I always have a snack bar or two in my backpack in the event of irrops or some other situation. When my Grandpa was still around, he would make us fresh turkey sandwiches on rye bread (and toss in a cookie..!) to take on our flights home after visiting. I don't typically bring real food these days, but sure enjoyed when I had a brown bag of homemade items back in the day.

Interesting meals on a plane
Sitting in the back most of the time, I'm always looking for "better" food to bring with me in case I get the munchies (the ham sandwiches I often see aren't great)... I'll often grab stuff like a sub or sausage and egg mcmuffin... Hamburgers dry very badly on TPAC flights... And with no easy way to reheat them... (want to try something but work has me grounded for now) so what are your gotos?
As a note... Not sure if this guy's meal was any good...

Of course that doesn't stop most people, and you can generally get away with it (assuming you carry the minis off the plane).

Snacks like granola bars, trail mix, dried fruits, or BBQ peanuts. I also prepare sandwiches or wraps such as a turkey and avocado wrap: spread mashed avocado on a whole-grain wrap, top with sliced turkey, lettuce, tomato, and a drizzle of honey mustard dressing; a tuna salad sandwich: mix canned tuna with Greek yogurt, diced celery, and red onion, spread on whole-grain bread and top with lettuce and tomato; and a chicken Caesar wrap: fill a whole-grain wrap with sliced grilled chicken, romaine lettuce, shredded Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing.

Last month I picked up an omelet and potatoes from a Priority Pass restaurant to bring on the plane. I then proceeded to eat it shortly before the flight 
and then was upgraded to F. But luckily I kept the plastic to-go container and had a lunchbox with an ice pack, so I took the frittata and potatoes from the F meal to have for lunch after the flight
