Looks super tasty and healthy! Is this a regular occurence or an outlier in your company?

Honestly, it's not mine, I found somewhere else, but it seems to be a regular occurrence from what I've seen

In NL. €3.50 for a bread and salad bar, cup of soup, and a mystery warm dish.

Mystery dishes in the past have been tacos, skewers, meatballs, broodjes.

Lunch in the Netherlands is a worst kaas scenario.

I’m super envious… do you have to pay it out of your pocket or is it paid by the employer?

YourPrivatHater , in [Your much does your meal cost] 8€ meal at a factory in Germany.
@YourPrivatHater@ani.social avatar

For 8€ it should be more. But the quality looks good.

jol ,

Does it? Not 1 single green thing in sight? For a work cafeteria I would hope for a balanced meal.

Edit: my bad, the pool of cream has some green bits in it, so it's technically a salad. Carry on.

YourPrivatHater ,
@YourPrivatHater@ani.social avatar

I cant decide if the red and white stuff is onion or some veggie. Stuff doesn't need to be green to be tasty and balanced.

riodoro1 ,

If you can’t recognize a fucking onion im sure your diet is perfect.

YourPrivatHater ,
@YourPrivatHater@ani.social avatar

There is a similar looking type of salad that is often eaten in Germany.

SaintWacko ,

Purple cabbage. And it does look similar

YourPrivatHater ,
@YourPrivatHater@ani.social avatar

Its eaten like salad though.

We do have actually purple cabbage but its usually eaten hot and looks different.

There are some dishes with it where its eaten cold, but it makes the cabbage usually more purple beyond it being mistaken for something else also due to the texture. Many Döner stores put it in the Döner dishes cold as well, tastes great.

Love cabbage. Sauerkraut based, high on vitamins.

SaintWacko ,

Ah, here in the US it's often used as a garnish to add a pop of color

YourPrivatHater ,
@YourPrivatHater@ani.social avatar

XD thats some use of it in the Premium Dining here as well, but i think it tastes too good to just eat it in small quantities for the color, its healthy and tastes great when done right.

They call us Krauts for a reason XD

SaintWacko ,

I agree! I'll just eat it raw lol

intensely_human ,

“Where’s the green stuff?”

“We got this purple thing”

“Excellent. Carry on”

englislanguage ,

Yes, it is onion and yes, it is some veggie because onions are vegetables 😀

YourPrivatHater ,
@YourPrivatHater@ani.social avatar

lol

intensely_human ,

I don’t think that’s what “quality” means here. It refers to the competence with which the food is executed.

jol ,

Fair enough

Moghul , in [How much does your meal cost] €3.75 meal at a Danish Engineering company

I pay about 8 euros for something similar, also in Denmark, but my employer covers it. It's not always great but it's way better than bringing anything myself.

Shellbeach , in [How much does your meal cost] €3.75 meal at a Danish Engineering company

Honest question: is that enough for lunch? I'm 1,57m 55kg and I feel like I eat more than that. Although it's hard to gauge the quantity of the mystery meat bowl

Found the American

OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe ,

Man gave his height in meters and his weight in kg unprompted, we just don't do that in America.

I'm the American (and yeah, the portion looks small, but I'm 2.43m and 120kg)

crispy_kilt ,

No, you're not 2.4m. That would be 8ft.

OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe ,

You would be correct. I'm not 8ft, just tired and lacking attention span to do basic math. Thank you for the correction

TonyTonyChopper ,
@TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz avatar

you don't need math to give your height properly, just a metre stick or measuring tape

OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe ,

I know my height, didn't know it in metric, remembered the conversion incorrectly, posted that. Hope that helps clear up the confusion

lud ,

If you aren't trolling, you are ludicrously tall.

You would be significantly taller than most doors.

OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe ,

No no, I wasn't trolling, just stupid and on lunch and somehow remembered a teacher laying two foot-long rules down and saying it was a meter

Ignore me, about 2 meters total. 6 feet and 5 inches

KevonLooney ,

...

A meter is almost exactly the same as a yardstick. Why would anyone use two rulers?

Master ,

He had to use 2.43 rulers.

wieson ,

To get one of those cut off measurements, google yardstick rule 43

OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe ,

I got my education in a rural town of a backwoods region. They had a drive your tractor to school day. A lot of kids took the first day of bow or gun deer hunting off. I also don't think he had a yardstick, this wasn't a math class and so he had no business talking about units of measurement.

lud ,

Fair enough, lol.

