Anything edible and drinkable. :-)
There are small grocery shops, pizza/hamburger/fish+chips outlets around my
offices. Usually we 'order' some junior and go do the shopping. After hours
are somewhat difficult since no 24 hours place were available then, but now
there is that unpopular macdonald junk shop nearby with those pathetic
uneatable small things they call 'burger' and chips.
We {or at least me} prefer local hamburger / pizza places which can make proper
oversized hamburgers or pizzas.
My offices do however have a full service restaurant operating in office hours.
No alcoholics of course.
Now, I must hurry out to get lunch!
