Not gonna lie I have considered doing this. But so far common sense has prevailed.
I have friends who do this with their kids packed lunches. They make a batch up and freeze them. Act as coolers too.

Jack ain't making sandwiches. Like two dinners a night. Nor the three recipes a week. I'm still shocked about a trifle being produced!

Why does she need people to tell her about sandwiches? Who needs sandwich guidance? They're the most intuitive of foods.

Idk, Jack, whack some leftover peach and chickpea curry between some soft soft white bread and call it coronation chicken, everything's interchangeable.

When I was searching for the trifle in a lamp yesterday I seen this and honestly it knocked me sick. So in case she needs a reminder:


firstly, the sandwiches would have most likely fallen apart in a child’s bag if that’s how loosely they were wrapped;
Secondly, imagine feeding that cooking bacon to your only child?
and finally, my favourite sandwich would be a £5,000 pound note sandwiched between two lightly buttered £2,500 notes.
To the wanker who said roast beef with English mustard and horseradish - what 9 year old wants that?!

I’m not lying to you lot. I totes do this. Mrs T gets up at some ridiculous hour and crumbs do my nut in. Reducing the number of times I have to clear up crumbs by 50% is a good thing in my book so I make both sandwiches the night before.

Ban me. I’ll try to reload Twitter and go rogue.

Think how many simple sandwiches you could make out of £10k.
39p for a smart price load of bread gives you approx 20 slices and 10 sandwiches
£3.65 for smart price cheese 825g
74p Asda sandwich pickle.
If only I had a big wooden calculator and time out of my 100 hour week to dick about and work this out. Would be more fun than name that sandwich

Glad(?) I didn't imagine the grated carrot and soft cheese shenanigans! I seem to recall variations popped up for quite some time.

Only someone infrequently making lunch boxes and/or with too much time on their hands would make something like that.

Keep it simple indeed....

This one ended me.
my Scottish sisters/fraus will appreciate this one. Tattie scones with banana, and another declaration from SB.

I'd go fucking wild too if I'd have found that in my lunchbox.

If she could just walk towards the car with a suitcase full of money for the Trussell Trust, I will walk towards her with a failsafe sandwich for a 9 year old and we'll swap.

All 9 year olds like exactly the same sandwich

Jack while you're reading here, take a look in Off Topic - there's a thread on sandwiches. Knock yourself out babes.

SB's completely genuine declarations kill me. That's something I'd eat when stoned and regret the next morning. My best friend did once make me what I still consider the most amazing sandwich ever when I lived with her post-break up for a while and I'm wondering now if I offended her by not immediately declaring I'd never leave.

I am a simple Frau mine is Nutella.

Also I am concerned if she howled like a banshee in the middle of the night wouldn't that have terrified her kid.
Hope he was ok when he realised his mum wasn't murdered!
Poor kid!
