non-disposable lunch containers

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i am looking for non-disposable (read: reusable) food containers to replace my cheap plastic reusable containers that i suspect of giving me cancers of the everything

preferably date-rape-drug free (i.e. not made in china), aesthetically pleasing, not too bulky, and not cost-prohibitive

Get a custom made laquered wood one?

I forgot what brand it was, but Australian schoolkids usually have good plastic boxes that are shaped to fit sandwiches and Western foods, I had a good one growing up. Bentos are nice but usually fail in the sandwich containment category.

My dad still takes a lunch to work so I gave him some old Martin Margiela shopping bags to replace the paper sacks.

i'm also interested in this.

i have a plastic lunch box that i got from chinatown. one time after eating some microwaved leftovers in the lunch box, i awoke in a strange place, not remembering how i got there. and i had hickies.

I find it too much of a hassle to wash

probably the same kind of plastic found in chinese toys that metabolize into GHB

I have a "brown paper bag" made out of leather.

The shit is actually really fly, but I've never used it.

Sell or trade?

Perhaps you can post in evolution of leather goods thread with it?

I just use this stuff. It resists tomato-based stains and the lids are nice and tight.

I find it too much of a hassle to wash

picked up a couple mr. bentos (for the wife and i)

first day with it today

it is fun albeit rather big

i used it to keep my leftovers cold without refrigeration

haven't yet used it to keep hot things hot

and a little dismayed that the containers are plastic

but i have gotten over my fear

the thing looks like a fucking explosive device

which is good

i like the idea that should my commuter train be immobilized in a tunnel

i could survive with the food i have packed in my mr bento

and my water bottle (that i don't yet have)

i strive to have everything i need to survive on my person at any given moment

think: white noise (delillo)

or the road (cormac mccarthy)

or some kinda survivorman beyond thunderdome deliciousness
