Best things in the world are sliced carrot sticks, lettuce sticks (Yes, with peanut butter or cheddar inside), you'd be surprised how good an apple is when you're a hungry kid!
Don't make sandwiches - Buy some good whole grain rolls, seeded, or flavored, and a stick or two of cheese to go with it on the side. Cruise the grocery, fruit and bakery sections to make surprises.
If you must - Jerky is good. But consider the great trail mixes and/or dried fruits there are available. Skip the plastic-wrapped "Meal lunches," for something real. Stick in a bottled water, or a natural tea, instead of any sodas.
Have you been to any Oriental Food store? There is a teenage favorite of mine, dried squid, and seafood crackers, that until you try it - You won't believe how delicious it is. There you can find other dried delicacies, too.
If you must, put a sterno stove, matches, and a survival knife, with instructions on how to catch and cook wild game, depending on where you live.

Try sandwiches with diversity like cheese and crackers or peanut butter and crackers, Bagels and anything or a tortilla with meat, then there is fruit, veggies and dipping sauce, celery sticks rolled in sliced meat or spread with peanut butter, fruit and nuts or Salad send in a throw away bowl.Boiled eggs (but look out for the smell)
Just about any cold snack can also be a lunch. Good Luck.

This is a good question. I distributed a list of cold lunch suggestions after we found out that we cold not microwave the chldren's lunches at school. Here are a few:

pasta salads
gazpacho
rolled-up meats and cheeses pierced with toothpicks
homemade trail mix
fruit salad
tortilla or pita sandwiches (a little diferent from the norm)
sandwiches cut with cookie cutters
meats and cheeses cut into fun shapes
Lunchables-style pre- packaged lunches (a last resort)

I also used to put rolled tortilla sandwiches but with some honey ham and swiss/edam cheese with some honey mustard, then slice into "sushi" bites. My fave? Nothing better than cold fried chicken, fresh fruit salad and crusty roll (pre-buttered) and a small zip bag of pickles. I wouldn't recommend potato salad...... mayo and heat don't mix! :(

Freeze juice boxes or those small containers of fruit/applesauce, they keep the lunch cold but will thaw to the perfect temperature by the noon bell. Don't forget to buy some plastic cutlery at the dollar store, so much cheaper than having to buy new silverware at the end of every school year! Best of luck!

I'm not a big fan of sandwiches myself, and I still eat "packed lunches". Here's some foods my mom and I have come up with, as well as my friends:

-"Thermos foods"--My mom often heats up a frozen dinner so that it is very hot in the morning before school. She packs it in a thermos, and by lunch (5 hours later), it's often still warm. Make sure you get a good, insulated (but not glass!) thermos. Personally, I like Lean Cuisines for the frozen dinners. We also do the same thing with Chinese food leftovers.

-Salads. As long as you pack the dressing tightly in a separate container, they can be quite good for lunch.

-Bagels w/butter or cream cheese or something along those lines

-Leftovers. Occasionally, if we have chicken cutlets or something like that, my mom will pack one for my lunch. They're typically kind of cold by lunch, but they don't taste bad like that.

-Pizza, if your cousin is ok with cold pizza. I'm not, but my little brother loves it.

Beyond that, you can also just try to vary the sandwiches. Different types of bread, meat, etc.

Banana, apple, cheese stick, nuts, cookie, muffin, Biscotti and etc. In terms of health, it should be something sweet, sour, or dried in general if you care about microbiology. Other things like meat and milk can turn bad easily within four hours. If you must bring meat like ham, processed roast beef and etc, you can put some more salt, pepper or/and vinegar on the meat to kill the bacteria, and make sure your kid could eat it within four hours unless it's refrigerated below 4 F.

Small thermos of beef stew, chili, veg.soup, add fruit and a dessert such as cookies or pudding-in-a-cup. There r many pre-packaged individual servings of foods, even ready to eat tuna salad and crackers, cheese spread and crackers, u can alternate these with the usual sandwiches.

You can send organic granola, healthy, sweet and crunchy. Also make it fun, with string cheese sticks so they can pull them apart. Hard boiled eggs, for protein. Get them to try Hummus with pita bread. Take them to an organic store and ask them what they think they would like to try. Sometimes they have deli's with already prepared items that you can taste food there to see if you like it or not. Get them involved in their lunches and don't you do all the work. They even have baby carrots that they can dip those in little containers of Ranch dressing. Get some cookie cutters and let them cut their bread and make designs for sandwiches. Make lunches like miniature hors-d'oeuvres.

Crackers and cheese or whatever the child likes. Dried fruit, yoghurt, cold quiche, a salad with the child's favourite things in it, boiled eggs, banana, that wrap type bread with fav fillings, dips and crackers - trying to think of the slow release energy type foods....hope those ideas help you a bit.

Lettuce wraps, Lunchables (those little boxed lunches), veggie burgers, salad... Heck, why don't you just ask the kid what the other kids are eating at lunch that looks good? Then you'll know for sure what you could make.
