Advantages: Healthy option

Disadvantages: Get into a rut

My memories of packed lunches when I was at school are pretty dire, soggy limp ham or smelly egg mayonaise were two of the worst options, when times were hard it was jam sandwiches which I did not mind but they were hardly a healthy option.

These days because of the ever rising cost of buying a sandwich while at work from the local shops I have gone back to making a packed lunch again although hese days I can be a lot more inventive than my dear old mother.

One of my favourite things is to make a pasta salad for an evening meal and then to use some of that the next day for my lunch, in the morning I will either grate some cheese over it or add some milano salami to give it some more flavour and this is a lovely light lunch.

I will occasionally make a sandwich and I love to buy ciabatta bread and add a tuna mayo mixture with some red onion finely chopped up with cucumber addeded as well. The other sandwich I make is to use some chicken breast and add some salsa sauce with some salad to it which is a nice tangy sandwich.

At least these days you ca have some variety without having to break the bank, long may the soggy ham sandwich rest in peace.

Summary: Couple of options
