It’s been fairly well documented that here at HQ, we love FILTH! Whether it be the bacon, sausage, egg and hash brown butty variety (the delight given to us by our Adam), freshly baked choc chip biscuits our in house domestic goddess Emma makes, or a early morning Double Sausage and Egg McMuffin supplied by Jayne, we cannot get enough of it.

Yet recently, there has been a feeling; nay, an unspoken and unconscious collective thought we must try harder to strike a healthy balance towards our in-office sustenance. More of us are bringing in sarnies and salads and grub from home in an effort to cut out the e-numbers and preservatives that are found in many pre-prepared foods. It’s also a massive cost saving. My lunch bill alone each week can range anywhere from £25 to bankruptcy so I’ve turned a leaf and got myself organised, I make my munch and bring it into work.

Today though, there seemed to be a theme of Pesco-Vegatatrianism. Adam brought in a fish pie, lovingly prepared by Youngs (and David Beckham apparently).

I, in keeping with my attempts to stay healthy and get fit, brought in savoury rice, with a medley of vegetables and poached Pollock. It wasn’t bad, but I wouldn’t have ordered it given a choice.



But the Agent who wins the sea farer inspired lunch goes to Ben. After preparing my ‘delicious’ and nutritious lunch I bumped into Ben carrying something familiar and something that sparked an episode of food envy. In his hand was a Lobster Pot bag, containing: sausage, chips, rice and gravy. Ok, not technically a fish course but it did come from a FISH and chip shop.



What’s more, to finish off his chippy tea was a pack of the timeless Chipsticks. Ben, you are an inspiration to us all!
