Thermos flask lunch ideas (for school)

[Upandonward]

What do you put into a thermos flask for your DC’s school lunch please? I’m after some ideas that aren’t soup or baked beans.

DS refuses all pasta meals except for Mac n cheese.

Curry and rice
Chilli and rice
Baked potato with topping?

Stew and potatos
Mince
Paella
Sausage rolls

My dd tends to have various types of noodles

Stirfry with rice or noodles.

Nothing with too much sauce otherwise sauce ends up down his front or round his mouth!
Also, I caution against keeping rice in a thermos. It can be done but it is risky. Below 60 degrees, a bacteria can grow quickly which can lead to food poisoning. As long as you’re sure the thermos will keep it above 60 until lunchtime, you’re fine.
