Greasy burgers and chips dominate fast food- but for those of us feeling the need for some nutrients, they really don't satisfy. Some fast food outlets offer healthy choices, but a limp salad covered in gluggy salad dressing isn't too appealing either.
The popularity of chains such as
Subway,
Sumo Salad and
Healthy Habits means that now there are plenty of nutritious options in our food courts and shopping strips. Tasty as these may be, anyone who has tried to negotiate an overflowing sub will know that they can be difficult to eat without having lettuce spill out the sides.

I think one of the greatest healthy foods which can be easily purchased from any food court is the
sushi hand roll. Contained in a tube of seaweed, it is unlikely that the filling will escape into your lap. Their bite-sized width makes them so much easier to eat than a sandwich, and the range of fillings at even the smallest sushi stall means there are options for meat-eaters, vegetarians and seafood lovers. Most stalls seem to have crispy chicken rolls- great if you want something fried, but don't want to get an entire quarter chicken from the greasy stall next door.
