It is not my kid going anywhere (mine isn´t born yet!) but my friends
daughter and we were talkiong about what was suitable. Then my husband
told us what an english packed lunch was like where he grew up and
well, the disucssion was a fact.

Generally yhere is a big difference between england and sweden like
that. a n english packed lunch with a white bread sandwich, a packet
of crisps, a chocolate bar and a soft drink didn't exactly match what
my friend had in mind.

In Sweden a typical packed lunch would be a small thrmos of hot
chocolate, a few brown bread sandwiches with sausage (like a mild
salami) and sliced cucumber and a fruit. Maybe a yoghurt or a hard
boild egg.

The first ten years of your life you try to be just like your parents.
Then for then years you try to be as little as your parents as possible.
Then you gradually change in to them.
