| A 'lunch' of Ryvitas |
White bread sandwich or
brown bread sandwich? Life doesn't have to be that dull but most days
the inspiration to keep thinking up something new and tasty for lunch
is a struggle. So I was rather pleased when Ryvita
sent me a selection of their crisp and flat breads for me to try. As
some of you may know I'm a fan of lunch items that have a long shelf
life which means when making up a lunch box in the morning you are
not faced with the dreaded mouldy or lack of bread situation.
My package of goodies
included a toppings ideas sheet which I promptly tossed to one side
so I wouldn't be influenced. Apologies if there are any duplications
but here are my top five fridge raids for a tasty and quick lunch.
Original Crackerbread
Upon first inspection these
do resemble cardboard but the benefit of their neutral taste is that
you can jazz them up with sweet or savoury toppings. A particular
favourite has been Brussels Pâté
and cucumber.
Multigrain
Crispbread
This
is probably more what people usually think Ryvita is. It's a great
base for any lunchtime topping and will take a number of strong
flavours. I found some extra mature cheddar and potato salad plus
some fresh chives to put on top.
Crackled
Black Pepper Crispbread
It
says it's Crackled Black Pepper and that's certainly what you get!
This one has a bit of a kick to it. To tone it down I used some thin
ham and cooling coleslaw.
Sweet
Chilli Flatbread Thins
On
the packet there is a picture of two red chillies with good reason as
these really do breathe some fire into your throat. As an alternative
to bread soldiers I had them with boiled eggs.
Multi-Seed
Flatbread Thins
These
have a slightly usually taste due to the mix of hemp, brown linseed,
golden linseed and millet seeds. Good for smothering with cream
cheese mixed with basil.
So
five different types of Ryvita with five no fuss ways to eat them.
All of the family have been eating these and none have been rejected,
which is as good as endorsement a product can get.
Ryvita
sent me the above packets for free. No payment was made for this post
and the views and opinions are my own.
