What's better to wrap my sandwiches in: foil or plastic bag?

If the OP tells us the exact size of his rounds, thickness and number of sandwiches we can make a precise Tupperware recommendation.
 
More importantly, if you make a sandwich using two slices of bread and then cut it in half, do you still only have one sandwich or do you now have two?
 
Foil keeps my sandwhiches fresher than cling film so thats what I use. Beeswax sandwich wraps sound incredibly pretentious and a lot of faff.

I think it depends if it's being eaten by a passenger on a plane that's on a giant treadmill

This thread.

Tin.

Plastic will kill you.

All GOLD.

Wrap them in cling film, it will be more air tight and air is the issue.
Unless you work somewhere with Alpha and Beta Radiation in which case go for foil. But you will have bigger issues there.

As far as plastic killing you, Mate don't leave you house, Diesel Particulates are doing you in much more than a bit of clingfilm
 
Are beeswax wraps the modern (And no doubt considerably more expensive) equivalent of grease proof paper?

(Me, Foil round sarnies to hold them together, sarnies inside click lock box to protect them. )

Why do they need holding together? My wife does this with the kids lunches - can't understand needing to use foil/clingfilm/sandwich bags when they are going into a plastic lunchbox anyway.

My sandwiches/yoghurt/fruit all go in the same click lock box. Never had an issue, even when cycling to work with lunchbox in my backpack.

there is a tessilation problem to resolve though ?
sardine/banana (not together) versions can make a mess if they fall apart. - thus, either a shallow container, doorstops, or gluey fillings ?


[ tupperware - that is showing folks age .. does that mean anything to >= millenial ]

Well, My Cheese and pickle yesterday would have been all over the inside of my lunch box had they not been wrapped. I guess if you are using a sandwich filler it is less of an issue.

The way I see it, there are several criteria affected by what I use.

How bad is each for the environment (plastic is in the news but how much resource is involced with digging up tin), what is better for flavor (will the plastic leak, will I get heavy metal poisoning?), what is most cost effective etc.

What do you do?

I don’t do anything since I sold my Black Cab and quit work, but from a mixture of couldn’t be *****, and knowing that I could afford it, if I felt a hunger pang around 13.30-13.45) (I used to leave home around 09.30-09.45), I’d look for a Pret A Manger, and get a crayfish and avocado sandwich, and an Americano to go, then park in Hyde Park, Regents Park, or Lincoln’s Inn Fields, whichever I was nearer to, and eat it while reading the i.
 
Those beeswax wraps are horifficaly expensive, bloody hell. £20 for 4?? I've had the same foil thing, which cost about £5, for nearly 3 years now.

I wrap my sandwhiches in foil. I hate clingfilm.
