Lunchtime lately has been from the students’ cooking at the Carrick Cafe. You’ll see a couple of orders in takeout boxes and containers below. I thought this week’s challenge a fun one to create.
WordPress is hoping for some “offbeat interpretations, mouthwatering photos”. The photos are supposed to be taken with a phone. I got that about half right. Once I started searching I had to just stop as there were too too many images of meals consumed at lunchtime!
I think of lunchtime as a short time, dictated by bells. Here is a lunchtime medley from the archives. Some shots I probably would not have blogged before.
And from the online etymology dictionary
lunch (n.) “mid-day repast,” 1786, shortened form of luncheon (q.v.). The verb meaning “to take to lunch” (said to be from the noun) also is attested from 1786:
But as late as 1817 the only definition of lunch in Webster’s is “a large piece of food.” OED says in 1820s the word “was regarded either as a vulgarism, or as a fashionable affectation.” Related: Lunched; lunching. Lunch money is attested from 1868; lunch-time (n.) is from 1821; lunch hour is from 1840. Slang phrase out to lunch “insane, stupid, clueless” first recorded 1955, on notion of being “not there.” Old English had nonmete “afternoon meal,” literally “noon-mea

I love this new food truck craze everywhere.
I wouldn’t want to work in one, though!
I love that star shaped peanut butter and jelly
Love the star-sammie!

such a cheery lot of colourful lunches … mouth watering!
Great post, Ruth. Love that Maura’s picnic included a basket. Of course it did!
hi Ruth:
1 – amused by Ohio State Fair Food Booth!
2 – my wife’s wish a life long: such a puppet house Maura’s grandma has …
I salvaged the doll house from someone’s garbage in a Shadyside Alley. Someone was throwing it away. Years before I even had a grandchild. I felt sorry for the discarded little house.
good, Ruth, to rescue this doll house, compliment – so it still can share his beauty with little girls.

Your beautiful photos made me so hungry! We’re having a food truck festival here soon! Can’t wait to go try some of the food!
I wish I could have lunch with you
All of those lunches look delicious, but you didn’t have a picture of my lunch – a slim fast bar.

As great as those other options were, I’m stuck thinking of all the amazing sandwich combos I could come up with visiting that first deli!
OK, that’s it! *heads off to the kitchen*
Great photos, Ruth. And is that great dog yours?
Don’t know the dog or the diner. Anonymous shot at the food truck festival Ian Columbus Ohio. A handsome beast!
Love the picture of Maura and her picnic and the dollhouse! Divine!
Looks like you’ve been lunching your way up and down the East Coast! Nice post. Thanks for sharing.

I must be out to lunch.. why would I come blog reading after not having a proper supper:D Now I’m on the look out for a food truck. I recall being corrected about using the word lunch instead of dinner, or was it supper instead of dinner?

Food that’s cut into fun shapes is a delight to eat – especially on a carpet picnic! Though I think I like the composition of the onion ring picture the best.
Wonderful selection of photo representing lunchtime. The PB & J in a star shape is very creative. Very nice …
