Peanut butter and peach rolls

When I was in Year 5 (aged 9 -10) , my Mum decided that my sister and I would eat a large brown wholemeal roll for our packed lunch each day. Inside, it would be spread with peanut butter and then inside would be put tinned peach slices. I remember thinking that this was a rather curious thing to be given for lunch, unlike anything anyone else ate. This remained the main part of my packed lunch for most of that year.  It wasn't unpleasant, it was just curious, a bit random and strange was what I thought. What do you think of this? Did your parents give you anything unusual for lunch? Did you get much variation or like me, did you eat the same thing every day?

When I worked in Reception classes last year, I usually entertained the school dinners children whilst they waited, helped explain what things were, served salads or helped chop up difficult items like jacket potatoes or sausages. Sometimes though, I would help supervise packed lunches, Some of the items they had in their packed lunches amazed me. I saw children on several occasions with those instant noodles (or super noodles) in a plastic box. Others had rolled up pancakes in wrappers.  Fish fingers and cold cut up potato waffles, cold oven chips. Several  squeezy yoghurts in tubes.   Forget the Bento Box mums, there's a whole heap of random foods going on here. When I say that, I mean compared to my idea of a Packed lunch from the past: sandwiches or a roll with an apple, maybe crisps or a biscuit!

What about you? Tell me about your packed lunch experiences.

P.S. Forget (or perhaps be pleased at) my brevity- I'm rather annoyed tonight!
