Meals That Can Be Eaten Cold?

So I have a school trip coming up, and it's a day long trip. We are supposed to have lunch to the small town we are going BUT with my several food sensitivies and overall weak stomach, I really have to bring my lunch BUT I don't really know what I am going to take...

I asked my teacher to check with the restaurant to see if there was a microwave (then I could heat up my food on a container and eat with my own cutlery), but the trip is after tomorrow and no answer yet.

The meal has to be grain-free and not processed, and I would appreciate suggestions on meals that don't need to be heated. I'm not talking about raw, just... Dishes that can be eaten cold without problems.

Or am I asking too much?

I don't have a microwave to take with me, btw.

I find cold roasted chicken and zucchini to be very tasty.

i ditto the cold chicken idea. what about carrot chips? or heck carrots that have been candied are reeeeeealllly good cold (same with apples).

I am personally a huge salad fan. I like chicken or eggs on my salad for traveling for that protein boost but really whatever floats your salad boat.

Oh yeah, fried/baked apples are super tasty cold. Can also do turkey if you're tired of chicken.

I'm taking raw apples already as a snack, but I definitely liked the carrot chips and roasted chicken idea. It has been a while since I had roasted chicken.

I like sweet potato cold. I just do it in the microwave, let it cool then peel it and put in in fork sized chunks. Goes great with chicken too.

Have a good trip

Tuna (plain, no mayo) and cheese sticks are also good. You can sometimes find tuna in individual serving cups that peel open. Individual cups of peanut butter or Jif's version of Nutella with some gluten-free crackers or pretzels are also a treat. Roll up lunchmeat and cheese together for a breadless sandwich, or use gluten-free bread or corn tortillas.

I can't have grains nor dairy...

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.
    • Aretaeus Cappadocia
      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
