|  Posted Oct 9, 2002 by Researcher 108409 Why not do something different? You could do a pasta salad, or a rice salad (both of which you could warm up, if you have access to a microwave)... Or pack a couple of roasted chicken legs, a tomato or two, a spring onion, a few salad leaves and a sharp knife, and make your lunch as you eat it?

 Posted Oct 9, 2002 by aendr couscous salads are nice, as are rice salads.
Try couscous with sundried tomatoes and fresh torn basil leaves (the basil is picked from your pot of growing basil which you can buy at the local supermarket and pray you don't kill it before the time you want to eat it)

 Posted Oct 10, 2002 by Demon Drawer (Really wishing he could put what he wants in here, but he's not upst with hootoo) My grandfather used to have a massive old thermos flask and we would be able to feed 4 adults and two children with the Irish traditional food Champ.
Mashed potato and scallions (spring onions) with knobs of butter.
When you are having a packed lunch in Ireland even in the height of summer you have to consider staying warm.

 Posted Oct 10, 2002 by Researcher 108409 Often overlooked for packed lunches is pizza. Good either as the main part of your meal, or something extra to nibble on.

 Posted Oct 10, 2002 by Batty, ACE - Keeper of the Holy Tail, Pirate, Thingite, Priestess of Bleep, Born Again Tart I usually prepare enough the night before to take leftovers of some sort. If it's roasted chicken I make a chicken salad with homemade olive-oil mayo (I don't like regular mayo so it's the only way I'll do it) and fresh dill or with tzatziki instead of the mayo/dill. If I have left over rice/pasta/couscous I throw it into the salad as well. Beef or pork also make great salad.
A nice piece of fruit and some tomato/veggie juice and it's a great lunch.

 Posted Dec 21, 2002 by Boozkachu Hmm actually why are students so obliged to eat vast swathes of cheese?
Cheese is a big thing round my way, along with other staples as beer (cheap please) and high grade cannabis.
Just an observation.
