I usually did a ham and cheddar sandwich with a little bit of mustard, small sandwich bag of chips or nuts or pretzels or something crunchy like, a stone fruit, maybe like 4 clementines, maybe a couple cookies if I had them in the house at the time

Did they really just sit on construction beams like that in the '30s?

>>18393432
Yupp, this is obviously a photo op but it was common for them to sit on the beams and ride them up as an elevator
More often then not the beams where the only structure actually standing, so that is all you hade to stand and work on

>>18393408
Yeah I guess half is too bourgeoisie. Small piece of the yolk would do

>>18393027
Just what u need when your on a steel beam 60 stories up, an empty handle of whiskey

>>18393437
this makes me feel a bit of shame of the current times. safer is better, but we'll never get our balls back

I usually eat yesterday's dinner at 9:00 and two slices of homemade bread at 13:00. I usually have access to microwave or can plan ahead with something fine to be eaten cold. Five years of sheet metal work

>>18393064
If you keep doing the same things over and over again and you're miserable, consider doing different things. At worst you'll still be miserable.

Thats a Mickey not a handle. A handle has a fucking handle on it and is usually refered to as such when the size above 1.14 litres

>>18393468
A handle is colloquially used to mean an entire bottle

Couple of hard boiled eggs, string cheese lots of water in the summer, winter time a nice ham and cheese sandwich some chips and a coffee.

>>18393535
How about I handle your balls faggot?

Ever make the mistake of eating to much at lunch then put your toolbelt on and feeling sick when you bend over (roofers) It has happened to me

Lately i've been packing
>water
>camel smokes
>tortilla wrap with mayo, tabasco, romaine lettuce, swiss cheese, turkey, bacon, romaine lettuce
In that order. But ham sandwiches are pretty much never off the menu. Got to finish laying a floor today, it's easy but man I am fucking tired.

Spam musubi, a bag of chips, some fruit , and a bottle of water or tea for me.

>>18393535
I've only ever seen it used in reference to a specific size of bottle

>>18393567
Bitch please you couldn't handle my balls even if you tried

>>18393027
This photo was actually staged. They wouldn't normally crowd an I-beam suspended in the air like that. Also, it's not even over the edge of the building. If anyone fell off they might drop about 8 ft onto the finished floor below them. It looks cool but it's forced perspective and an unnatural gathering.

>fruit (typically either one apple or two clementines)
>Doritos or Lays from the shitty Avenue C thing as a snack
>water (1 liter bottle refilled regularly)
>Siberia snus

>>18394229
Preposterous. Real Irishmen always eat like that. Dublin is literally covered in i-beam lunch restaurants. Even MacDonalds and Hooters had to adjust.

>>18393027
Lots of carbs and fatty meats/cheeses especially in winter. Pressed pig head with mustard, Camembert with cornichons or pickled onions, that sort of stuff.

>>18393027
I work in construction and here you usually go to a restaurant. This friday i had beef cheeks

that's not true. the bigger the company the stricter the rules are. you lose time and money if your workers get injured. replacing competent and reliable worker isn't always easy, much less so than enforcing safe work environments

>>18393027
The best thing you can pack is a frozen water bottle on top of your sandwich and side, and have it stay ice cold. Flatout wraps, spinach tortillas, and Joseph flatbread makes easy wrapping in the morning. Schmear the wrap with flavored creamcheese, park a couple slices of smoked turkey deli meat on top, and hit it with some bagged veggies like arugula, bell pepper strips, cucumber, tomatoes, carrot shreds, or bagged cole slaw mix. Drizzle with some makoto dressing for the veggies.
Alternately, I'd pack a marinated salad each and every day, fruit salad like mostly watermelon.or veggies like mostly cucumber/tomatoes, or a nice pasta salad, premade store hummus and taboulleh salad with pita chips. Good potato salad can be a meal if you make it chock ful of bacon and hard boiled eggs. A tupperware container of salad you eat with a fork means you don't need to use your fingers on a sandwich, nor need to wash your hands well in some guy''s yard .This is the most refreshing thing you can do, and adds hydration too. I love a cold and soggy italian sub, think Publix not that spongey horrible bread of Subway. A simple apple on the side, or chips like Sun Chips.

>>18394989
if they fall off the tower they aren't competent and reliable, are they?

fucking ideal

If I’m working out regularly I usually cook extra of what I’m making for dinner the night before and take that for lunch. I sit in a crane all day so I try not to eat unless I’m really hungry, being fat terrifies me

>>18393027
>Your ideal brown bag for construction/roofing/landscaping/general labour/etc.
Depends on what I'm doing, during hot days mostly P&B sandwich when I'm operating machinery if not operating machinery and we have a break to eat I bring some white rice and chicken/meat/fish and some fruit, during cold days whatever soup I can make being tortilla soup my favorite.

