What do my fellow wagecagers bring for lunch when all that's available is a fridge and microwave?
Nothing. I eat a hearty breakfast and a light dinner. I'm not doing physical work so that's enough.
>>20430395what i used to do was bring a thermos and fill it with rice and whatever meat i had in the house at the time (usually porkbelly or pork shoulder)now im unemployed so i cook at home
My wife bakes pork scotch with some kind of mustard marinade, slices it and puts it in a whole wheat pita with red onion, red cabbage and radish all marinated in salt & vinegar.That's most days unless she slow cooked ribs which is a treat for me.
I simply do not eat at work
>>20430395Wraps is good, sometimes I'll bring one in during the morning and by lunch time it's room temp. Wraps don't get soggy like stuff with ordinary bread.
>>20430560I like eating at work, I can bill for the time.
Ready to drink meals
Peanuts, sunflower seeds, fruit, boiled eggs
>>20430395Leftover pizza slices. By the time it's time for lunch or dinner then it's warmed up to room temp and I don't have to deal with morons.
>>20430395I bring what I like to eat for lunch /duh. This is easy!I also add a frozen water bottle to my lunch bag and do NOT use the company fridge whatsoever.For some random day I forget my lunch bag, I have a microwave-vented lid soup bowl and a can of progresso in my desk, to enjoy with crackers or slice of bread, if I dig deeper into my desk.Lunch might be leftovers from the last night (or from the freezer from like a week beforehand, in a portioned container). Or it is a simple egg salad, chicken salad sandwich, or a deli turkey and cheese. If it's chilly outside, I might use a ciabata roll and nuke a ham and cheddar sandwich a few seconds to get melty. I might go through a period of making a flavored cream cheese and smoked turkey wrap in a wrapout lavash , with a handful of veggies and lettuces.
>>20430395Salami sandwich, cheese, and sausage.
>>20430666That's serious stuff at 666https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RxT5CBHsJALive by the river.
>>20430395I just brought in frozen dinners. Not about to go full Michelin in a place that pays minimum wage.
>>20430665Beware, some nigger might hock a loogie in the tuna salad sandwich on that ciabatta roll.
>>20430395just leftovers. We cook 3-4 times a week, so leftovers at home too.
I wagie from home. So usually leftovers or I make something quick like a quesedilla or ramen.
Normally I bang threw lunch. But if I don't it's usually hot dogs. Anywhere from 1 to 4.
We have a bakery on the other side of the office, usually something from the daily lunch special or leftovers from the night before.
>>20430395you get pizza delivered, dingus
i live a few minutes from work so i go home to get away from my retarded coworkers
I meal prep by brining and smoking all my meat. Basically all of my food is cheaper than yours, tastes better, lasts longer and is healthier than anything you cooked on the spot or bought at the store, and you're pretty much retarded compared to me.
I only go to the office 1 day in the week, i usually cook something. Microwave it for lunch
>>20430395Usually either a bagel with unsalted and unsweetened almond butter or peanut butter that's just with salt or a meal shake. I also bring those tiny yogurt shots.
>>20430395i drive to the local mcdonalds, pick up some grab (using the app, free fries), and then sit in a grocery store parking lot far away from everyone with one of these on my steering while. listen to some NPR while i enjoy my meal.
>>20431261You listen to NPR for peace? Are you some kind of raging homosexual?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVXfkG7q_0s
>>20430493>My wifeImagine kissing a mouth that's had dicks in it
>>20431270I can only imagine that being some NPR. PBS, or MSNBC, or CNN regurgitated and repetitive shit.
>>20431270A little birdie told me that your asshole and mouth are connected to the same tube. Seems a little gay to me, idk. But you do you, man
>>20431335That don't bother me because no dick has ever graced my asshole, dickbreath
it was always too much of a hassle to pack food so i toughed it out but then my coworkers are always "wheres your lunch?? arent you hungry???" and then I always worry they think im impoverished or something and cant afford food. Like no bitch its just tedious. however packing food lets me avoid that so whats really more tedious yknow
>>20430395Just cook a double portion for dinner and take the left overs for lunch the next day.
