Already “social distancing”and working from home? Then this is a very well-timed lunch option.

A Wotsits Mac n Cheese has been created to celebrate the launch of two new Wotsits flavours, Sizzling Steak and Flamin’ Hot.

Think cheesy Wotsits folded into a rich cheddar and gooey mozarella sauce topped off with crunchy breadcrumbs. The dish also includes mini bags of Wotsits so you can add extra crunch to your Mac.

The dish is only going to be available in London and for just two days. It’ll be coming from Twisted in Shoredtich and you can order it on Uber Eats to your new desk at home for just £1.50. Frankly, given the wall to wall miserable news this is a temptation we won’t be resisting.
