Lunchbox as a kid and you realise your mum has made you the worst ever packed lunch.

Mine was a banana and marmite sandwich. I mean seriously, what kind of sadist was she?

What was your worst ever lunch?

Jam sandwiches used to be a regular... which are great if you eat them after they've just been made. After sitting in a lunchbox wrapped in clingfilm for hours? A soggy mess where the bread was disintegrating into a sort of glutinous sweet paste.

Marmite and banana sounds fucking awful

Mum made her own bread every day and I always had doorstop size cheese and pickle sandwiches. I wanted shop bought sliced white bread like all the other kids. She also baked cakes and biscuits, and I would stare longingly at everyone's penguin bars and kit kats. Looking back I obviously now realise how lucky I was to have healthy home-made food, but back then I just wanted to be normal

Fish paste evolved into cucumber and salad cream.

Great in the winter, but on a sweaty hot 80s summers day they were pure slime by lunchtime

Never had packed lunch but always hate at the school canteen . The food was generally fine but on one occasion , when I was 7, we were served sheep brains ( I'm not British ), it being a catholic school run by nuns you generally tend to behave, but alas I was so appalled that whilst trying to eat the first mouthful I threw up , mouth shut trying to contain it ... so it came through my nose

I heard a story about a mother who made her son varied nutritious sandwiches every day for school lunch. After a few weeks she asked him if he was liking his sandwiches and he told her he swopped them every day with a girl in his class for her jam sandwiches.

Hated tuna butties because they made everything smell of fish (even though I like tuna) and the bread went soggy.

My main concern was that she'd not given me one of the apricot yoghurts because I only wanted to eat the strawberry or raspberry ones!

We also used to get those drinks in a long, slim plastic bottle that you twisted a little piece off the top to drink. Probably full of crap but they were nice

I guess she just thought it was easier that way and knew I'd definitely eat it. I was a bit spoiled I guess.

Funny thing is I can't make a decision for the life of me these days!

From quite an early age I was allowed to make my own so no complaints. Always white bread, usually peanut butter, ham or chicken. I’m a veggie now but not because of my sandwiches.

I used to live opposite a woman who made everything herself to eat, other than using tinned food. Unfortunately she was a terrible cook and her bread came out like bricks. My daughter was friends with her 3 children - they all had packed lunches that were very healthy but were dreadful. All 3 kids used to swop their lunches for everything mass produced and sugary. Whenever her youngest daughter came to play with my daughter she used to steal all the biscuits and sweets and take them home with her in her pockets and down her knickers.
