They havge just changed the rules about eating at your desk here. they are allowing people to eat sandwiches and other cold food at their desk, hot food must still be consumed in the canteen.
Is that because hot gravy does more damage to keyboards than cold Pepsi?
Or because hot chips cause more injuries than scalding tea?

Cheese requires an investment of time. While the cheese is forming, we could have just scoffed the milk. We have to have defences that made us feel sufficiently secure that we could make that investment.
Neglecting the fact that most of the non Caucasian part of humanity cannot digest milk in adulthood...
Whilst browsing the sausage rolls on offer, one in particular was calling to me. There was something quite spellbinding about the way the light glistened off the grease on that particular one, and I knew I had to have it.
Ooh, now I've got a semi.
I might just have to go and nuke my cheese sarnie so it too will glisten and run with fatty loveliness.

It because of the smell. Most people, including me as it happens, object to having to sit in an office that stinks of half a dozen different food odours.

I have turned down an invitation to attend ClientCo Curry Thursday in the canteen today though.
Why is ClientCo Curry always a disappointment?
At Last ClientCo, they did a lovely Cornation Chicken baguette. Tangy, with chucks of chicken and big, plump, ripe sultanas. Mmmmm.
Their chicken curry, however, was more like a chicken yoghurt. It was like lumpy mansauce served with boil-in-the-bag rice. With the obligatory popadom that has been soaked in the tepid vegetable oil in the fryer. Poor. Very poor.

BT in Leeds used to do a very good Thursday Curry. Mind you it was provided by a completely different catering outfit to the usual crowd ( Compass IIRC ). It was cheaper, tastier and came in bigger portions to boot.
