OF bloody takeing sandwiches to work day after day for bloody years, and starting to

get sick of it!!!!!!!. Went to the fridge just now to look what was there for

tomorrow's sarnies and thought ' Oh f*ck it'. I sometimes go to the chippy but dont want to do that everyday LOL.

Do you lot have any suggestions to what i can rustle up and take to work.

And what do you take to work for lunch, let me know so i can have ideas.

I go through this every week too, somebody at work said it was "so 80's taking your lunch to work" but i reckon it saves about £15 a week.
Try something like corn or flour wraps like u would have with fajitas. Soup in a flask ifs its **** weather. But yeah, its a hard one unless u buy a portable camping stove

Smoked peppered mackerel with mixed leaf salad, sweetcorn, avocado and new potatoes.

Roll mops (raw pickled herring) with salad.

Rotisserie chicken from supermarket.

Sardines in tomato, oil or brine with salad.

Last nights curry, chilli, bolognaise etc reheated in the micro.

BK, F&C, pizza, KFC etc etc

Frapaccino with a chocolate muffin or blueberry swirl cheesecake (Starbucks).

Tam the bam

Reminds me of this old joke..

There was a Scotsman an Englishman and an Irishman all sitting on a tea break on a building site, the Englishman pipe's 'up if my wife put's Cheese on my sandwich's again I am going to kill myself' the Scotsman says 'if my wife puts Egg on my sandwich's again I will kill myself too'
The Irishman says 'if I find Gammon on my sandwich's again I will kill myself'

So sure enough the next day all three open up there lunch boxes and find the sandwich's are all full of Cheese ,Egg and Gammon once again so they all go off to different part's of the site and kill themselves, later in the week all three men are being buried and the Englishman's wife says 'if he didn't want cheese on his sandwich's he should have told me and this wouldn't have happened' the Scotsman's wife comes away with the same statement concerning the Egg sandwich's then the Irishman's wife pipe's up 'I can't understand this, Paddy always made his own sandwiches'.

Mr. Impreza, one of my work colleagues brings tuna salad every day for lunch! I get bored of just looking at his food! But he is physically very fit. He's into healthy foods, so eating tuna salad every day for lunch doesn't become monotonous to him. He says that he does vary his dinners.

I must say I like variety. I change my lunches. Sometimes houmous in grilled wholemeal pitta bread with some salad, sometimes couscous made in different ways, sometimes chopped bacon in salad, roast chicken wings, prawn or salmon salad etc.- finishing off with some fruit. I know some people who eat out at lunch all the time. They eat Subway butties, MaccyD burgers, chips, huge baps from some local bakery etc. Not healthy IMO.

Try taking some grilled meat with salad. Change the meat at times from chicken to beef, from beef to fish or pork sometimes.
Take fruit or yogurt to finish off your lunch

An old workmate of mine used to have cheddar cheese in Jacob's crackers, a Kit-Kat and a cup of coffee for lunch every single day! You can imagine how we larfed!

MMMMM its a tough one that,i mean sarnies are just sarnies.why dont you try taking some pasties to work or something.Ginsters are pritty good,and curry pasties,OHHHH yessss.as long as you dont kill yourself like the irish guy.

Gilesdwrc

Vary the bread, wholemeal, tiger bread, white, brown, french stick, soda bread, pita bread, pannini, ect, ect. Try pasta salads, potato salads, ect, ect. check the deli counter in your local farmer oppression unit (supermarket) for different meats, cheeses, sausages, german salami, dutch salami, applewood cheddar, ect, ect.

I make the wifes and my own sandwiches ever day and try to do somthin different every day.

If you said that in cornwall you would be six foot under by now.

Oggy oggy, wc rowe, malcom barnecutt or berrymans are the ones to have.

Im sure asda sell frozen wc rowe pasties.

I do have chicken pasta every day but seeing im in the gym quite a bit keeping the carbs up with a dash of protein is vital.

That and special k or frosties for brekkie, i do like museli though shame it has to be the £5 southern alps fig muesli, it is lush though.

I've got an egg salad and some sarnies for tomorrow.

Usually have something as well as my sarnies to keep it interesting. Makes you look forward to dinner time!

Meal 6; 200g cottage cheese, 2 tbsp's flax seed oil


Now I just eat what I want but still enjoy training, and don't look too bad.....

EddScott

I'll take all sorts. CBA to make sarnies.

Pasta, salads, pasties, scotch eggs, sushi - anything interesting.

I hate buying from the local sarnie shop as they are expensive and not really that nice. There prices seem to go up in line with petrol as they have an X5 to run.

Lidil up the road you can get a premade sandwich, a bottle of juice and a fruit box for £1.80. I know people take the **** for using Lidil or Aldi but some of the stuff isn't bad.

Have you got a microwave? I get different frozen ready meals from Iceland, just ping em up and vwalla

I have the same sandwiches every day, made for me by my fabulous husband. The secret's in the bread - Sainsbury's in store bakery Taste the Difference multiseed. It's fantastic bread, lovely and moist... Yummy!! Always have cheese, tomato and basil, though sometimes he puts in a little bit of mayonnaise

jjones

i bet

Clarebabes

That's why I love him LOL

@ Tam. Cheers for the siggestions everyone, great will try them out deffo. And good news too, my boss is so fed up with me whinging about sarnies and booting my sarnie box around he is going to invest in one of those george formans grill, but bet things take ages to cook in one of those. And another thing it may be just me, but when i eat in the canteen and i look around i see that other peoples sarnies looks absolutely gorgeouse even though we have the same things on

Will

i love walkers cheese and onion crisps, and the joke is that i am not keen on cheese and HATE onion. when i first got bored of sarnies i used to open the sarnie with ham or what ever and put some cheese and onion crisps in.

Will

robby

I used to take a packet of crisps everyday to work but then i was reading in a health/fitness magazine about them being one of the worst snacks to have on a daily basis. Yeah i know u could say that about many things but i replaced it with an Apple or Pear and feel better for it (in my head at least )
