Has anyone got any original ideas for sandwich filing? Only ones that are practical, affordable and that the kids would like (i.e. excluding the dreaded 'salad' in Jamies' case )

Also anythng 'different' to put in the lunch boxes would be good...

Cheers

My kids (big kids) like tuna mashed up with mayonaise, we get tuna mayonaise here (salsa tonnata) & it is wonderful. It would be easy to disguise some shredded lettuce or chopped cucumber in it. Lunch boxes arrgh egg & breaded crumbed chicken perhaps cut into thin sticks or homemade meatballs egg & b.crumbed. Cheese biscuits (cheese straws made with sr flour & cut into small squares) sorry not much help

I feel for you Pens...inventing sandwich fillings for school lunches. I used to find my kids would eat cucumber, but not the rest of salad ingredients.....by the way they all love salad now, and chose it over anything else. I used to make this funny combination of vegemite, cheese, and cucumber. In your case i suppose it would be marmite. But each child is different and some harder to feed than others, as i'm sure you know. Good luck Pens...i'll be thinking of you, poor you.

I like the sound of that Pip, I live on sandwich spread, but I never close the bread just eat it open, so my cheese might slide off.

James likes ham with cucumber or tomato, cheese with brown sauce. I like cheese with beetroot, and lemon curd with cottage cheese - delish!

If you have a Julian Graves shop near you then they do 4 little snack bags for a £1, which are yoghurt coated raisins, cranberries, etc - James loves those in his packup. Or a pot of carrot sticks.
