Thread: Here comes the lunch wagon

Nothing wrong with a can of beans for lunch. It's stick to your ribs kinda food. Plus they're so good for your heart!

Yup, nothing wrong with beans for lunch. I add some cut wieners/hot dogs in with the beans and simmer it till the hot dogs plump up a bit. There is a difference between Canadian hot dogs and American ones from what I have seen. The Canadian ones have a soft casing but the American ones have a harder one. Gave up using Maple Leaf hot dogs because they now have the harder casings.

I like the natural casings; the ones with a "snap." It makes your teeth feel involved in the lunch. Now there you gotta have mustard also; mustard and a beer. I think it should be illegal to have a hotdog without a beer. At least that should apply at a hockey game or other live sports events.

Back to beans; my favorite is Ranch Style Beans. Anyone in the south or southwest knows what I'm talking about.

They used to say, "Husband Pleasin'.''...until the bleeding hearts got a foothold.

When you say mustard Paul, do you mean Mustard or that nasty yellow ketchup that's sold in the UK supermarkets as American Mustard?

On a hotdog brown mustard if I can get it, the darker and spicier the better. I like the brown mustard better on most things but I like yellow mustard on a Cuban sandwich.

I like hot mustard(colemans or keenes), I pile that stuff on everything. I also like French or German but i don't even like the smell of that yellow squeezy bottle stuff that my wife likes on her hotdogs.

Cultural thing I guess, I'm not from round here originally of course.

As far as beans go though. The last time I was in the States I discovered Krogers, what a wonderful store and i had my first experience with Bush's Baked beans - OMG where had they been all my life!

Now that is a great can of baked beans!

I grilled some brats and burgers a couple of days ago. It's been my lunch for two days and I think enough is left for one more day. Deep fry some fries and you got a full meal.

I like to have something during the week to hold in my hand and scarf.
Hit a little donut shop this morning as I sometimes do. A little microwave and a bottle of water.
Bacon, egg, and cheese croissant for a late breakfast and a few sausage Kolaches for a late lunch.

Not much for me...anymore.

Basically just snack on things throughout the day, and a meal in the evening.

Here's my typical lunch.
