Would you agree a ham and cheese sandwich is a healthy lunch?

Now these (see web link below) are upgraded sandwich options I particularly love!:

1.Chinese BBQ Pork Banh Mi,
2.Salmon Gravlax, Apple, and Crispy Kale Smorrebrod,
3.Softshell Crab Sandwich with Collard Slaw

  1. Fried Oyster Po'Boys with Kale and Tartar Sauce.

Obviously all in moderation and as a part of balanced diet! All beats so yesteryear organic avocado on rustic rye!

Bon appetite!

OP, upgrade your sandwich.
One slice of bread, topped with a slice of ham, then grated cheese and then a fried egg. Now THATS a cheese and ham sandwich that's probably about a thousand calories but oh so tasty.

Bet the OP is glad they asked!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 03/09/2020 23:08

BiffChip & don't forget the ketchup!

Does piccalilli count as one of your five a day ? ( well it has cauliflower in it doesn't it not ? ) Grin -goes very nicely with some cold ham.

AdaColeman · 04/09/2020 00:55

If piccalilli counts, then gherkins and pickled onions must count too!

Goatinthegarden · 04/09/2020 05:10

I just read all 11 pages and I’m not even particularly fond of sandwiches...

@etopp

According to MN, if Corona isn't going to kill us, then cheese is.

MN is a very odd place.

Except if it’s in the form of cubes, in which case you must feed your child this instead of fruit. Because fruit is just sugar and you’re killing your child....

My late mil made thee best piccalilli it was delicious she didn't share her recipe sadly.

MrsMayo · 04/09/2020 08:40

I used the figures for Sainsbury’s ham + cheese on malted bread.

I ried malted bread for the first time this week, just for a change.

It's bliddy LOVELY!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 04/09/2020 09:57

*tried, not ried

SchadenfreudePersonified · 04/09/2020 10:00

Take out the ham and replace it with marmite. Then take out the cheese and replace it with marmite. Then take out the bread and replace it with a spoon.

Damn you!

I did this and broke all my teeth chewing the spoon!

You will be getting my dentist's bill -and he's not cheap! Angry

Shouldn't there be some quinoa included? Or is that last year's food fad? (I'm not even sure what quinoa is.)

I'd love to know some MNetters opinions on my DCs packed lunches. I think some would have heart attacks at the bare thought...

CherryValanc · 04/09/2020 10:19

When I were a lass I used to treat myself to a ham and cheese sandwich from Mark's & Spencer's. Blummin' lovely it was.

The one I got also had pickle in it and mayo. Pure decadence. I would look forward to it all week.

Wonder if they still make them. Not thought about them in years!!

Before anyone panics it wasn't white bread, think it was malted brown.

thegcatsmother · 04/09/2020 10:34

I sent my dh off for the day with one beef and mustard brown roll, one ham and sliced cheese and chutney brown roll, two apples, a diktat and a flask of tea. He'd had porridge with cinnamon and blueberries for breakfast, and it's Delia's chilli with black beans and a home made salsa for dinner. He is out doing stuff on Dartmoor all day, so will be burning calories.

I am a crazy pregnant lady and the only things I am eating are sandwiches or paninis. If anyone tried to prise one from my paws, they would get a smack.

KatherineJaneway · 05/09/2020 06:07

a diktat

That's a new one on me Grin

Mumtumwobble · 05/09/2020 07:12

I give my kids a ham and cheese sandwich on brown with veg sticks on the side and consider that fine.

Ditto. Though vegetarian.

All I want is beige food.
