Thermos food flask - beans and some cheese; thick soup/stew
Cold pasta bowl
Salad bowl - cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, olives, meat/fish/cheese
Pitta or Wraps with fillings or salad/hummous

Ds used to have something like a teacake, cheese chunks, carrot sticks and a yoghurt.

He has now discovered marmite/jam/peanut butter and is fine.

Would wraps work? My two like ham and houmous in their wraps. I have also used Warbertons sandwich squares which my kids call cracker sandwiches, they don't see them as bread.
I have also done cold pasta in pesto which generally goes down well.
I keep meaning to go back and find some of the baby led weaning recipes I used to make because there were cheesy vegetable bakes that would really work well in a packed lunch.

Cold pizza slices? Ham & mushroom, cheese & tomato etc.

Mini sausages.
Cheese & oatcakes/crackers
Pasta salad.
A potato salad with frankfurters?
Vegetable sticks, breadsticks and little pots of dips - hummus, salsa etc.
Savoury muffins - ham & cheese, vegetable.
Cheese scones.

My no-sandwich 3yo takes a variation of this:

pasta & cheese pot
tomato & cucumber pot
red berry pot
grape or kiwi pot
innocent smoothie
cake bite

in this cool rubbish free lunch box.