>>18393437

For roofing, when i was shit poor, It'd be black coffee, a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, and 3 cans of tuna. I'd scarf down a pbnj for breakfast, usually my boss would get the boys some doughnuts, redbull, gatorade. I'd damn near finish that loaf of bread by 6pm. I didn't even have a canopener for my tuna, i was a real caveman son of a bitch scraping on curbs. Cigarettes helped stay focused and curb hunger before lunch too. For demolition, I ate just about anything I could. I thought torch-on roofing was hot, but when you get a breezyshirt, a good sunhat, water to splash yourself, its fine. But demo'ing skyscrapers with the a/c off, dust everywhere, hauling bins of tin, shit was nasty. Especially carving out marble n cement, getting dust in the gums. By then I had some walking around money and could afford fast food without it denting my finances. Mornings were now two sausage n egg mcmuffins, a large coffee, couple hashbrowns, lunch was a bigmac with large fries, 2 m chickens on the side, and dinner was a hearty helping of homemade Peruvian food made by my ex at the time. Times were tough, times still are, but I'll never forget how strong i felt, i could jump out of bed at 4am no problem, crash hard buy 9pm, sleep like a rock. Now i get a stiff back sleeping in a queen bed, compared to years spent on the ground. Take care of your bodies boys.
tl;dr anything i could get my damn hands on. Learned fast that i wasn't a picky eater, just not hungry enough.

>>18394229
Want to know how I know you came from re**idt?

Just a credit card to purchase lunch at a nearby restaurant.

They most likely aren't "vaccinated", anon. Their hearts were fine.

>brown bag

No. Instead, one should learn which nearby restaurants have decent lunch specials and develop a M-F rotation so every Monday you go here, then Tuesday it's, then Wednesday etc. Do this until it's time to quit without putting in a 2 weeks notice.

Vegetable beef stew, because it is infinitely modifiable. You can add green beans/mushrooms/potato or not. You can have it over rice, egg noodles, or Mashed potatoes. You can give it a tomato base or a french onion one. It freezes and reheats like a dream and is nutritionally well rounded with both protein and vitamins. Can be made in a giant crock pot with just prep time and makes enough for the whole week. Literal God tier work lunch.

My dad fell three stories from one of these bad boys and shattered his pelvis.

He always took a ham and cheddar, thermos of coffee, Banana, orange, apple and 2 hostess honeybuns. He was built like a bulldozer. Went back after a year when his pelvis was put back together and worked until retirement.

He'd tell me stories of how the Mexicans would share their lunch with him. Empanadas, pie, burritos. They were close and sometimes he'd bring me back something if he could.

Love my dad.

>>18399403
putting greens on a sandwich is incredibly normal, to the point where literally any sandwich shop in the united states (where i live) does it at least sometimes. i'm not bullying you, i just genuinely don't get how this is a novel concept for you.

>i'm not white that sounds like something white parents would do to their children
i am again baffled by your lack of awareness, this is not endemic to wypipo, who are probably more likely to only put lettuce on a sandwich

>>18394979
God damn I wish I could eat huge amounts of food like that.

>>18393027
What I just cooked. I also added a dash or two of full cream milk to the taters, as well as fresh garlic, then fried it all together.

Yeah my wife would just pick off the stems and put the baby spinach leaves on it as if it were lettuce. The texture is a little different of course but the flavor is superior in my opinion. It hadn’t really occurred to me either to do that but I very rarely ate any deli meat sandwiches before that job. Or since that job, come to think of it.

I did this when I was seventeen. I ate huge bologna sandwiches (got it from boy meets world reruns) and a box of oatmeal creme pies. substitute diet coke w/ Sobe oolong tea or mr green and a ton of lost energy drink and you have me circa 2002

>>18399356
that's a hell of a view anon

anyway i work evening shift driving a forklift, most days i'm like >>18395384 so i bring leftovers. sometimes i'll meal prep for the week, but it varies. i'm sitting down all day so i don't need to eat a whole lot, and i don't have caffeine after noon. i see people at work having a coffee or a monster at 7pm, how tf do they go to sleep? you're clocking off in 3 hours, c'mon

Baby spinach with tomato and tuna is an excellent combo.

it has been covered here already for the most part.
I'm really poor so cant afford turkey and stuff like that.
I'll usually just make a batch egg salad (hard boiled eggs, mayo, salt, pepper) then put the sandwich together the night before.
Then switch it up with Tuna instead of eggs.
A banana.
Sometimes ill put a bunch of cheap bag cereal in a ziplock bag to munch on after my meal.

is that a fun job? do the hours go by fast? do the ground crew think you're a pansie like an air cadet?

When I was working twelve hour night shifts at the post office I would always get a breakfast burrito and a whole carton of raspberries from the Whole Foods next door.

A boxed lunch is alright, but if you have the money, hot food is always a lot better if you're doing manual labor. Especially if it's cold

nigger the only people who use weird greens like spinach or micro green sprouts on shit is wypipo. you go into a mexican or italian restaurant and literally the only thing they use is romaine. you go into a negroid food hut and they don't even know what a vegetable is, unless you're in the south in which case they'll have the parts of plants you're not supposed to eat boiled in stock until you can choke them down.
