    Current clientco has the best canteen I've ever been in as well. Shame it's in the other building

        German canteens tend to be quite good I find. IBM in Böblingen have the 2-3 meals of the day, a meat counter, a veggie counter, a salad bar, an Asian bar (cooked for you) and lots of puddings. One of the many canteens at IBM in Poughkeepsie has a Subway and other chains in it along with onsite cooked stuff. Place I worked at in Hamburg was tip-top with fresh fish each day. I haven't been to the one where I am at the moment but do go through the menu each day and does look quite good. The only thing I find is that as an 'externer' you're charged more. When I was at a bank in Frankfurt we just used to go to the butchers round the corner and get a Schnitzel or Fleischkase Brotchen for a much cheaper price (or in the mafia Italian Pizza place with the waitress who had a gorgeous bottom but a sneery attitude.) The trouble is, a lot of places I work are not near a town center so you're stuck with the canteen and Germany tend to eat really fast at lunchtime (they've finished 3 courses while I'm halfway through my only course) and then all go for a stroll.

        I did some work at a carparts manufacturers and lunch was walking over to the warehouse, telling the dinner lady what we wanted and that was thne shoved in the microwave. Another one I worked at, everyone got their meal and then a pint of beer, which was nice...

          Jerk chicken and individual trifle with a free biscuit is your idea of Michelin-star dining? I suppose when Nandos is your idea of a classy date venue, you're easily awed.

                I guess that explains why IBM prices are so high?

                  Trifle is evil, you're right. Disgusting, soggy devil's food.
                  Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
