Does the phrase breaking out mean taking out and ate?
Having missed breakfast we turned eagerly to lunch,breaking out peanut butter sandwiches, apples, and cookies.
There are two phrases I don't understand clearly.
(1) Does the phrase breaking out mean taking out and ate?
(2) What does the phrase turned to lunch mean? Does it mean we ran to the cafeteria, we started our lunch time or we took out the lunch box? Could you help me clarify it? Thanks.