2 meters is tall but not crazy tall like 2,4 m

GBU_28 ,

My dude that's yogurt and 2 plates of varied food.

magi ,

More than I eat for lunch lol

anzo Mod , in [How much does your meal cost] €3.75 meal at a Danish Engineering company

Ausländer im Germany, 7€ for a potato's soup with one sausage cut in pieces. Or, a schnitzel with fries. Or, noodles with bolognese. And... I pay for it with my salary.

pumpkinseedoil ,

If you pay with your salary I assume that means it gets subtracted from your gross salary? Which is better than paying directly.

Still overpriced

anzo Mod ,

Oh no. I meant that I pay as "normal".

mindbleach , in [Your much does your meal cost] 8€ meal at a factory in Germany.

That's like serving a hamburger patty beside a slice of cheese and a squirt of ketchup, with the bun on a separate plate.

barsoap ,

Döner Kebab in bread is a much more recent invention than the same thing on a plate. Traditionally you'd get rice dunno how it's in Turkey but in Germany there's generally a choice of rice or fries.

Thus what you're looking at is a Dönerteller mit Pommes, arguably a very sorry one. Technically the salad is present, in practice, no, salad generally consists of more than just onion. You can order "Nur Zwiebel" instead of "Mit Alles" but they're going to feel sorry for you.

mindbleach ,

Mit pommes frites should be on the pommes frites. The whole thing belongs in one mess of a bowl. Deconstructing a kebab like this is a travesty.

whome ,

Depending on the meat it could be considered a Gyros especially with the Zaziki

crispy_kilt , in [Your much does your meal cost] 8€ meal at a factory in Germany.

Where are the green things?

Successful_Try543 ,

Cucumber as the dish is Tsaziki.

crispy_kilt ,

I know, that's like 5g of vegetables with 100g of saturated fat on the tray. This is a very unhealthy menu.

Successful_Try543 ,

Sorry, I've read 'what' instead of 'where'.

telllos ,

OP probably decided against the green things.

crispy_kilt ,

I hope OP stays healthy

crispy_kilt , in [How much does your meal cost] €3.75 meal at a Danish Engineering company

That looks really nice. I'd like this

@RubberElectrons@lemmy.world avatar

Man.. that looks like a lovely lunch. We don't get that kind of thing in America while at work, that I've seen. Hell, we don't really even have cafeterias anymore.

GBU_28 ,

Well not for that price, but there are restaurants that serve food like this

RubberElectrons ,
@RubberElectrons@lemmy.world avatar

I know, gotta pay for it 🙄

Anticorp ,

Microsoft offers similar or even better lunches at similar prices for employees. I gained 15 pounds during my first six months there. LOL

RubberElectrons ,
@RubberElectrons@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah but windows 11 is a war crime lol... Jk I'm glad you're getting cared for

Anticorp ,

I left there years ago, but thanks. And yes, Microsoft produces some very shitty products that are worse than all their competitors, yet they retain the lion's share of the market.

skyspydude1 ,

When I worked at Bosch a about 4 years ago in the US, they had a really solid healthy lunch option like this for $5. Sadly, I think they did away with it during COVID. It definitely exists at some larger companies though.

RubberElectrons ,
@RubberElectrons@lemmy.world avatar

I work for an energy company in the US, only wish we had healthy looking lunch like this. Ah well..

DarkSpectrum ,

That's because it's real food. America should try it sometime

@RubberElectrons@lemmy.world avatar

I eat like this at home, I'm a reasonably good cook. What's the point of your comment?

MadBob , in [How much does your meal cost] €3.75 meal at a Danish Engineering company

I work in a kitchen so it's usually a bit of leftovers, but restaurant-quality leftovers, you understand.

xilliah ,
@xilliah@beehaw.org avatar

I like cooking at home, do you have any tips for me on how to get quality ingredients? The market is best for me so far and it's nice being able to ask questions to the merchants.

MadBob ,

Expat shops and wholesale places if you can get an account, I suppose.

crispy_kilt , in Europeans, how common are random spam phone calls in your country?

Never got any

crispy_kilt , in Is pasta with sugar a breakfast?

Sounds disgusting.

aluminium , in [Your much does your meal cost] 8€ meal at a factory in Germany.

Is your employer not subsidizing it? Its a common practice in austria. 8€ was the price people outside the company had to pay but we only payed like 3€. Also at a large industrial factory.

trollercoaster ,

Germany used to treat its workers well, too, but that was 40 years ago. Since then it has been going down the drain, thanks to a certain former working class party selling out their core voters to big business.

wieson ,

That's also how I know it from Germany (Siemens, SEW, BASF)
