If you had a nine year old kid who was gyoing on a school outing.
What would you pack for it for lunch?

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.

Sounds nice

I would probably pack a yoghurt, a banana or apple depending on the
season, two ham sandwiches with cucumber and an apple juice carton.

My mother used to pack me a bologna and cheese sandwich with mustard, a
boiled egg, carrot and celery sticks, and in those days, they sent a
thermos of some fluid with you, or you were given money for milk. The
liquid of choice from my mom was iced tea.

That sounds nice and healthy. When was this?

Back in the late 60s, early 70s. I was always on a diet, from the age
of 8 on.

Actually, it's a timely question for me, since I do happen to have a 9 yr
old daughter who has an upcoming field trip!
We've discussed what she wanted to bring and her menu consists of:
Turkey sandwich (Turkey and mustard, possibly with cheese, on wheat)
Veggies (for her, generally carrots and broccoli, maybe some cucumbers)
Dip for said veggies
Granny Smith apple (she loves those sour ones)
Bottle of water
Possibly a brownie to something similar.
If it's cold she wants to bring along some tomato soup in a thermos to go
with the sandwich as well. I figure since they eat relatively early (11:15)
during this one that shouldn't be a problem.

I'm really lucky in that this girl loves her veggies and eats pretty darn
healthy for a 9 yr old.
Where's yours going for their outing?

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.

It depends on the kid and what he/she likes. I used to like sandwiches,
cheese and pickle, peanut butter and banana, tuna, salmon, ham and pickle,
ham and cheese, corned beef etc.

My son was not a fan of sandwiches. My wife sometimes boiled a couple
wieners and stuck them in a thermos with some of the hot water. She would
put some relish and mustard on buns and wrap them up. At lunch time he could
dig out the hot wieners and have hot dogs for lunch. His friends were quite
envious of his lunches.

My kids (4 of them ranging from 8-14) have finally gotten to the point
where they pack their own lunches for school. My wife and I still
have to have a "surprise inspection" every now and then to be sure
they're not trying to pack a bag full of nothing but sweet stuff, but
the last few of those inspections showed they're actually doing a
pretty good job of preparing their lunches. :-)

Our lunches for such occasions were usually some sort of salami or
cheese sandwiches, carrot or celery sticks, raisins a/o peanuts, carton
of yoghurt (previously frozen, which thawed by lunch time), milk or
orange juice and a bottle of water. Sometimes some sort of biscuit or
piece of fruit or packet of crisps.

My mother had an absolute horror of food poisoning, so ordinary ham or
anything made with mayo was out of the question. We were also under
strict orders not to eat from anyone else's lunch box! But we knew whose
lunch was 'safe' and whose wasn't.

What I got when I was nine:

Baloney and cheese with butter and mustard on white bread.
Bag o' chips. Sometimes Fritos.
Apple or banana.

I'll have to pass this hint on to 'sis.
Good to teach kids early on how to cook and feed themselves!
Too many of my age group _still_ don't know how to cook. I'm 41. G
Mom started us "cooking" when we were about 4 years old.

I would ask him what he wanted and if he didn't know or care, i would
provide a turkey and cheese sandwich, chips, and cookies or packaged
dessert.
