Best cold lunches to take to work?

[booklover164]

I am avoiding using the microwave now and wondered what your best cold lunches are. So far I have:

Dahl ( don't mind it cold)
Pasta pesto
Baguettes
Pizza

Any other ideas?

Sandwiches
Wraps
Salads
Quiche
Sushi
Ploughman’s
Soup in a flask with a scone.
Crudités and dip
Pates and bread

More ideas...they are obviously American based but they're a good starting point

Last two...

I just take the night before's leftovers. But I am a savage and will eat anything cold if it's got enough sauce on it

@NoImNotPregnant that is what I have for lunch everyday minus the ryvita! I LOVE cottage cheese 😋

Following- aren't allowed to use microwave at work anymore due to COVID

Cheese and crackers
Hummus and crudités
Cup a soups/noodles
Chunky soup in a flask

• stew/ homemade soups/broths/ chilli in a food flask

Cous cous or pasta or quinoa with sundried tomatoes and olives roast veg / chicken / ham / boiled eggs / falafel / hummus and salad

Stuffed peppers with cous cous / sundried tomatoes / olives and feta (made the night before and eaten cold the next day

Pasta pesto with cherry tomatoes

Frittata / quiche or even half of one of the pre-made Spanish omelettes asda and Morrison’s do with salad

Sandwich’s / wraps

Some lovely ideas on this thread to try !

I just posted on another thread. I've just started a packed lunch instagram if it helps anyone with some ideas.

@myhubbieslunchbox

I have a wide flask (got in Tescos and was about £16) and make soup

Otherwise falafel and green salad
Quiche
Ham or chicken salad
Crajcers and cheese or hummus

No more microwave at work, no more shared milk, not sure aboit shared fridge.

I am planning on buying a tin for ryvitas to keepat work, and taking flasks of soup - as all the windows will be open, I don't think a cold lunch will be enough...

Yes.. it's the same at work with us. I might bring two flasks. One with tea and one with soup.

Are you allowed to use the kettle?

I used to take really thin dried noodles, veg like sweetcorn/peas and cooked meat/fish like prawns or chicken or something. Throw some herbs over the top and a stock cube and then at lunch time pour boiling water over the top. It’s not cordon bleu but it was quite nice!!

Alternatively, I’ve started making a cheats chowmein and eating that cold! Quicker than making a salad in the morning too!
