Man… that looks like a lovely lunch. We don’t get that kind of thing in America while at work, that I’ve seen. Hell, we don’t really even have cafeterias anymore.
When I worked at Bosch a about 4 years ago in the US, they had a really solid healthy lunch option like this for $5. Sadly, I think they did away with it during COVID. It definitely exists at some larger companies though.
I work for an energy company in the US, only wish we had healthy looking lunch like this. Ah well…
That’s because it’s real food. America should try it sometime
I eat like this at home, I’m a reasonably good cook. What’s the point of your comment?
Microsoft offers similar or even better lunches at similar prices for employees. I gained 15 pounds during my first six months there. LOL
Yeah but windows 11 is a war crime lol… Jk I’m glad you’re getting cared for
I left there years ago, but thanks. And yes, Microsoft produces some very shitty products that are worse than all their competitors, yet they retain the lion’s share of the market.
Well not for that price, but there are restaurants that serve food like this
I know, gotta pay for it 🙄
Looks super tasty and healthy! Is this a regular occurence or an outlier in your company?
Honestly, it’s not mine, I found somewhere else, but it seems to be a regular occurrence from what I’ve seen
I pay about 8 euros for something similar, also in Denmark, but my employer covers it. It’s not always great but it’s way better than bringing anything myself.
In NL. €3.50 for a bread and salad bar, cup of soup, and a mystery warm dish.
Mystery dishes in the past have been tacos, skewers, meatballs, broodjes.
Lunch in the Netherlands is a worst kaas scenario.
I work in a kitchen so it’s usually a bit of leftovers, but restaurant-quality leftovers, you understand.
I like cooking at home, do you have any tips for me on how to get quality ingredients? The market is best for me so far and it’s nice being able to ask questions to the merchants.
Expat shops and wholesale places if you can get an account, I suppose.
Ausländer im Germany, 7€ for a potato’s soup with one sausage cut in pieces. Or, a schnitzel with fries. Or, noodles with bolognese. And… I pay for it with my salary.
If you pay with your salary I assume that means it gets subtracted from your gross salary? Which is better than paying directly.
Still overpriced
Oh no. I meant that I pay as “normal”.
Honest question: is that enough for lunch? I’m 1,57m 55kg and I feel like I eat more than that. Although it’s hard to gauge the quantity of the mystery meat bowl
My dude that’s yogurt and 2 plates of varied food.
More than I eat for lunch lol
Found the American
Man gave his height in meters and his weight in kg unprompted, we just don’t do that in America.
I’m the American (and yeah, the portion looks small, but I’m 2.43m and 120kg)
No, you’re not 2.4m. That would be 8ft.
You would be correct. I’m not 8ft, just tired and lacking attention span to do basic math. Thank you for the correction
you don’t need math to give your height properly, just a metre stick or measuring tape
I know my height, didn’t know it in metric, remembered the conversion incorrectly, posted that. Hope that helps clear up the confusion
If you aren’t trolling, you are ludicrously tall.
You would be significantly taller than most doors.
No no, I wasn’t trolling, just stupid and on lunch and somehow remembered a teacher laying two foot-long rules down and saying it was a meter
Ignore me, about 2 meters total. 6 feet and 5 inches
…
A meter is almost exactly the same as a yardstick. Why would anyone use two rulers?
I got my education in a rural town of a backwoods region. They had a drive your tractor to school day. A lot of kids took the first day of bow or gun deer hunting off. I also don’t think he had a yardstick, this wasn’t a math class and so he had no business talking about units of measurement.
He had to use 2.43 rulers.
To get one of those cut off measurements, google yardstick rule 43
Fair enough, lol.
2 meters is tall but not crazy tall like 2,4 m
This one actually looks good. Decent amount of veggies too.
That looks really nice. I’d like this
A simple espresso here in London - £265 (https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/britain-most-expensive-price-cup-coffee-shot-mayfair-b1152253.html). I’ll see myself out…
I’m super envious… do you have to pay it out of your pocket or is it paid by the employer?
I’d be hungry again in like 10 minutes.
