What Senior Government figures are eating for lunch (its not a Farage PFL)

Nigel Farage is well known for his Proper Fucking Lunches which invariably include G&Ts several bottles of good red wine and port, and what might be termed gastro meat pies.

We now have some indication of what Senior Government figures eat for lunch. Attorney General Richard Hermer has done ‘Lunch with the FT’ at a Turkish restaurant in inner North London.

Meanwhile Starmer and key figures such as Pat McFadden and Darren Jones met at Chequers on Friday. The media based on its 24 hour news cycle reported this as planning how Starmer might survive the next few days. It probably was but it was also looking at what will be in the King’s Speech in May (if he survives several days with Trump)

The menu for the FT lunch is above. Hermer had the menemen, a Turkish dish of scrambled eggs, tomatoes, onion, peppers-often with crusty bread

At Chequers lunch was egg mayo sandwich, spanakopita ( a Greek dish of spinach & feta in filo pastry) and lemon drizzle cake.

No alcohol was served at either lunch which is just not a Farage PFL. And yes since I’m a North Londoner too I enjoy both menemen and spanakopita. A diversity of cuisine which in these cases does not include meat should be celebrated.
