Cold Pizza in lunchbox?

[PizzaInLunchbox]

Odd or fine?

My 7yo is saying it’s her favourite (not warm or hot cold) and she wants it for lunch at school.

I’d obviously cook the pizza the night before let it cool right down. Would be just cheese and tomato as she doesn’t like any other kind of pizza.

WIBU to put a cold slice of pizza in her lunchbox instead of sandwiches? I’d also include a small biscuit (like a penguin), cucumber and/or carrot sticks, an apple or banana, and then some cocktail sausages or similar.

Just pondering for next week when shes back.

@thedancingbear Did you see the dragon's den pitch that actually was intravenous infusions for adults given in a drop in type place in malls? or you could have an infusion party in your own home. I joke not. Deb Meaden tore them a new one. www.dripboost.com

Bloody hell. I would hate a lot of PP to see what goes in DS lunchbox ... and can someone explain why an open toasted cheese and tomato sandwich on foccacia (ie generally full of salt) is healthier than pizza ..

I honestly couldn’t tell either, given some of the other comments on this thread

Obviously been on MN too long

@thedancingbear “hummuses” - thank you, I’ve had a rubbish day and you’ve just made me really smile with your post!

Come pizza is really common picnic food in Italy.

[Dntevenknowit]

Love some of the posts on here. Do you work as lunch time supervisor police?

[Honeyroar]

(Common as in happens a lot not as in something some mumsnetters would scorn!!)

[thisplaceisweird]

Why not? I don't see how a slice of pizza is any different to a cheese sandwich.

Subbing in a wholewheat hummus and vegetable wrap for pizza

Like pizza? Why not swap it out for sadness and dust.

[MrsColon]

Totally fine. Not every day because it's very salty, but once a week? No bother.

If you make it yourself and limit the salt then every day would be fine. It's a source of calcium and

Thank you @godmum56, the ones I give my children are more expensive and better than those. But it is good that there are options. I see they are doing an offer (I shit you not):

Drip Package: Book 6 Drips and get the 7th one absolutely FREE!

Which could be useful, for example, for those in council accommodation.

Only if you made it from scratch.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

At pizza is very nutritionally poor even with a couple of veg sticks thrown in...and then poster goes on to suggest a cheese fucking sandwich. Swap out the bread and cheese in circle form and swap it for the much more nutritious rectangular bread and cheese...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@thedancingbear

they put RedBull, vodka and melted mars bar in the council house ones

er hello????? ITS A JOKE

[Sleepyquest]

Whole wheat hummus and veg wraps sound revolting

[CorvusPurpureus]

One of mine once got told off because the leftover pizza in her lunchbox was margarita (because xh was making her lunch & he's a lazy tightarse who favours value supermarket pizza & can't be bothered to remember which toppings each dc likes).

It would have been fine, dd1 was informed, had it only had additional healthy toppings. Like peppers or olives perhaps...?

Dd1 showed the dinner lady her separate Sistema tubs of olives, pepper, carrot, baby tomatoes & cucumber, but apparently that doesn't count.

Make it make sense!

[Minfilia]

DD is 16 and she sometimes makes herself pizza or quesadillas to take to school for lunch the next day.

However she’s also been known to take a tin of cold peppa pig pasta with her and nothing else (apparently because it’s funny) so I’m not sure she’s best placed to advise on nutrition

[REP22]

Absolutely fine. No different from a slice of cold quiche, in my view. I can recall our school tuck shop selling cold slices of pizza at breaktime and them being really nice.

Importantly though - please can I have some?

[PizzaInLunchbox]

Thank you all for the laughs, @Pedalpushers sadness and dust comment had my crying laughing.

[Snoozer11]

I am so pleased I grew up with Turkey Twizzlers, a packet of Salt and Vinegar and a couple of Jammie Dodgers.

[CatJumperTwat]

Really? All you’ve doing there with that spinach purée is indoctrinating a child that they can’t enjoy whole foods with adding “something”. That is exactly why they end up having ketchup on everything and can’t enjoy a McFlurry without sauce on it. Your puréed spinach is a gateway drug.

I'm sorry, but what is a McFlurry? I'm too smug to know the names of any processed foods, but yours seems the kind of house where children will be aware they exist? I expect you also have salt in the cupboard? head tilt

[Kentuckycarby]

Pizza is an ocassional treat not a school lunch

Is it?

[Reptar]

This is hilarious. Bread, cheese and tomato is Schrodingers snack. Open the (lunch) box to find out if you got the good or the bad version!

I don't see how wholewheat bread, veg and chick peas are any different either.

@WellLarDeDar

I don't think there's anything wrong with it but would the teachers/school staff be iffy about it? Maybe switch the chocolate bar for a yogurt or cereal bar?

Why swap a chocolate bar such as a penguin for a cereal bar? What do you think makes a cereal bar any better?