>>20431668Hell is other people.
>>20431690well honestly I dont mind, it would be nice to have a social life lmao. I just dont need them judging me because of this stupid belief we need to eat every two fucking hours. Do i get hunger pangs? yea, kind of, but I get over it. if I'm sitting all day I dont need to eat like a fucking athlete. its like fuck off and leave me alone, im trying to not be fat here.
>>20431270But I didn't kiss you
>>20431957You don't know that for sure unless you've never kissed anybody.
>>20431690only if you're a blithering autist.
>>20431229>No Bone Rot!that's suspiciously specific...
>>20432264
>>20430395I don't have a job but I used to have cigarettes for lunch
>>20431682tfpbp
>>20430395i would order food and pick it up. im not eating microwaved food. or find a bro and split pizzas with him.
>>20430395im a tradie and I tried bringing a cooler to work with subs and shit, and I was so fucking over it after 2 weeks. now I always go get fast food at either a fast food place or a local hole in the wall chain or something. sometimes I'll ask the owner if there are any good places nearby. Ive found really good places by doing this and it's become a perk of the job.
>>20430395I started filling a pen with water to get "cigarette breaks" and made sure to always take hour-long shits at the office
>>20430395I’m not even a wagie, but I often dont have the ability to have lunch
>work at diner>hate breakfast foodit hurts. you think you wouldn't get tired of cheese grits, or bacon, but it does, it does get tired
>>20430395I work 12 hour nightshifts and don’t eat anything because if I consume anything other than caffeine and sugar I will fall asleep
I make a burrito bowl type thing made to microwave. It's pretty good and can be made in bulkmeat>Ground beef made with normal taco seasoning>once beef browns, throw in onion, and red bell pepper>once softened, dump in a can of fire roasted tomatoes, some better than bullion chick paste and a touch of water to scrape the fond>leave some liquid so it doesn't dry out in microwaveblack beans>dry mostly, easy to make in pressure cookerQuinoa (only time I prefer it to rice really)>made in a Spanish rice style, a touch extra water to keep it hydrated>Be sure to put a Serrano pepper or 2 for some heatand top it with a little pepper jack. Filling, easy to make in bulk and reheats well. You're not making steak to eat in the wage cage
I make a stew or roast on Sundays and that becomes my lunch Mon-Thursday; Friday I only eat breakfast and immediately when I get off I get shit hammered plastered
>>20431797Look you young wippersnapper, you being hungry makes you harder to work with, they're gently trying to urge you to make better choices so you don't burn out and cause problems
>>20433438im not a retard who gets hangry. Heck i dont even get PMS. I'm a stone cold motherfucker all the way through. Life is unfufilled without the ups and downs of emotions
>>20430609>Wraps is goodI read that as "Wasps are good"
>>20433706They are good there's no reason to bother our nest.
>>20433712>our nest
>>20430395I used to always go out for lunch, except my night crew job where I had to bring food because nothing's open at 2am, in which case I always brought a grindah
mondays always get some unhealthy crap from the nearby filling station cause fuck it its monday and I need something to look forward to tue-fri I usually just have tea, a pita bread and some fruit
We always get stuff catered. Sucks to be you.
Some rice and chili mixed together. It's fine but I'm really sick of eating microwaved rice.
>>20434226Damn his hands are as blue as his shirt
>>20434226>better made chipsbased Michigander
This
>>20434226>We always get stuff catered. Sucks to be you.>Laps up whatever cheap crap that the management provides>Doesn't earn enough to go buy quality foodSucks to be you.
>>20431218One has mucus (or Shrek semen), the other has ketchup on it.Not sure which is worst
>>20430615Damn. Every job I've had doesn't pay for lunch.
Get on my level.
