Like the sound of your packed lunch Muffy, remember it is hard to think of different things each day. |

My children took packed lunches as I (a dinner lady) saw what the 'pizza' was made of - a pizza base, tomato ketchup and Kraft cheese slices! |

Trouble is some children leave school unable to read so not much chance of them being able to cook. |

I shall most likely be shot down in flames here..but some children just don't DO this phonics business...my eldest didn't......she'd at 12, still be struggling to read to this day if I hadn't ignored the teachers and taught her the way I was taught. |

I was, until recently a schoo cook. I can assure you, no horse meat was knowingly served |

If you want to see what lunches are available at schools near you, try looking here, you may get a shock. |

Its all very well saying 'ban packed lunches' but not all parents could afford the cost if every one of their children had to purchase school ones. |

I think the cost is reasonable as it is a main meal, the packed lunch many children have is equivalent to what they could be given in the evening when they get home. |

I used to love school dinners but that was a long long time ago. I understand that not all school meals are now cooked on the premises. My son hated his school dinners, so I began giving him packed lunches. We always used to cook together when he was at home, and he is now a superb cook. |

Multi grain bread used in sandwiches is a good route to take, along with washed carrot and celery cut into fingers. a few cubes of cheese and a some grapes or orange segments make a nice finish to a packed lunch. Sadly, children are not introduced to raw vegetables nowdays, so this could be a none starter. |

We had beef every week for our Sunday roast and occasionally when it appeared to be tough my father always said the same thing..... |

I agree Kay, one of our grandchildren will only eat raw vegetables. |

During both wars meat was scarce and horsemeat (probablly old nags) was sold openly by butchers. But all who remember will tell you the worst was Whalemeat. |
