Jamie Oliver's new Channel4 series<\/a>. (In case you haven't seen it, he's dressed up as all of the Village People, and appears to be wearing some particularly cheeky chaps.) <\/p>\n \n
I'm a big fan of Jamie's. Not just because he's a fab chef and family man, but because of the work he's done with underprivileged kids through the Fifteen Foundation, and also, of course, because of the School Dinners' campaign. <\/p>\n
I only wish I could borrow him for when the new school term starts – because now that we're not supposed to be giving kids ham for their sandwiches, I'm a bit stumped for ideas. Humous dries out too quickly, peanut butter is a no no, tuna isn't liked. <\/p>\n
What do you give your kids for their packed lunches? Let me know and I'll post a round up of the best suggestions in a few weeks. <\/p>\n
