Pete Simson, 37, asked his daughter Pearl, seven, what she thought about her packed lunch that day, once she had returned home from school.

He joked:
"To her mother it's the sign of a strong woman but to me it's plain insolence. I should add my own mother made the worst sandwiches on crumbly bread when I was a kid, but I made damn sure I ate them."
"I suppose it's nice I'm following in a family tradition. Pearl also HATES sourdough, with that and the “hummas" she'll never be a middle-class icon."
