personally i won`t visit anyone who doesn`t serve a selection of sandwiches, a dainty arrangement petit fours and properly made pimms at the drop of a raised pinky.
Maybe the OP's 'friend' sent a letter to say to come at 2.00 and to pop by Greggs on his way over to grab a bap and a pastie but he'd put a 2nd class stamp on so it was binned.
Also, wouldn't it depend on when the person you visit has lunch? Most days I don't eat breakfast so have my lunch about 11. If I've had a bad nights sleep and stay in bed later lunch might be at 2. If I wasn't making my own lunch I'd never think of making a meal for a visitor. Just a cuppa and cake or biscuit.
Showing up, uninvited at mealtimes is kind of rude anyway.
I also mention the fact of they don't carry butter.
These so called politically-correct unleaded spreads are made out of E numbers holding hands with sludged plastic.
I ensure a tasty alternative is on hand with my packet of Lurpack.
I find as I've got older, I'm always shoving food down their throats.
" Here. Get that down you".
" Get that ate. You look like you'll slip down a drainhole cover."
" Eat that!! It'll only go to waste...."
" Here, Eat this. You look like you could do with a few carveries in you, fatten you up".
You know the sort of thing-all the things your Aunts say to you, even though youre now 50-odd lol
Do we have a moral responsibility to fatten up lunchtime visitors? I think the question should be asked. ......

I've always got something in to give people if they call round. Usually have homemade soup and sandwich fillings in the fridge anyway, and homebakes for a cuppa. I'm a domestic goddess and would be embarrassed to be caught out without anything in to give to guests . I would always offer a drink at the very least - just good manners

I would love to be like that. If someone calls after a big shop we're grand but any other time I'm desperately trying to cobble together a plate of Quite Hard Scone (with little nicks out of it where I picked off a bits of mould) and a couple of Blue Ribands.

For lunch they can fend for themselves though

And I'm assuming that "visiting" doesn't include "meeting with friends".
Your right in the sense they consider me a friend but I don't see them like that. They are merely a resource called upon when required and no more.
Dude, you should hear the things they say about YOU.
Probably about how great the sandwiches I serve are between the hours of 12 and 1.
Yeah, they had no complaints about the quality of your sandwiches. But you know that one guy who DOES make sandwiches when you go round?
They have "the chef's special sauce" in them. They are, in a sense, "made with love".
Apart from the Marmite ones. Those have just been up his bum.
We had friends over last night, I fed them before and after the pub but was too hungover to provide breakfast, I actually still haven't eaten yet

Its so disappointing, isn't it?
My eyes light up when they open the bread bin, and there in open view is a packet of malt loaf
Oh I think it's the height of rudeness not to offer a guest a cup of tea or coffee

I am usually eating my breakfast at this time.
how lovely and welcoming for your visitors.
edit: that`s sincere, not arseholery.
No

That's true actually. My friends and I usually do a bakery run before visiting eachother.
Perhaps you don't? Perhaps they don't enjoy indepth discussions of pegs on washing lines.
