Monster Snake Meal
Let the kids make your lunch! A couple of bagels, tuna, egg with a few odds and ends will give them an hour or so of fun and a great topped bagel as well. Scary, but delicious.
Any topping can be used and the glace cherries can be substituted with cherry tomatoes.
3 bagels
For the egg mayonnaise
2 or 3 hard-boiled eggs (12 minutes)
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 chopped stalks of chives
3 tablespoons salad cress
salt and pepper to taste
For the tuna mixture
One 185g / 6½oz can of tuna
50g / 2oz grated cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 spring onions, finely sliced
To decorate
Glace cherries (different coloured if possible), 4 chives stalks. Anything else you can think of!
PREPARATION TIME: 40 minutesBoil the eggs for 12 minutes then cool them under running water.
Remove the shell from the eggs. Roughly chop the eggs with a blunt knife and put them in the fridge.

Decorate the snake with whatever you have. We used red, green and yellow glace cherries, a couple of chocolate bits (for the eye centres) and some chives. The tongue was simply sliced red glace cherry.
