Best convenience finger food?

What’s the BLW/finger food equivalent of jars/pouches of baby food? I’m looking for things I can just open and feed DD (11M) without too much prep or batch cooking or rolling things in chia seeds.

I do cook and prepare things for her most of the time, but it would be great to have something like a jar/pouch (but solid) that I can give her quickly when out and about. DD won’t eat savoury food from a spoon, she has to finger feed herself.

Plain rice cakes
Bread sticks
Cut up veg - peppers, cucumber, celery, tomatoes
Banana, cut up apple, quartered grapes (or buy a snack pack of grapes and bite them in half)
Hard boiled eggs, quartered
Cheerios, little shaped crackers
Raisin/Apple/Apricot wheats
Those melty puff things from the baby food aisle
Cooked cold chicken, meatball or sausage (halved/quartered, so not a round shape)
Raisins, dried cranberries, banana chips
Cold pasta/pasta salad (can also buy pre made from lunch aisle)
Sandwiches with thin/sticky fillings, like cream cheese, cut into triangles or rectangles (1/8 of a slice of bread) - if you squash the sandwich it is easier for them to eat.
Cubes of cheese, babybel broken in half
Cold slices of buttered toast, crumpets, pancakes, hot cross bun etc.
Small amount of whatever you are eating, if you've bought food
Happy meal fish fingers and carrot sticks :o :o
