The Missus might have got wind of (I’m sure she hasn’t, LOL) my proposal to Foodbuzz for a Budget Lunch idea as today’s bento was definitely on the budget line!
Both of us had got up late, and the Missus was not in the mood to make anything elaborate. I just told her that sandwiches would be fine.
I’m not one to complain, what with my bulging waist!

Mind you, when I opened the sandwich package, I noticed that my (?) half had added a little twist. She devised the sandwich as a “double-decker” with three pieces of toasted bread.
The first deck consisted of a layer of guacomole-style avocado paste with tobikko/flying fish roe, lettuce, and plenty of smoked salmon.
The second deck was filled with egg salad. It made for a hearty sandwich.

As for my dose of Vitamin C, I was served the usual bed of chopped greens with boiled violet broccoli (grown in Shizuoka), small pieces of violet lettuce (same grower as for the broccoli), cress, mini-tomatoes, and strawberries for dessert.
I was still hungry past 5 p.m. Oh, well…

I’m back on your blog again 😀
one thing that really caught my mind was the violet broccoli. I have never heard or seen such a thing. Is there a difference in taste or texture from the green broccoli?
Very interesting.

Cheers and welcome!
Violet Broccoli is actually mauve raw. It will turn violet/blue upo being boiled but will switch back to violet/mauve whensprinkled with dressing!
It is a variety grown here in Shizuoka, but I’m pretty sure it must be avalable somewhere else. I know that in Italy
they have a similar variety!
Cheers,
Robert-Gilles
