box lunch
Portable contained food
A box lunch is a meal packed in a cardboard box or similar container, typically for eating away from home.
Box lunches are commonly provided at conferences, field trips, or catered events where individual servings need to be portable and easy to distribute.
They usually contain a sandwich, chips, fruit, and a cookie or similar items.
The conference provided box lunches so attendees could eat during the afternoon session.
