STERLING STINGER Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I am so sick of general sandwiches for lunch... lunchmeat is starting to turn my stomach. at least the regular lunchmeats are. what do you guys take for lunch? i need some ideas please. i have access to a microwave and a toaster oven.... please help me eat!!!! Thanks! Paul
whowey Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I eat leftovers about 70% of the time.. whatever I had for supper the night before is lunch the next day. Meatloaf makes an EXCELLENT sandwich...
Automan2164 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Cans man. Soup, Chili, Gumbo... If it's in a can, and will slop out into my bowl at work, I have it. Super simple, never goes bad within reason, and cheap. Rob
SW86 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 peanut butter sandwich and a nutri-grain bar. ill mix it up with different snacks but the sandwich stays the same
Pete M Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 back in the day I had a jar of peanut butter, a jar of honey, and some bread in my desk. made my own sandwich right there each day. never did get tired of it. :D think I'll go have one right now... :drool: nowadays, I don't have a job (and am single) and I make my food a gallon or 2 at a time (mostly from scratch). I then divide it up into meal-sized portions using Ziplock's awesome semi-disposabe tupperware and don't have to cook dinner for days. :) (a side note on the tupperware; the 2 square sizes share the same lids so there's no searching for the right lid :yes: , and they are cheap enough that I don't mind ditching them if something goes wrong. love them!) upon reflection, I guess I benefit from the ability to eat the stuff I like for days a a time with no risk of boredom. :yes: though I imagine there are limits. I certainly don't make the same thing for my dinners each time.
86customanche Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I usually make the same sandwich everyday myself and can get kinda bored with it. I will try to go out to eat once a week or everyother week. If you like Chinese food, I have found these little cartons that you put in the microwave and 5 or 6 min later you have a great meal. No work needed. Just another option (they are extremely cheap at walmart :thumbsup: )
cocy Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I usually make sandwiches for my self but I switch up the bread a lot pitta, tomato bread are my favorite, or use a begal. some times I cook roman noodles in a coffee pot lol or just eat cans of soup or pineapples.
btm24 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Since I live alown and spend 90% of my time out I the field or in school I eat out ALOT :ack: and have left overs the rest of the time. Or egg salad :D Brandon
Exxon Valdez Jeep Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 whatever I have time to grab on the way out the door! Sometimes its a 2liter of soda and a bag of chips, other times its left over tri tip steak with apples! poptarts are always close by, and all sorts of granola bars. HungryMan dinnners if I know I a going to have access to a microwave or cans of chili, mac and cheese, tuna, or cans of soup! :cheers: and then there is 7-11...
boardmanMJ Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 What I like to do is get a half sheet of pizza from my favorite pizza place and eat it sparingly throughout the week. I like to mix it up and order different toppings on my pizza too. I like it cold so sometimes I put ranch dressing or BBQ sauce on it too. Josh
ComancheKid45 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Ramen Noodles :roll: I probably have "fast food" 2-3 times a week, or else just leftovers, but i have the advantage of coming home for lunch ;)
87MJTIM Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Microwave bowls of Campbells soup and/or Chef-Boy-R-Dee...mm mm good. Don't forget to have a spoon handy.
Automan2164 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 ...Don't forget to have a spoon handy. I look like some sort of weirdo because I grab handfuls of sporks every time I go to taco bell. They are the only ones who still have them. I load up and leave them in my toolbox at work. I always have what I need, be it soup or salad. It's the most versatile utensil. Rob :D

Rob :D I'm the weirdo that empties the napkin dispenser.... Never know when your gonna spill. I usually take pb&j, gold fish, granola bar, and a couple cuties. I recently switched from strawberry to black berry jelly.... Sometimes I mix it up and take a salami sandwich, the kind with the pepper in it. Occasionally if I'm at home I have a peanut butter and dill pickle sandwich. My grandpa used to eat those...
terrawombat Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Sporks were a stroke of engineering genius. I've always wondered why they've become so scarce...
mvusse Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I usually take a snack pack pudding, a yogurt, handful of granola bars, optional bag of microwave popcorn and three sandwiches. I try to keep my sandwiches mixed up so I don't get sick of anything, but all time favorites are meatloaf (the home made stuff), egg salad, chicken salad and cookie. Yes, a cookie sandwhich. Butter two slices of bread, put two speculaas cookies (a spiced Dutch/German cookie) in between them and enjoy. Learned this in 5th grade camp, and never outgrew it. Also European staples like choclate flakes or Nutella. I also like Heinz sanwich spread (the Dutch variety), but after 25 years I still have not found it in North America yet.
pwrliftin Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I'd say what I eat for lunch everyday, but I'm in Culinary school so it changes delicious everything everyday! Well some days not so much, so I opt for smoked turkey, swiss, and dijon mustard!

Well some days not so much, so I opt for smoked turkey, swiss, and dijon mustard! Luckyyyyyy. In my Napolian Dynamite voice. Maybe you have some good lunch ideas for us. I'm sure I'm not the only one sick of eating the same stuff. Lol. Thanks!
pwrliftin Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I'll see what I can come up with! And never under estimate the power of ramen. I worked with a guy that was in the Pen. for a few years, dude made ramen look gourmet!
