A new video could be just the inspiration people need when it comes to jazzing up their unadventurous lunchboxes.
Earlier this year the Daily Mail revealed that a third of Brits eat the same lunch everyday, with the humble cheese sarnie being a favourite.
However this two-minute clip created by German lifestyle vloggers Food, People, Places showcases 13 delicious and imaginative sandwiches from around the world.
The clip set to music shows the mouth-watering meals being pieced together before your eyes, starting with an Australian favourite - the chicken, avocado and aioli bap.

The lunch enjoyed Down Under consists of walnut bread, a mix of shredded chicken and aioli and is topped with sliced avocado, tomato and salt and pepper.
The next monstrous offering known as The Gatsby comes from South Africa. A foot-long baguette is filled with piri piri sauce, beef brisket, shredded ham, lettuce, and fistfuls of golden fries before being finished with lashings of BBQ sauce.
Not all of the sandwiches are quite as extravagant, particularly the UK's cucumber sandwich - consisting of white bread, with the crusts cut off, and just one filling.
A variation on Danish Smørrebrød is also fairly simple to whip up with a single slice of rye bread, smoked salmon and a little dill.

The USA appears twice in the line up first with the classic school lunchbox favourite PB&J (peanut butter and jelly). And the Sloppy Joe - ground beef fried with tomatoes, onions and ketchup, topped with cheese and sliced gherkins and sandwiched in a sesame bun - also gets a mention.
You are likely to be familiar with European sandwiches such as the Italian Panini and the French Croque Monsieur, which are a popular in cafes across the UK.

Some of the more obscure offerings come from further afield, such as the Vietnamese Banh Mi - a sandwich of many ingredients.
It starts with a spread of pate across a white crusty loaf and is sprinkled with shredded red cabbage, carrot and cucumber. Strips of bacon are then added to the loaf along with coriander and further cabbage. It is finished with sliced green chilies and a dressing of fish sauce.

Other offerings include the Polish Zapiekanka - a half a baguette topped with sauteed mushrooms and plenty of grated cheese and ketchup - and Turkey's Doner Kebab.
The producers, who get to sample all the culinary delights, hope that the sandwich series will encourage viewers to make their own lunches more interesting.

In their video description they write: "How many sandwiches from around the world do we actually know? Some have international reputations, like the Panini or the Croque Monsieur.
"Some are definitely worth getting to know better, such as the Choripán or the Gatsby. All of them have great stories to tell."
