We don't have them, certainly not in the last 10 years, in the house...some guys at work bring them. They don't look that flash, but probably way better than a $6 chicken burger, at the same price point.
Most of my work lunches are leftover meals from dinner...
e.g. "Big Brussell" (long story), which I usually cook on a Sunday evening for tea.
1 lb ground beef, browned,
2 brown onions, softened with the mince
4 cloves of garlic, grated
When all of that "dries" out, stir in a packet of chicken noodle soup, a tablespoon of curry powder, and a tablespoon or two of soy sauce...check for seasoning at this point, and if you like it, it will end up just as good, less salty.
Throw in
two diced carrots
diced red bell pepper
two zuchinni diced
a couple cups of brocolli/cauliflower
Mix well
1/4 small head of cabbage, finely shredded, thrown on top of the mix, and left to steam. When it's wilted, stir it in.
Take 2/3 cup of rice, 1 desert spoon of ghee, 1 tsp cardamom, and a desert spoon of turmeric, and heat, until the cardomom starts to pop (some rice will too)
Add 1-1/3 cup of water, and let steam for 20 mins.
For the cost of 3 weightwatchers frozens, that will feed the four of us for Sunday, and lunches for me 2-3 days. Freezes well for variety (with curries and stuff).
, one of our local pubs allows pensioners to bring their own plate at lunch time. They will put roast beef/lamb/chicken, roast potato, pumpkin, and peas, and gray for $10, cover it in foil, to take home for an evening meal. Good tucker, decent price.
