This term, meal pal, refers to office workers who lunch together during work days. Many white-collar workers are seeking lunch pals via the Internet to share high prices as well as the delicious dishes in nearby restaurants.

　　饭友(meal pal)指上班的时候一起吃午饭的公司职员。现在，很多白领都通过互联网寻找饭友，这样不但可以分担高额的午餐消费，而且还可以共享公司周边的美食。

　　For example:

　　That Thailand restaurant is great, it's my meal pals' favorite.

　　那家泰国餐馆很棒，是我那些饭友们最喜欢的一家餐馆。

　　上个世纪特别流行的一种交友方式“笔友”在英文里是pen pal，这里的meal pal估计就是由此类推出来的吧。
