what do you prepare to eat at your workplace? (linux.community)

I worked bedside nursing. Where i worked we always had extra food trays patients didn't want, meaning I could get up to 2 meals a shift for free.

On paper prohibited but where I worked at this was very extended, convenient and fast.

Changed workplaces and I cannot get any free food anymore. I simply don't know what to bring to the workplace.

If its of any help I like cooking stews, but it's gonna be a hassle to bring that to the workplace. And to bring a sandwich or buy one at the cafeteria? I'll pass.

I like cooking stews, but it's gonna be a hassle to bring that to the workplace.

Stews are one of the easiest things to bring to the workplace. Their quality doesn't degrade when eaten as leftovers, and they reheat very well in the microwave. What makes you think this would be a hassle?

I'd argue that they get better as leftovers. It's the additional time to meld flavors. Chili is another great thing to bring to work, but I guess that's basically a type of stew.

Chicken/tuna/egg salad is my suggestion. Though the way I do it may not work for your situation. I make up a container of it on Sunday and keep it in the work fridge. I keep a loaf of bread in my desk and make a sandwich each day. It's a great way to have sandwiches without the bread getting soggy. This can also work with cold cuts, but it gets complicated if you want condiments.

Soupy stuff while commuting

There are a lot of food containers with air-tight seals that would rectify that situation.

Not denying it.
But I had some leaks which is why I started to reuse a plastic bag to catch any small leaks but it's a thing to keep in mind. (Same with tea in a insulated bottle. Due to expanding air in the bottle it creates enough pressure to break the seal in rare cases)

Yeah this. Not to mention I've seen silicon molds for food prep. Could easily spend sunday with two or three stews on the hob, freeze in those molds when done, and reheated in a microwave in the workplace.
