A few months ago, I was fascinated by an Indian lunch box featured on an episode of Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares. It was a stainless steel set of stacking tins with a handle. Basically, the lunch-bag equivalent of “I am not a plastic bag.”

I didn’t think they’d be easy to find here in Texas, but oh how wrong I was. I found this one for $9.99 at World Market (seen here on my super-messy desk).

I’m using mine to carry my lunch, but these would also be a great way to carry a fancy picnic to your local park.
