EN: tiered lunch box
The OG lunch box, the multi-tiered, stainless steel baunan of your lolo or your dad. It’s the Pinoy version of a bento box. Each layer is a surprise: one for rice, one for adobo, and maybe one for a paksiw. It’s a symbol of a lovingly packed meal from home, way before Tupperware became a thing.
From Spanish "fiambrera" (lunch box), from "fiambre" (cold cuts).
Specifically refers to the stacked, often cylindrical metal food containers.
