What can you use on a sandwich for lunch at work besides lunch meat?

Question

Please read first before replying... I am trying to think up more things I can put between two slices of bread for my husband to eat quickly, at room temperature/slightly cool with his hands at work besides lunch meat... It also must be something that can be stored safety in a locker at room temperature or slightly cool with ice packs (no fridge or microwave)...I need some ideas, can anyone help? thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try roasted peppers or roasted egg plant or a cheddar cheese spread (look for it in the diary section) or just a cheese and tomato sandwich.

Answer 2

Tomato & onion sandwich, egg salad (which is fine if it's chilled w/ice packs), you can also buy the flour tortillas & make wraps out of vegetables, cheese spreads, etc. You can cut those into little pinwheels, too, if eating quickly & neatly is the big issue. What about peanut butter & jelly, that's an oldie but goodie which will probably bring back great childhood memories!! Back in the day (80's), those of us who had packed lunches for school never had anything to keep 'em chilled, but no one ever got sick...just a thought. Also, fix a grilled cheese & send with a thermos of soup! I actually use the Campbell's Soup at Hand for lunch, as I normally eat while working at my desk, too.

Answer 3

I know this may seem obvious, but does he like peanut butter and jelly? Also, maybe try a sandwich based on a spread or vegetable such as a sweet potato sandwich.

Here's a recipe: 1 small sweet potato (about 7 ounces), peeled and cut into three 2-inch-thick slices
1 tbsp plus 2 tsp honey mustard
1 tbsp light mayonnaise
1/4 tsp poppy seeds
4 slices whole wheat bread
4 red onion slices, cut 1/8-inch thick
1/2 small avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
4 tomato slices, cut 1/4-inch thick
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterrey Jack cheese
1/2 cup finely shredded lettuce (or alfalfa sprouts)
Cook sweet potato slices in boiling salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water, then drain again. Let cool for 5 minutes, then cut each slice into two thinner slices. Whisk together honey mustard, mayonnaise, and poppy seeds in a small bowl. To construct the sandwiches, first spread half the poppy seed mixture on 2 of the bread slices, then place half of the onion, avocado, and tomato slices on top of each slice; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Add a layer of sweet potato slices, cheese and lettuce. Top with remaining bread. Slice each sandwich in half, securing each half with a toothpick.

Answer 4

If he likes hotdogs right this is an concept... get a thermos tall sufficient for hotdogs. Boil water interior the morning, place a hotdog or 2 into the thermos and pour the hotwater over it. via lunch time he will basically would desire to empty the water and the hotdogs would be advantageous and warm. %. a pair peices of bread or buns in a zipperbag and you're arranged! basically be sure you get the pre-cooked sort hotdogs, not the type from a meat counter. this equipment gets them warm by yet would not truthfully cook dinner them

Answer 5

I just asked my husband since I make his sandwiches for work and sometimes there's no fridge there. He says plain ol' PB&Js.

When I used to take food to a job with only a locker to keep it in, I'd make sandwiches (with meat though) on different types of bread, rolls, spreads like pesto or grainy mustard or olivata spread. Toss in more veggies (even sprouts) and different cheeses and they're great.

Answer 6

I like to take tuna/chicken/ham/egg salads in my lunch to eat with crackers. I work in a factory where the break-room is upstairs so I usually just keep my lunch downstairs in my insulated lunch bag. The break-room gets to crowded & noisey so I eat downstairs. I don't know if your husband likes things like that but it's a change from just plain ole lunchmeat!
Hope I helped. Ya'll have a Happy New Year!!!

Answer 7

Peanut butter
Peanut butter and jelly
Cheese slice

Include a pop top can or stand up pouch of tuna in his lunch and he can put that on the bread when he's ready to eat

Answer 8

PB&J is always a great choice.......if you cook a roast at night, roast beef sandwiches are good the next day and don't have to be super cold......if he likes canned meats (ie: Spam), they keep them on the shelves in stores so if he pops one of those open and throws it on there is should be ok...............other than that, I'm not sure anything else won't go bad....anything w/ Mayo is pushing it if it gets too hot.

Answer 9

I used to really enjoy hummus, tomato and swiss sandwiches and wraps. Other ideas: peanutbutter and jelly or honey, there are lots of really good flavorful cheeses and cheese spreads, hardboiled eggs and mayo, egg salad, chicken salad, ham salad, tuna salad, creamcheese and pumpernickel, salmon cake sandwich with cheese (good hot or cold), BLT.

Leftovers can make really good sandwiches too such as roast beef, baked chicken, meatloaf, prime rib, turkey breat, cornedbeef, pork roast etc.

Answer 10

Corned beef on an onion bun with creamed cheese is scrumptious, and I think that this would keep fine for a few hours.
