It wasn't a last supper so much as it was a last lunch… with the best blog/work mate ever, Broccoli. Now we will really need this blog to communicate our food consumption since the dude's now in Waterloo at a new job! We had originally started B&P for that sole reason– because between Photoshop and InDesign, we'd spend our entire day talking about what we ate, where we ate it, how good or bad it tasted and what we'd be eating and drinking later. And then we'd want to see what it looked like (since you eat first with your eyes) and ask each other to show photos. Hence, the birth of Broccoli & Prosecco.
I miss having lunch and coffee breaks with you, Broccoli. Even though the coffee lady at Pasta Mia isn't as nice to me as she is to you. And even though Hank's is hit and miss for me but the turkey sandwich always seems to do the trick for you. At least we got it right by having our final work lunch at a guaranteed winner of a spot, Hiro Sushi on King street. Even though I'd never had the salmon chirashi before, it didn't disappoint in the least.
Eat some delicious things for me in Waterloo and congrats on your new job! We miss you!

The last lunch

Hank's
Some of our hungry loyal readers have been asking us about Hank's since Broccoli and I grabbed lunch there twice this week. Although I did have 2 bad experiences at 9 1/2 Church street previously, this week scored 2 for 2. I wish I could give you a taste of the hearty Moroccan lamb stew I had today. Instead, here's a peek inside our local lunch hangout.

Leftovers for lunch: not just because it's a recession
Who hasn't heard of all the penny-pinching recession tips floating around out there about how much money you can save by bringing your lunch to work or not buying coffees and bringing your own in a thermos so you can also save the environment? But I bring my lunch to work because a homemade lunch tastes better than what I can get down the street. I'm a girl who loves leftovers. In fact, I won't just eat my own leftovers, I'll eat someone else's too, which is just what I did for this lunch. I know this pic looks a bit messy and yucky, but this was one of the best homemade sandwiches I've eaten in, like, forever. Leftover eggplant parmigiana lovingly made by an unnamed Mamma, in a spelt walnut loaf with the insides taken out to create a little 'bed' for the saucy filling. The sauce gets soaked up by the crusty bread overnight and the next day… the best lunch ever!! How can I even put a dollar amount on such hearty, filling deliciousness? I highly recommend scrounging around for leftovers to bring for lunch in other people's fridges. How's that for a recession tip?

Coppa as explained by C
This sandwich is not for the faint of heart… I told Prosecco to follow my instructions and construct this panino. The star of the show is underneath the avocado; coppa made by the hands of Uncle Lou. Coppa is basically Italian for headcheese. A gelatinous concoction made from boiling various parts of a pig's head. That's all I can tell you. The only thing left to add is that it tastes *fantastic*. And that's the bottom line.

Homemade, homegrown lunch
Nothing fancy, but still tasty and memorable. Tomatoes from the garden on frise, basil from the terrace, homemade sopressata, and remember that bufala caciocavallo? Oh so good. I miss homemade Italian lunch. And to think I used to hate tomatoes!