>>20431655We can change that ;)
>>20435669PUREDESPAIR
>>20431270The fuck is your problem?
>>20435663What pisses me off is that my work requires you to take a mandatary unpaid lunch break.
>>20433671You sound hungry. Go eat something and we'll revisit this.
>>20434226Lettuce sandwiches... lucky you bro.
>>20435754>adds another hour to your shift to make up for it
>>20433671Pre_Man_Syndrome
>>20430395Usually I just eat the protein bars and chips they put out in the break room
>>20430395zattarain's rice with ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning, black beans, onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, sometimes I'll put salsa and guac on it.
Egg salad sandwich most days
>>204356696 feet under?
>>20434226Baller. This son o’ bitch actually made it
>>20435754Yer, my company did this. Was struggling financially so made us take a staggered unpaid lunch hour during the day. Would rather just be let go home an hour early
>>20430395It kind of depends on your breakfast, but you can't go wrong with a sandwich or wrap. If you're concerned about calories just eat half of it for breakfast. Getting a thermos and making soups can be a good option too.
My company's cafeteria makes some really great breakfast tacos, so if I don't have any leftovers to take with me in the morning or if I'm just feeling like a fat fuck then I'll just pig out on those and that'll coast me through till dinner.
We eat out for lunch. I had this today, I doubt any of your rednecks even know what this dish is called.
>>20436714chinese carBOREnara
>>20436718Nope, why must everything be a version of white people food?
>>20436714You paid for that? Jesus Christ man, that shit's dire.
>>20436748What else can you get for 1000¥?
>>20436751>What else can you get for 1000¥?Out.
>>20436757Oh don’t worry I’m an American, I’m just here teaching English.
>>20436714Mmmm ramen
>>20430395soupssaladscarb + stew/meat in sauceI avoid dish with dough (pizza, quiche, pies, etc.) because microwaves make the dough way too soft, I wish our work had an actual oven.The last lunches I brought were:- red lentils soup- chicken in a cream/butter/onion sauce + rice- cabbage rolls- squid salad- tomato soup- mafé chicken with couscous
>>20430400Absolute soy mentality
>Pasta from the night before>Overnight oats>Roast veggies and potatoes>Raw veggies and fruits>Plain yogurt>Nuts of various types>Cheese, usually in curd or tortillon form>Pasties/empanadas with meat or cheese and potatoes>Stews with meat>Fried rice for daysI basically bring leftovers from cooking at home and generally avoid reheating meat for obvious reasons. I prefer to cook meat fresh or have it in a form that won't have its texture ruined by the microwave.
tomorrow i will walk to the lebanese restaurant outside of work and i'm gonna get a chicken shawarma wrap and some baklava.
>>20431261>eats in car>grease and food odor goes straight into the upholstery>smell never comes outi hope that's a rental car anon
>>20431268we're not the samehttps://youtu.be/BFvgWguaC9g?si=k6gvEZRh_iVgaEj-
It's fuel.
>>20430395Overnight oats with some granola and pumpkin seeds. Only purpose is to fuel me up, food enjoyment is reserved for home time.
>>20435669None of the ingredients of your sandwiches need to be refrigerated
>>20430395Bagel with cream cheese and a bag of chips, only have a 10 minute break during the shift and then it's back to work.
>>20435040>burned prawnsYum!
cup ramen, especially convenient if your work has a coffee machine with a hot water spoutthe trick is buying multiple flavors, including the ones you don't particularly likeone good flavor you'll get sick of after a while, a handful of mediocre flavors you'll never get sick of
>>20438803This and beef is good
>use to eat in the office>fat fucks in the office ALWAYS stole food>decide to stop putting hot sauce on my food at my desk>just make shit spiced up and shove in the fridge >don't think about it for a bit>Fire fighters and ambulance at our work one day>Fat fuck McGee having trouble breathing and his eyes are on fire>turns out fat fuck decided to steal my food which I just used my normal sauces for>started choking on the spice and wiped his eyes getting residue in them>flipped out and needed the whhaaaamerlance>HR sends out an email to make sure that food is not hazard to bring into the office all food has to be ziplocked with names on it>my food never taken againWasn't even my super spicy shit was just Endorphin rush hot sauce on a chicken bacon sandwich with jalapeno cheese bread.
