Have seen some site staff eat some hideous stuff in the site hut.....
Whats the worst or the most scrumptious lunch-break spread you have encountered?
1. A bowl of coco-pops in chocolate milk laced with strawberry milk-powder topped with a handful of MnMs (lush)
2. A two-day old congealed high-street kebab with solid yellow mayonnaise (truly goppin)
3. Spag boll with a sprinkling of instant coffee (looks minging but surprisingly palatable)
4. Cream cakes with a liberal fag-ash topping (hideous but vanished rapidly)
5. Sweaty blue cheese portion swimming in its own green sauce after hours on the van dashboard in the sun (Truly divine)

Begs the question. What is the average lifespan of an archaeologist?

Most scrumptious though, definitely the night before's curry eaten cold
Quite popular over here (?land Islands) is k?ttpirog, which looks and smells exactly a like doughnut but is filled with mince...not sure if that's scrumptious or disgusting....

Not sure. If it's any help, I'm not dead yet

Cold baked beans straight from the tin, with Ambrosia rice pud to follow. Or my usual favourite of a cheese (any will do) and jam sandwich. Yum.
