I find it really odd that salmon and eggs on toast, or avocado toast count as “dry lunch”. Even his ham sandwich has a slather of butter and tomatoes. Just how wet are Chinese lunches? Is everything less liquid than a soup counted as dry?
I think that this is the definition of dry that means boring.
adjective
lacking interest or stimulation; dull and lifeless
“a dry book”
“a dry lecture filled with trivial details”
I heard avocado toast was such a luxury it was the downfall of entire generations
in Asian countries it still isn’t smart to drink the water so cooking in water to make a soup base is very common.
In England they got around this by drinking all the tea and/or beer so they could enjoy their dry lunch without getting cholera.
I misread the first sentence and wondered how a prisoner recorded his lunch every day. Pensioner makes much more sense.
We don’t even have a photo of this dry sandwich? My curiosity demands it

What isn’t considered a dry lunch? Soup? The sandwiches certainly weren’t dripping, but they weren’t dry, either.
Maybe it’s an ambiguous translation and they mean more like boring or plain?
Shit, they shoulda seen me when I was around 10 and my favorite sandwich was just mustard and cheese. Sometimes without the bread!
