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’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.
