Where Los Angeles, CA {but originally from London}
Time 12pm
What's a typical lunch for you? Lots of salads with whatever protein I've got on hand. Like this arugula picked from my veggie garden and cold lentils from the previous night's dinner. I added some chopped red onion and mozzarella, lemon juice, olive oil. Or sometimes a simple cheese sandwich with Branston pickle. We Brits grow up eating cheese and pickle sandwiches like Americans do with PB&J's!
What's your dream/ideal lunch? I'm a huge Korean food fan so I could eat Bi Bim Bop and kimchi every day for lunch for ever and ever. Having it delivered to my office door daily would be my dream!
Dessert with lunch? Usually just a cup of PG Tips with cream and sugar and maybe some homemade shortbread or whatever sweet thing the kids and I have made recently.
Thanks Emily!

What is that dish? Looks delicious and light! I love PG Tips w/milk and sugar!
ooh. that does look delicious.
Love this column!
I think my child is British. She would pick a pickle and cheese sandwich over a PB and J any day!

PJ Tips – I love it. A nice slice of British-ness!
Hilarious. I’m british and what did i eat today for lunch.. a yummy cheese and pickle sandwich with a cup of tea. Love the blog, it’s a new favourite of mine.
lentils = love, for sure. and those greens look so fresh!
yummy! i am a recent lentil convert, and the fun bird emblazoned bowl…so fun. i saw emily’s house tour on apt. therapy not long ago (which was amazing!) and discovered that she and i live in the same neighborhood!
I have THOSE VERY SAME ramikins with the lids-the ones with the birds. I have 4 of them. i got them at a yard sale. I serve creme brulee in them. thought you should know. ive never seen anyone else with them.
those ramikins are beautiful, now i have another thing to stalk the web for, besides my stig lindberg bersa 🙂
My mum has dishes in that set, I’ve told her that out of everything in the house they must come to me in the will 😉
It’s called Acapulco by Villery & Boch if you’re hunting for it.
I love Emily! We worked together at the Anthropologie in Pasadena! I am always a Emily Henson Fan!!!
