Let’s Do Lunch

Now that August is here, there’s really no deny­ing it: the end of sum­mer will be here before we know it, and it’ll be back to the grind­stone for all of us. The end of sum­mer spells the end of week­ends at the cabin, the end of knock­ing off work early to spend the after­noon at the beach, and the end of long lunches on your favourite patio. We can’t do any­thing to change that, but we can help make brown-bagging it a lit­tle more palat­able this fall with one of Urban Har­monie’s charm­ing reversible and reusable lunchbags.

To win one of your very own, just hit the “com­ment” sec­tion below and tell us the weird­est thing you’ve ever seen some­body eat for lunch, or the most out­landish thing you’ve ever had for lunch your­self. On Sun­day, August 19th, 2012 we’ll choose a name at ran­dom and one lucky per­son will win the lunch­bag of their choice! Urban Har­monie has even offered to make one just for you, with any two of their cur­rent fab­ric options.

And if you’re won­der­ing, the weird­est lunch we’ve ever wit­nessed was a peanut but­ter and dill pickle sand­wich. On rye.

    Can’t say my entry chal­lenges pick­les and peanut but­ter, but peo­ple tease me all the time for eat­ing all my left­overs cold — pasta, stir fries, soups, even burgers!

    After hav­ing been out of town for a while and not being able to get to the gro­cery store, I recently made myself a sand­wich out of salal berry jam, tahini and a stale pita. It was sur­pris­ingly tasty.

    I once watched in hor­ror as my coworker ate tuna and peanut-butter on a rice cake. I thought that was pretty weird. My own per­sonal weird­est lunch was a dish of dill pick­les and a straw­berry milk­shake. You can decide which is stranger.

    Pan­cakes with melted ched­dar cheese and rasp­berry syrup

    A peanut but­ter and bacon sand­wich. I hear it is quite tasty but I’m a veg­e­tar­ian so I can’t say for sure.

    I think the weird­est thing I ever ate for lunch was a hot dog with peanut but­ter on it (chunky peanut butter).

    Isn’t it funny how so many of the quirky food com­bos have peanut but­ter in them?

    The weird­est thing I ever had for lunch was tripe. ( cow stom­ach) My mom makes it and brought me a con­tainer of it to bring to work. My co-workers were mor­ti­fied, but if you can get past the appear­ance it’s really quite tasty!

  8. Man­gos and Water­melon with CHILI PEPPER and lime…

    The weird­est lunch I have ever seen some­one eat was sar­dines and mini marsh­mal­lows mixed into straw­berry yogurt — the smell was pretty over­whelm­ing — with­out the sar­dines though, it was pretty yummy.

  10. At the age of 5 I made lunch for myself by open­ing the fridge and pro­ceed­ing to eat an entire jar of pick­led her­ring. It upset my tummy so much it turned me off the stuff for life!

    When I was in high­school I would toast 2 Eggo waf­fles, and then use them to make a sand­wich with a slice of cheese and ketchup! LOL!!! Peo­ple thought I was crazy… until they tried it and loved it! I hadn’t eaten it since high­school (which was a LONG time ago), but last week­end, I was served a pan­cake and I ate it with… you guessed it, cheese and ketchup! Still good. HAHA!

    As A (Former/now un-empolyed) preschool Teacher Daily my co-workers would make fun of my hobo lunches that I would unravel from a plas­tic save on bag..They would vary from crunchy rot­ting veg­gies to an un-cooked pack of mr.noodles with the sea­son­ing sprin­kled on top :[ (rent’s high).. As for a lunch I’ve seen the chil­dren eat din­ner left­overs dipped in apple­sauce this wasnt uncom­mon either 3 of them adopted this :P
