#447 – Smoked Chicken Mayo and Roll Lunch

#447 - Smoked Chicken Mayo and Roll Lunch

I’m not a big fan of soggy sandwiches. So when I’m packing a sandwich (or roll) where the filling might cause this to happen I like to pack the bread and filling separately. Then at lunchtime I can assemble it just before eating.

Today’s Lunch:

  • Kitka bread roll,
  • smoked chicken mayo with red onion and fresh mint,
  • blueberries,
  • raspberries and
  • a minneola.

#446 – Spek Wrapped Spanspek Salad

#446 - Spek Wrapped Spanspek Salad

When I bought this spanspek (also known as cantaloupe) I knew that I wanted to eat it with prosciutto or a similar style cured ham. The only cured ham the supermarket had at the time was something called spek which I’d never tried before. That didn’t stop me from buying it though. I’m not going to lie, the alliteration in the title tickled me, but I found the flavour of the spek was too strong for the melon.

Today’s Lunch:

  • Cubes of spanspek wrapped in spek and
  • a salad with shredded cabbage, red onion, sugar snap peas and baby tomatoes.

#425 – Smoked Chicken Sandwich Lunch

#425 - Smoked Chicken Sandwich

The contents of today’s lunch are mostly a remix of yesterday’s Smoked Chicken Salad and it’s has me thinking about other meal remixes.  In particular the meal reimagining mastery of Fancy Food Fast, my remix doesn’t even come close! I’m interested to hear how you deal with leftovers and surplus ingredients to make it feel like you are eating a different meal.  Whether it turning a salad into a sandwich, pasta sauce into a soup or roast meat into a pie leave a comment and let me know.

Today’s Lunch:

  • Smoked chicken, rocket and red onion sandwich on multigrain health bread,
  • carrot sticks,
  • an orange cut into eighths and
  • a mini soccer ball cheese.
