Ideas for lunchbox-must be spanish!

[coldtea]

Ds is having a pretend day to Spain & we've been asked to put spanish food in their lunchboxes.

Any suggestions?

sangria?

tortilla!

a seville orange

pml at sangria!

How about things that look like tapas?

Chorizo?
ha ha at sangria!

jamon serrano
manchego cheese
olives

is this the sort of thing you're after?

tortilla as already suggested would be my top tip.

ps - people in spain eat sandwiches - just call them "bocadillos" and pack as normal

yes, make a tortilla bocadillo

manchego is yum, with membrillo (quince cheese)

caracoles,delicioso!!
seriously,all those are what i would suggest,my children love chorizo sandwiches in their lunch box even though other children look at them and go ""oooh yuck" it's yummy

I've got until the 7th, i think i may need to try him with these 1st! I love chorizo but am pretty sure ds won't.

I'm not very good at cooking omlettes . Can i buy any of this pre-packed?

how about pinchos morunos (sp?) - little pork kebab things

caracoles! teehee! thought i might suggest pulpo!

jamon, manchego, olives, chorizo - just get from a deli.

have to say pre packed tortilla doesn't sound that nice.

take fish and chips and when they ask tell him to say he's in benidorm
coldtea would he eat a rice salad?you could cook the rice in either saffron or turmeric,add some peas,chicken,etc to look like paella.

how about patatas bravas (chunks of potato in a tomato-chili sauce, though obviously easy on the chilli if he is v wee)?

tortilla is easy, not like a french omelette - here is a delia recipe for it

anchovies marinaded in vinegar? (from a deli)

Love the fish & chip idea.

He loves rice & salad so could do that. The potato sounds good(he's 5 btw), i'm sure he would eat that, just flicked through the spanish omelette recipe, will definetly try that.

Great ideas, thanks

Its easier if you use a very small frying pan & ensure the base is well cooked before you flip it over with a plate !
Also crusty bread rubbed with olive oil & tomato is nice & very easy !

magdalenas - plain little fairy cake things. They are YUM!
