Most nutritious/calorie-dense finger foods?

[LeeMiller]

DS (10 months) has never been a great eater, with frequent food strikes when teething. He is breastfed and luckily has never gone off milk. He is currently cutting his molars early and often refuses to eat, other times he refuses the spoon (not sure if this is teething or age related) but will feed himself. He is on the slim side but not underweight.

Any suggestions for particularly nutrient/calorie dense finger foods? He loves egg, salmon, mackerel, broccoli, avocado but it's getting a bit repetitive.

Was going to say oily fish, but is already eating that, I would stress just to keep trying, neither of mine ate much before a year, it's all about getting them to try things. Fish pie was a favourite of theirs as was shepherds pie made with sweet potatoes

I will try some Shepard's pie type dishes, that's a good idea thanks. I'm trying hard not to stress, when he's eating he'll eat most things except really sweet fruit, but the periods of refusing stuff are hard.

Grated vegetables (carrot and courgette were particularly popular) into a drop scone recipie (omit any sugar if it's in the recipie). Grated cheese is also nice in them. Sweetcorn if he is ok with uneven textures.

Fingers of cheese?
Tuna in oil. Mashed with avocado on a flat bread?
Banana and avocado mashed together got eaten a lot, but makes the most awful stains!

Peanut (or any nut) butter on bread, crackers, thinly sliced apple or with a celery "spoon"

I love the dropscone idea, thank you, lots of potential to vary that. Also nut butters on crackers/bread is a good idea, he'd been having in stirred into yoghurt but he's only interested in bite-size pieces of stuff at the moment.
