Can you imagine prawns without mayonnaise? Photograph: Roger Tooth
Happy Tuesday lunch bloggers! Cleared a small space on your desk for the perfect bap already? Gazed longingly at that foil-wrapped baguette you so lovingly created this morning? Or dipped a quick finger into the Tupperware box of lunchtime promise?
That, of course, is the problem with creating a delicious packed lunch: you want to eat it well before the clock hits one. And it's even worse if you're thinking of bringing last night's leftovers for lunch.
This week, in the spirit of our prawn and crayfish theme - sorry non-shellfish eaters - I was fully prepared to bring in a bowl of last night's prawn green curry and noodles. What a lunch! Spicy, coconuty, a bit limey and, well, a lot prawny - the only problem would be trying to eat it tidily.
Except, like many a good curry, my delicious prawn concoction was not destined to hang around; gulped down for dinner last night and not a morsel left for my lunch. (We had to sustain ourselves after watching Delia - DELIA! - break open the tinned mince.)
So what should I be having instead? Last week's suggestions for the best chicken sandwich were tip-top quality - lots of fantastic combinations, and the obligatory roast/poach discussion. So what should we be stuffing into our rolls this week? Does crayfish only arrive with rocket attached (I have never seen it in a high street sandwich without it)? Can a prawn survive a sandwich without mayonnaise? What are the best shop-bought options?
