Marmite SOS - save our sandwiches!

What to put in sandwiches for a child's packed lunch can be a nightmare - especially if your offspring are picky and won't eat certain foods!

Marmite carried out some research and found that:

• over three quarters of mums struggle to think of new fillings for their children’s sandwiches.
• over a half of mums admitting to actually preparing sandwiches that their children don’t like!

Now help is at hand. Mums can email help@marmiteSOS.com with a list of their children’s favourite sandwich ingredients and/or store cupboard essentials, and the fully qualified Marmite nutritionist will respond within five days with a selection of tasty, nutritious, exciting sandwich fillings for your children’s lunchboxes.

Below is one of the suggestions I received.

Chicken Tikka Wrap

• 2 dessertspoons Hellmann’s Real mayonnaise
• 5 cm (2 inches) cucumber, grated and excess liquid squeezed out
• 1 teaspoon fresh chopped mint
• 85g (3oz) cooked Chicken Tikka, sliced
• Handful baby spinach leaves
• 2 plain or tomato tortilla wraps.

Mix together Hellmann’s mayonnaise, cucumber and mint and spread over wraps. Top with chicken and spinach and wrap.
