Lunch looked like a kabob with old meat, peppers, and onions, with fried rice and cabbage, I think? Saw shredded cabbage, and maybe rice?
Chipped Beef on toast can be fantastic.

It can also be gag-inducing, especially if it's being used to hide old bread close to being bold it, old processed meat strips, and a watered down bechamel sauce or even a roux made with powdered milk.
