-****install abomination is possibly the saddest looking thing I’ve ever seen.
It looks like it tastes of tears and antidepressants
Slice and fry halumi.
Place onto slice of bread with lots of butter.
Cover in sliced jalapenos
Squirt of lemon juice
Cover with the other bit of bread with lots more butter.
This is looking more and more like a brazen attempt to win thread of the week.....
Not looked at that DIY pot noodle link above but, around fifteen years ago when I had an indoor job with access to a kettle my lunch consisted of a sandwich box, ready prepared with a sachet of the cheapest (9p I think) Tesco instant noodles, a cheap cream of veg cuppa soup and a teaspoon of curry powder....food of the gods!
One tin of these -
One packet of these -
Heated through in a pan, at grated pecorino or other hard cheese of choice and your favoured hot sauce.
Mmmm beany rice treat *chefs kiss*
