thehauntingsoul Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) So I start Uni again for the year tomorrow but I have no idea what I'm going to do for lunches. Generally speaking I don't really like sandwiches but its probably just because I haven't really found a good sandwich for lunch. Something about fluffy dry bread that just really turns me off. Usually I'll put like sliced ham/turkey/chicken with onions, lettuce, peppers, marble cheese, and mayo. Its just so bland though. I would really like some ideas for pastas as well but I'm not really sure I will have access to a microwave so that could be an issue. Now that I think of it though I could use a thermos easily enough. So yeah, what are your favorite packed lunches? Mainly I'm looking for things that are quick to throw together but the odd meal that takes a while to make is ok. Alright you're off the leash now, lets see what our Watmm chefs have to offer in this matter. edit: Also, here's a cookie monster for added incentive Edited September 9, 2009 by thehauntingsoul Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide thehauntingsoul's signature Hide all signatures Last.fm SteamID: Thehauntingsoul My EP Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/48815-lunch-food-ideas-for-school/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you could bring a sandwich and dip it in the soups/stews and it wouldn't be so dry.

encey Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 If you are open to eating 'salads' (and you'll see the list shows that to be a rather loose term), here are a lot of interesting suggestions.

Guest Drahken Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Back when I had to walk through the snow to class in the winter alot I'd make a couple baked potatos in foil (ok, technically steamed being in foil but whatever). I'd toss em in the oven when I got up in the morning and just toss them foil and all in my pocket on the way out the door. Makes a awesome hand warmer on the way to class, after which I'd devour them. Probably a bit bland for you, but I always loved it. Now days I'm all about the bento boxes which a friendly neighbor of mine expertly prepares on request.

Guest leprechaun Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 My fall back when I'm too lazy to make a reheatable lunch for work is tuna fish on crackers. Mix canned tuna with whatever ingredients you like (I prefer just mayo and onions in mine) in a tupperware container. Bring a pack of saltines with you and you're set. I also like to carry a salad with me to work - it's pretty much always the same and I have yet to get sick of it. It consists of some sliced cucumber, red onion, grape tomatoes, a few kalamata olives, and some goat cheese plus a little bit of Italian dressing in a small container on the side.

You can spice it up by slicing the potato into slightly bigger than crisp pieces and then putting butter, season salt, and garlic powder all over.

thehauntingsoul Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Word I'm all about these recipies, I'm going to make a grocery list now. Including salads and stuff, what sort of healthy lunch additions do you guys suggest? I'm not really a huge fan of tomatoes for some reason, and I'm allergic to carrots but otherwise its pretty much open Also if you can think of any killer sandwiches with maybe a different type of bread or something.
