Since I work night shift (12 hours) I usually don't eat lunch. When I do think I'm going to get hungry, I usually take something like tuna salad and crackers or sometimes beans and rice (I've been on a huge bean kick for the last couple of months because my belly has not been happy with most other protein).
I have seen some intersting bag lunches though.
There's a girl I work with who brings raw, sliced green, red, and yellow peppers. Nothiing on them, just plain. It's a hug bag.
Some of the others bring fruit plates, those campbells microwave soup things, antipasto (sp?) salads, HUGE garden salads (big tupperware bowls of it!) During the summer one lady kept bringing in veggies from her garden including onions (smelly!) and made a salad while she sat at her desk. One time this other lady brought in a tomato, some bread an electric griddle and raw bacon! She made herself BLT's! It was crazy! Of course we had a BLT night not long after that little stunt!

By the way, I like that avocado idea. I might have to try that.
