[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is averyone so against sandwiches? If you don't like cold cuts, use chicken or steak, or avocado or tofu or any veggie or smoked fish.  My kids love pita pockets with goat cheese and avocado or with hummus and lox. Nothing wrong with a sandwich and easier to eat and clean up. [/quote]

I don't know about your kid, but my kid is just tired of them.   He's at a little private school with no cafeteria and I have packed his lunch daily for school and summer camp for four years now.  He will still eat them, but is really looking for something different.

OP to answer your question, my DH is Egyptian and we pack koshary sometimes.  A mix of rice, lentils, sometimes pasta, and fried-black onions, with a spicy tomato sauce.   Easy thermos food leftovers for us.

His best friend at school is Indian, and his mom packs idlis for him.  A little white cake make out of lentils and rice, with some sugar (instead of chutney) on top.  She's made some for my son to take to school too.  Big hit.
