    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.

      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.

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

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

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

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

          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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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

        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)

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

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

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

          You would be significantly taller than most doors.

            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

                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.

    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.

      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
