packed meals
Explanation:
Cestini refer to packed lunches provided to movie crew and walk on actors...also could be referred to as lunch boxes however if the film is beign shot in the evening it would be a dinner box....so unless you are sure it may be better to keep it neutral and just call it packed meals.
