Food parcel or hot meal?

A hot meal covers one meal and is eaten straight away.

A food parcel, on the other hand, goes into the family's kitchen and is used over a long period.

In emergencies a hot meal is more suitable, and where continuity is needed a food parcel; you can also combine both in the same basket.
