You can freeze bread you know. Buy enough Portugese rolls for the week but take out enough for the next day's lunch from the freezer the night before.

Do you have a Ben 10 or a Sponge Bob lunchbox?

What's a Portuguese roll? Is this Mumsnet-talk for something else? I feel left out

Just a nice bread roll from Spinneys. No idea what the Portuguese connection in? Perhaps they go well with Sardines?

I'm hungry now.

Frozen bread is rank. Only good for toast.

A friend of mine's wife would freeze his whole sandwich!

You may find it tastes better if you allow it to defrost before eating it.

Debatable.

Allegedly, motorway service stations and the like "refresh" sandwiches near their sell-by date by recovering the filling and putting it in fresh bread. A man in a pub told me.
