Tiffins ( Indian ) for best bargain lunch I would not touch with a pole. Too much hype and too little authenticity. Nothing Indian about it except the uncook like taste of its sauces and sweetishness of it., MSG comes to mind.
There are better bargain Indian lunches. Of course if you are a lazy SOB and rather stay put on ur butt then walk a block go for it, it does leave you full like a fool.
I give credit to its owner ( a Wharton grade ) whose marketing skills bar none is what makes the college a rave, another "Quiznos" franchise in the making.
But calling it Indian Cuisine....pluzze.

DiNic's was severely disappointing. It has absolutely nothing on Tony Luke's. Read more.

Excellent variation on roast chicken. To go with, I made potatoes in olive oil and seasoned them with pimentón dulce. Yum!

Very excited to try this! Maybe with some simple crispy-roasted potatoes over greens ... with pan drippings as dressing ... something strawberry-ish for dessert ...

Nice! Saffron is truly an underused ingredient.

I always BYOF, and it is almost always sushi. Handrolls individually wrapped in plastic wrap are your best option. Watch the soy sauce and wasabi packs - as liquids, they need to go in your 1qt baggie for security. I put them in a soft cooler. But no, you cannot bring ice or gel packs. It will be fine for a couple hours, don't sweat it.

One of my employees tried to bring a 1 Qt container of hummus. Bad idea. Security did not like that. You have to put it on a sandwich (it is considered a liquid)

Fly First Class, it's a vacation save up a bit more $$$ and treat yourself and you significant other if you got one. Then food isn't an issue snack on what you want some 1st class food is actually edible What are you going to do save it to pay more taxes. If I fly coach [ most a the time ] I take bottled water if allowed and fast maybe a small energy fiber snack for my type-2 Diabetes but travel constipates me and takes a few days to get it going again so fasting is best for me. Who amongst us could do with missing a meal or two on occasion.

Fuck what other people think! Hopefully your own food won't give you swine flu or food poisining for one thing. I'm vegan so if I want something I bring my own eats.

It depends on when I'm flying (I'm a sleeper) but if it's a midday flight, I definitely bring something. Yummy tempura rolls, sandwiches, my mom's homemade cornbread with corn and sundried tomatoes in it- as long as it can be wrapped up and won't get me glares (I've had envious stares and comments at how good something smelled) then I try it. I'm not a raw onion eater, and I wouldn't do anything with a clam sauce, but everything else, including stuff with forks, is fair game! I'm flying next week- now I'm wanting to bring a super salad.

I fly business to Europe so, food or lack of it, is not a problem. However, I fly coach within the USA and I always bring my own food (and water) on board. Buying sandwiches, salads and water outside the gate to bring on the plane makes for less grumpy fliers.

I always pack my own food - it's what I want, I don't risk running out, and it costs a lot less. You just have to be sure what you take meets the 3-1-1 rule, so cups of apple sauce, yoghurt, and the like are out. I take firm fruits (apples, pears, citrus), bags of nuts, cheese sticks, breadly items of some kind (crackers, rolls, firm bread), veggies, granola or protein-type bars, sometimes a fruit-nut snack mix. Sometimes I have leftovers or bakery items; the ones from Thai bakeries and leftover baos occasionally get questions and comments from middle-American TSA agents, but I've never been stopped.

I try to take things that will survive to the destination if the flight is long enough to get some food served. And there are some sites that sell miniature serving packets of peanut butter, jelly, other nut butters, mustard, mayo, and such that need to follow the 3-1-1 rule. If you really need these and fly a lot, you may want to check them out. The big warehouse stores might have them as well, in their food service aisles.

I usually bring my home town's fruit with me.
And Apple a day keeps the flight attendant away.

I always bring 2 peanut butter and fig preserves on whole grain bread.
They stay fresh in the foil for hours and can't spoil, and they are a good snack in case you are stuck on the tarmac for hours waiting to take off.
I also pack protein bars, lots of them. Don't want to starve!