For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.
>>20438272grim
>>20430395i usually just buy a salad or something light.
>>20439449what kinda salad or something light?
>>20438832I know those kinda people. I brought some blairs mega death to work and my coworker wanted to try it. i said "just use a toothpick first" but he poured it on his food, cried, and was in the bathroom all night. Another guy almost shit himself on one of those $1 marie sharps or whatever airplane bottles
>>20438842>"McChicken Sauce" It's mayonnaise you blatant retard. And they would only call you "three for free" to mock you for being such a dumbfuck weirdo. You're entire story is fucking pathetic.
>arborist>bring lunch into the tree>eat lunch in a tree like a monke
>>204394909/0
>>20439463usually ceasar, but sometimes garden. if its not a salad its like a bagel or a yogurt. i dont usually eat much in the middle of the day.
>>20439490anon, you do realise this is a copypasta right? https://www.twitchquotes.com/copypastas/5259
>>20435663>>20435754Sucks. I'm technically entitled to a 30 minute lunch but literally everyone just "works through lunch" and just eats at their desk. Only one boomer actually sits down in the break room which blows my mind since he's also chosen a 9-5 schedule and commutes an hour each way.
>>20437793>texture ruined by the microwaveDo you ever use the power mode options on the microwave? If you just blast it for 1 minute then it dries out, but set it at level 5 for 5 minutes and it's not noticeable
>>20430395I usually meal prep, so this week I'll be having:https://mealprepmanual.com/cheeseburger-skillets/By far my most common lunch is just chicken + broccoli + rice.For breakfast I usually have overnight oats, which will be something along the lines of:>Oats (50g)>Greek yoghurt (100g)>Unflavoured whey (1 scoop)>Frozen blueberries (50g)>PB2 powder (10g)>Drizzle of maple syrup>Water
We are making it big baby
>>20439549>Calls people boomerProbably poor and bad work ethic. Kys
>>20441654What makes you say that?
I've seen people claim similar items will give you worms but I like them.
>>20442350the worms make you smarter and stronger if TV is to be believed
>>20435669man I haven't had a PB&J in twenty years.
>>20433712Post stinger
Borscht. Cold or heated it’s fine
>>20439497every climber i've ever known was a huge literal faggot. as in, they were either overtly or secretly way into taking dick. i've fucked like five arborists and every one of them is their team's climber and the scrawniest of the group, which is probably why they're in the role they are. they all also smoked more weed than any other person i know, at all times, including on the job. does my info check out or have i finally met another type of climber?
>>20442596>i've fucked like five arboristsLOL>does my info check out or have i finally met another type of climber?it doesnt unless youre on the east coast then it makes 100% sense
>>20431270Imagine dying aloneOh wait you won't have to cause that's what will happen kwab
>>20430395Nothing, I work in a kitchen and can make a burger whenever I want. If anything, I bring green tea bags and cigarettes.
>>20430395I get about three of these guys from the vending machine. Used to get four but I'm on a diet right now.
>>20442620I'd rather die with my dignity and pride still intact than to have another man's semen enter my throat via a woman who has taken multiple dicks at once. Maybe someday you'll understand Gary.
>>20430395I make up burger patties which I take to work separate to a salad sandwich. I heat the burger patty up in the microwave at lunchtime and put it in my sandwich. Works, and makes your sandwich a little more interesting.
>>20438272Jesus christ nigga...
I Doordash some goyslop at midnight because I'm stuck at work for 12 hours and not able to leave. Wendy's chili tonight. It was pretty gud.
>>20431960Oh he knows for sure
