Do you use a brown bag, or do you have an actual lunchbox? Is it insulated? How much food do you bring, and what types of food?

Thanks in advance, I'm super interested by this type of relatively mundane stuff.

For myself I usually bring some kind of sandwich in a paper bag, nuts/dried fruit in the bags they come in from the store, and tea in a thermos. All of those things in my backpack.

I live in an 18-wheeler for most of the week; I keep a mini-fridge behind my passenger seat. It's mostly there for drinks, but I save some shelf space for sandwich supplies. Deli meats, cheeses, etc., plus some occasional treats in the freezer. I generally just slap a sandwich together, maybe pop it in the toaster oven for a bit, and then I'm off again.

My microwave gets some occasional action, and every now and then I'll use my coffee maker to boil some ramen. I'm also thinking about hooking up a crockpot for this winter, have soups or stews going while I'm driving all day. Just depends on what food I bring onto the truck; convenience store and vending machine prices hurt my wallet, so I try to stay away from those.
