How To Be Butty Brilliant!

How to create the perfect school lunchbox

The sandwich was born and ‘bread’ in Britain, and our love of sarnies is famous the world over. Concerns about cash in recent times have prompted a swing away from buying pricey shop-bought sandwiches and back to making our own.

More and more people are packing their own lunches and eating them ‘al desco’ at work, and in doing so they’re inadvertently rediscovering the joys of the classic British sarnie. And, if it needed to be said, schoolkids love them too.

Cheese and pickle and the BLT are the UK’s joint favourite sarnies according to the research by I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. Traditional English fillings have clearly not gone out of style, despite the abundance of exotic flavours seen in chains throughout the country, as ham and cheese and egg and cress came third and fourth respectively.

But what about those among us who need to create the perfect school lunchbox on the go? This video podcast will give busy mums ideas on how to provide suitable school sarnies, from a nutritional and simplicity point of view. We’ll be sharing tips about how to make sure the kids polish off all your handiwork and don’t spend the rest of the afternoon hungry and snacking when they get home before dinnertime.
