To ask if those of us who enjoy a sandwich for lunch are a dying breed

Sometimes take ham sandwiches and buy a cone of chips from the chippy and put them on my sandwich. Lovely.

Honestly, everything and anything can cause offence on here.

I think it’s where the hypersensitive, crabby and paranoid hang out at times.

Do you mind posting a pic of your new lunchbox?

Look at all the sandwich shops! Do you honestly think they'd bother if they didn't make a profit? Greggs, Subway, M&S, Tesco, the list goes on!

Well, from what I’ve seen, the sandwich generation are a dying breed, yes, because you can’t work on that sort of fuel in later life.

If they’re not retiring early, they’re having those sarnies alongside blood pressure tablets etc…

Toast for breakfast. Sandwich for lunch. Maybe something with garlic bread at dinner.

Yeah, I find I'm in the minority eating a sandwich at work too, whilst others are warming stuff in the microwave. I've never liked hot food at lunch really, unless I'm having a lunch out!

😂

I take sandwiches to work. If I eat hot food at lunchtime it makes me feel really sleepy. I obviously associate hot food with the end of the day/bedtime (DH and I often end up eating after 9pm and I'm in bed not long after!)

I have a one slice of bread sandwich, either avocado or cheese & carrot.
I also have wanky homemade cheese and kale muffins.

I have a sandwich pretty much every day for lunch. I make them the night before and often eat them out and about with my toddler in a park. I wouldn't want the hassle of bringing back tupperware and a fork, I just wrap them in a sandwich bag and bin it. Generally I have chicken salad or any other meat with salad. I like Pret and M&S sandwiches but they're an occasional treat, we'll get them a few times a year at the station when going on a day trip or to take on a flight.

I love bread and love sandwiches even more. Unfortunately since turning 50, my type 2 diabetes doesn't share that love, and I've had to cut out all processed/starchy carbs. So I'm a fork jabber, usually into a protein/salad/veg combo. My current fave is making a feta and red onion tortilla, with a green salad and homemade coleslaw.

I usually make tuna mayo & cucumber sandwiches for lunch on work days but I use wholemeal thins rather than bread- not as heavy but very tasty. Probably too many UPFs but I'm lucky if I get to eat undisturbed so it has to be something quick. Had an M&S supergreen salad the other day as a treat which was lovely & I wasn't hungry until dinner.
Also sometimes have jam or lemon cheese in thins but DH says that's just 'cos I'm from Yorkshire!

Not me. Still love a sarnie, especially with a few crisps in.

Yes,essentially they are but they're boiled briefly then baked which does something to the gluten in the flour and makes them chewy.

Are bagels not bread? They sound good though

I love squished down sandwiches and a packet of crisps still, sometimes I even put crisps in my sandwich

I rarely eat bread these days and it’s helped me to lose weight. I have, on the other hand, been eating protein bagels for brekky, lunch and tea.

Today I wanted bread and bought a seeded baton. I had half for lunch with tuna and half for tea with chicken. Lovely!

I often take a sandwich for work

salad doesn’t fill me up enough and I will snack more in the afternoon

I have a sandwich most days for lunch. Quick and easy and no thought needed.

I’m mostly disorganised plus have a teenage son who eats anything not locked away, especially if it’s a Tupperware of leftovers. I tend to only have around 10 minutes to eat so I grab anything that is edible to stuff in my work bag. Pitta bread and hummus, banana/pear, cereal bar, bread to toast. My Friday lunch crumpets were mouldy, which I discovered as I was about to out them in the toaster. I had to make do with an emergency cuppa soup, bruised banana and a square of dark chocolate donate by a colleague! Most of my colleagues have a re-heated hot meal or salad

I still love a sandwich. Not a shop bought one though. Prefer to make it myself, on good quality bread. When I’m dieting (which, currently let’s just say I definitely am NOT) I never eat them, but I do love them.

Most of us are now more aware of sugar spikes, what causes these, and how they affect our health. Sandwiches really isn't a good lunch option, and it will usually only lead to you being hungry and picking in the pm. People tend to look for more protein based lunches now

I just freeze the whole loaf and take out what I need per slice. If I make a sandwich for work, I just use the bread frozen then wrap in a sheet of kitchen roll and put in a Tupperware box. Stays really fresh.
