Hi
I'm a very new newbie, but needing some advice regarding what to eat at work!
I work in an Italian-ish restaurant, and although we have an unpaid break, we are given food from a choice off the menu. Now I know I could just eat salad, but if I'm working a nine hour shift this just won't cut the mustard.
The problem is that EVERYTHING is smothered in oil at some point. When the pasta is prepped for the day, it is given a drizzle of oil to stop it sticking. The baked potatoes are brushed with oil before being put in the oven. (They are also bought in from Brakes, so I don't know how they've been prepared prior to arriving already frozen).
I've been wondering about the lasange, because we make it from scratch - though the white sauce is bought in and made up with semi-skimmed milk.
I could always bring in from home, but as a student, I can't say no to a free meal! Any tips or advice would be much appreciated.
