For a gathering or meeting without registration fee, it would fortunate if the organizers serve food for lunch even if it's only just half day activity. Usually, it's only snacks in between. The organizers of the forum I was recently attended gave us participants the two. We're glad because we finished past 12 noon. What's in the box of the packed lunch? First, I appreciate that they're no longer use the styrofoam instead a waxed cardboard box has replaced. Inside the box includes a cup of rice, a slice of grilled fish, ox tongue, carbonara pasta, and a small slice maja blanca dessert. It was paired with coke. That's better from the lunch served during the previous orientation consisting a cup of rice and a piece of fried chicken and softdrinks for $6 fee although that includes the cost of the venue. I don't like ox tongue dish so I didn't eat it. I also returned the bottle of coke since my stomach has started to have pain. I hurried to get home. The pain was not that severe though a real discomfort. Pain was relieved with the help of the medicine.

I don´t like any tongue food. Do you have an ulcer? Cook or soda drink will make your stomach severe.

@ZedSmart I see. Have you tried Maalox? My hubby is taking that as he has also hyperacidity.

@thelme55 Maalox doesn't work well for me. I use KremilS. Doc's also prescribed Omeprazole.

I wouldn’t eat the ox tongue either. Ewwww! So sorry about your stomach pain. I just read what you told Thelma, and hope your medication helps. Quite often I received decent boxed lunches and snacks, but none contained Chard.

Ha ha. Yes, sometimes we do not get what we wanted and it's the other way. I hope Chard's maker can hear us and give complimentary bottles next time. Heck! But I guess Chard's other component is very special and always comes in free.
