Bite to eat
A quick meal is food that can be prepared and eaten in a short time, typically under thirty minutes.
The term emphasizes convenience over elaboration: I just need a quick meal before my flight.
Quick meals range from sandwiches and reheated leftovers to fast food and simple one-pot dishes.
