Packed lunches

Do you take lunch into work? What do you take? I'm finding my lunches rather under-satisfying. Yesterday, I had a (co-op bought, because I forgot to ensure that we had bread) ham sandwich, a yoghurt and an apple, and this was clearly not enough. Today I had a cupasoup (of the thicker variety), a steak slice and a 250g fruit salad, and this was still not very satisfying.

Clearly, I need more carbohydrate, but I also want things slightly more interesting than sandwiches every day. I had been thinking of scrambled eggs and bread and butter tomorrow...

We have a hot water machine (no, not quite a kettle), a toaster, a toasted sandwich maker, a microwave, a fridge and a freezer.

What you require is obviously more bready snackage throughout the day. I've got hoy cross buns that I butter and nuke, sometimes have crumpets, which handily toast. Or investigate the toastie maker, if it's got waffle plates, you can bring in a bottle of batter plus assorted tasty goo to eat them with; if not, you could upgrade it for them to one that does. In the "real lunch" category, the sandwich wench does a fair range of baguettes, and also wraps. Several other people bring in boxes of left over pastaish or ricey things with saucey, oriental stuff, which microwaves up quite well.
