Mr. A. - Lunch in the canteen

One of the problems I face is at work, it’s normal in Denmark to have a canteen at the workplace for lunch, and our canteen gets food from an external company.

Here is an example of one of the not so good days:

• Slices of pork fillet served with potatoes tossed in butter and herbs this cheese cream with flavors of orange and thyme
• Finely sliced ​​cabbage tossed with white wine vinegar, cinnamon, raisins, baked hazelnuts and lemon topped with lemon balm.
• Selection of cheeses with honey glazed nuts.
• Bread with love
• APPLICATION: Asian inspired chicken salad, Hunter Sausage with chornichons and parsley Roasted beef with remo and roasted onions 
• ADDITIONAL: Italian salami with cherry tomato and rucola Boiled Beef with Horseradish Cream Chest

Even though they make it sound good most of this have added something to make it a no go.

• Pork is fine, unfortunately it is especially really fatty pork - No go
• Potatoes are fine, unfortunately they soak them in butter and cream cheese – No go
• Cabbage salad would have been great, if only they had the white wine vinegar on the side instead of premixed. – Depending on how much vinegar - Go/No go
• Selections of cheeses. - No go
• Bread with Love, The rye bread is fine – Go, the white bread - No go.
• All the applications are pretty much a - No go (the Asian inspired salad had loads of dressing in it).
• The only thing there that was acceptable is the roasted beef but only if you opted to take it without the remo and the fried onions. - Go

So what is a starving employee to do if he wants to live healthy, well either you

A: Pick and choose, luckily we do have separated raw veggies and usually there are some stuff that is not on the menu and with the added rye bread and a piece of fruit you can get a decent, but very uninspired meal.
Or
B: The second option is to bring food from home

For now I am sticking with A, but with the food so often being unhealthy I have thought about changing it to make food myself, the problem is it would end up costing more, and might end up being just as limited / uninspiring as what the canteen offers, also the time it takes to prepare in the morning etc. is time I rather be sleeping :-)

If anyone have any experiences with making food from home bringing it to work I would love to hear your thoughts.
