I thought it'd be a good idea to have a thread for packed lunches, for ideas and inspiration.

Oh my goodness, you put me to shame :lol:

Jonah gets either ham, tuna, chicken or cold sausage sandwich/roll, crackers with cheese, raisins, fruit, salad, home-made cereal bar & juice. Very noccasionally he will get a choccie biscuit! He will eat cold pasta though so occasionally he gets left-overs from tea the night before.

He doesn't tend to get bored though and always eats everything :D
