Chicken and ... choices, choices

Still disconsolate because Masterchef has come to an end? Fear not foodie workers - we're going to be having our own version of television's toughest challenge. Only with far less shouting. And with only the contents of our lunchboxes for the ingredients test.

Instead of whipping up our finest two courses in just an hour, we'll be breaking out the sandwiches, shaking out the salad, and um, cracking open the couscous in our hunt for the finest lunch fare in the land.

This week's theme is chicken, and we want to know who makes the finest chicken sandwich on the high street; which delicious recipes we should be creating with Sunday's leftovers; and whether anything really can beat a decent chicken salad on granary bread. Is that actually the perfect sandwich? And what are our thoughts on mayonnaise ... altogether too gloopy or an absolute necessity?

I'll be here from 1pm with my M&S Moroccan chicken and chickpea extravaganza, which I am very much looking forward to. So share your chicken-y lunch tips. Following the wild success of the cheese-themed week and last week's romp through the delights of leftovers I'm expecting great things this lunchtime. The best of your comments will be relayed to hungry lunchers across the land in next week's Office Hours.

And in any case, what's the alternative this lunchtime? Mr Cameron chatting to you live? Chicken sandwich or talking to Dave - your choice lunchers, your choice.

See you at 1pm.
