Peel/core can always be put in a napkin and then tossed into the garbage. Although if you do it before hand, you can bring a container (handy). I just need fresh fruits.... stuff like dried mango or apple I find often very sweet. I might try a ceasar salad one of these days and just hope I can convince the security that the mixed in dressing should not be considered a liquid.

Nice thing about ORD is that my average domestic flight time is about 2.5 hours and pretty much never more than 4.
I've grabbed a sub/wrap/burger more times than I can count but, the burgers and wraps often end up cold and hard by the time I try to eat it. Subs generally end up soggy (I've been asking for no sauce and it still happens)
I'm tempted to try the meat chunks idea. Sauce might be an issue, but it's worth a shot if I can find something in a less than 100ml amount.
