Brown Bag Lunch

I'm not particularly looking for a literal translation for this term, but rather for a translation suitable to the context. But if no such translation is available, then please let me know what you think is the closest match :).


CONTEXT: this is the name of a corporate activity, practiced by a group of company members, in order to establish and maintain good communication with each other.

Discussion

MElHelw Sep 10, 2006:
One should think: casual home made lunch eaten together away from home (and perhaps office) so people maintain inter-communication; and not go for translation of brown bag.
Zeinab Asfour Sep 10, 2006:
I think it's called : a lunch bag!

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you, Ehab :). I think yours was the most suitable translation for my purposes, even though I ended up using a variant of the proposed term to suit the context and the spirit of the document I'm working on. I also want to thank Noha and Zeinab for providing me with great alternatives. I suppose I ended up mixing and matching all of the proposed terms :)."
