Yesterday I mentioned I had the idea to make a lunch out of some sort of salmon. I ended up buying lox, one of Juju's favorites and figured I should give her a test run before packing this dish as a lunch. Juju actually has a problem eating sandwiches/wraps. She doesn't really get that you're supposed to take one big bite and taste the flavors of the bread, spread, lettuce, protein, etc together. This is why she is one of the few children I know who does not like grilled cheese. She just pulls the bread apart and tries to pick at the cheese and seems disatisfied with the whole experience.
I am a little afraid to send her with a salmon and cream cheese sandwich because if she starts to pick it apart at school, the results could be, well, gross for all parties involved in clean up. So, I made it for breakfast today and we'll see if she is mature enough to handle this lunch at school.
I realize this could make the whole experience even more gross with thin strands of lox strewn across the lunch table, but how about cutting it in sushi-sized pieces? Will it even stay together?
