The Mighty Mid-Day Meal

Breakfast is for champions and dinner is historically the meal that brings families together. What then is lunch? It is often an afterthought that comes along around 11A.M. as the stomach starts to growl. Yet it is the fuel that gets us through what can arguably be the most demanding part of the day. In the U.S., bagged lunches typically consist of turkey and cheese or a scoop of tuna salad (neither of which I am necessarily opposed to). Travel abroad and you will see the day meal savored and prolonged. Is there a happy compromise? We think so. What are your thoughts?
