advice on freezing things please

I've only frozen meat sandwiches with perhaps some relish.  Ham in particular freezes well.

Thanks cookie. I wonder if cheese and ham would work too?

My DH makes sandwiches and freezes to take to work, ham and cheese, but he cooks them in the sandwich maker. Can see why they wouldn't be ok, it's a long long time since I had to make school lunches.

Ham, pineapple and grainy mustard sandwiches freeze and thaw really well in lunch boxes and are very tasty.
I use thinly slice canned pineapple.

Polony and sauce sandwiches - now that brings back memories Cookie    That was my standard school lunch for years - along with cheese and vegemite and corned beef and tomato sauce - both of which freeze well.

I just introduced my 2 boys to fritz and sauce sandwiches last weekend (SA equivalent).  They loved them.  Easy street for school lunches

Thats what I do for my FS Cookie.  He has lots of commuting as his parents live north of the city. I "draw" a heart and a cross on the bread with tomato sauce and tell him it has my love in it.  I wrap inividually and freeze then we always have something ready.  He is the only one that eats polony in our house so was forever throwing it out.

That's so sweet Denise.

That is lovely Denise. Do others take him for the visits and bring him back?

[Bedlam]

We have done some of the commuting but not any more. Big days for the little fellow. First sleepover this week. He is showing signs of confusion. Sad how the most impacted are the innocent.  All going good though.

Karen thanks for saying what SA equivalent of polony is ... was wondering what everyone was talking about 😄

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought fritz or polony or devon (different names for different states in Australia) was slightly carcinogenic.  DH was a butcher and he told me I would never eat fritz if I saw it being made (he never would tell me what it was made from though).  We had it as kids, my kids enjoyed it as do my GKs but I never have it myself now because of this reason and I wouldn't give it to my GKs either.  Pop dogs are also off the menu for me, in fact, I guess I could say all manufactured meat is off the menu.  Not sure if sausages fit this category, probably not but goodness knows what goes into them.

That's scary Judy. I know manufactured meat isn't good for us or sausages either. For the heart bacon is a no no too. We have bacon and sausages occasionally. It must be over 20 years since I had a piece of polony/fritz/??
