Background - I have a slightly fussy eating 9 year old DS.
Since starting school he's had school dinners, all fine and mostly he can find something he likes. But this year we've said he can have a mix of school dinners and packed lunches throughout the week.
The problem I'm having is working out what to feed him that isn't just a ham/pastrami/salami sandwich. I don't want him eating processed meat multiple times a week and also want him to have some variety in his diet. He loves peanut butter sandwiches but that's a no go for school due to nut restrictions. He will eat cheese in a sandwich but only a toastie!
At a push I can give him tuna and cucumber (says he doesn't like - after previously being a favourite - but he can and will eat it) and he also likes smoked salmon (although salty and expensive so not something for every day!). What other sandwich fillings could I try with him? Or any other creative suggestions for an easy lunch. I thought maybe cold pizza could be an option.
I'm also thinking of maybe sending pasta salad or similar, and looking into getting a hot flask thing to send in leftover chilli, bolognese, soups...
But I'd really like some different sandwich ideas... I'm sat here trying to write a shopping list so I can go out and do the weekly shop before school pick up and I'm drawing a big fat blank!
