Summary:
Since the rumblings of economic uncertainty were first felt two years ago, cash concerns have prompted a rapid rise in the trend for so-called ‘Al Desco diningÂ’. In order to cut costs, nearly half of BritainÂ’s workers now regularly eat at their desks, and one in ten do so every day. 40% of people say they now eat Al Desco. Two thirds of them say itÂ’s because it saves time and a third say itÂ’s because it saves money. But, as people increasingly shun pricey shop bought sandwiches in favour of making their own, the nation is inadvertently rediscovering the joys of the classic British sarnie. Cheese and pickle and the BLT are the UKÂ’s joint favourite sarnies according to the research by I CanÂ’t Believe ItÂ’s Not Butter. Traditional English fillings have clearly not gone out of style, despite the abundance of exotic flavours seen in chains throughout the country, as ham and cheese and egg and cress came third and fourth respectively. But what about those among us who want to make the most out of our lunchbox and ‘al descoÂ’ dining? Our video podcast will show you how you can also make it into a networking experience with your colleagues. WeÂ’ll be discussing suitable etiquette for that most confusing of appliances – the office fridge – and what are no-go foods for the office environment. The podcast will also be sharing hints and tips on transforming your desk environment for your lunch hour, to feel as though you have left the office, even when you haven't.
