I would like the generalise the OP to suggest that anything fish based which is nuked in the microwave should be avoided at all costs.

Things you shouldn't (have to) eat for lunch in the office.

It's not the 80s.

egg sandwich.

Any kind of curry. MacDonalds.

Basically see the women eating on the tube thread.

I used to work in an office where quite a few employees headed off on a Friday to the local all-you-can-eat veggie curry house.

It was like working in a bloody wind tunnel come mid-Friday afternoon.

I sit next to an Indian guy, who brings in home made veg curry every day. It smells amazing.

Once upon a time I worked with someone from Singapore who when she was feeling poorly would heat up fishy porridge im the microwave and eat it at her desk. For breakfast. That was quite challenging.

Monster munch Pickled Onion Flav

Come on, even out doors this is a challenge

[Robert Poste's Child]

As someone said on the rage thread, sometimes it's not so much the smell as the noise. When a friend of mine chews she sounds like a horse eating stones.

Cupa-soup Asparagus

Come on, that stuff is plain wrong

I stopped giving my Niece work based on her consumption of that stuff alone

Harsh I know, but it was the soup or me

I don't understand this comment

I once worked in an office sitting opposite a Bangladeshi bloke who threatened to report me to HR for persistently eating bacon sandwiches from a greasy cafe around the corner for lunch, in his view I was disrespecting his faith.

That's about as annoying as Subway caving in to calls for ham to be withdrawn from certain stores, if you don't like it, don't go in there. FFS

This always makes me think of a former colleague who would have fisherman's pie at least once a week and heat it in the microwave in the office. She was really lovely, but I hated her for that alone! (I don't do fish and the smell makes me feel sick)

Forget HR. He should have been reporting you to your GP.

I didn't either ruffers! Thought back in the 80s people actually did make time for lunch or going down the pub. The way it should be before hot desk call centre hell type offices came into fashion where no-one dared leave their desk.

edit: suffers?!

Yes think Jeremy hit the nail on the head, fish nuked in microwave. Never a good thing in a communal kitchen.
