hey gavin9 ill see what recipes i can give        

hey jams001,
have you tried a couscous salad like I mentioned on the last page? Also, I somehow managed to get my daughter to try a puy lentil salad tonight (just lentils, mixed lettuce leaves and a tiny bit of seasoning - she freaks out at the idea of a dressing!!!) and she really liked it, it has now given me loads of confidence to try her on things that I never even thought of before (unfortunately, she refused to try the lentils again once I had mixed them with vinaigrette and goats cheese, but I will persevere! plus there was all the more for my dinner lol).
I can understand the thing about not having a proper plate, my little girl has had school dinner twice in 14 months and both times asked why they have a strange divided tray.  I let her help me choose things for her lunchbox when we are shopping, and often give her a choice about what she would like to take in her lunchbox (but only give 2 options) and that way she feels like she is in charge of what she is eating. I have found a huge improvement in the fact that her box comes home empty each day.
I wouldn't even consider giving her a hot school dinner the way things are at the moment, her school are trying to improve the meals, but at the end of the day they say the county council are in charge of the money and the dinner ladies don't have enough training. It's sad, I consider her schoo, to be achieving very well in every aspect apart from this, there just doesn't seem to be enough imput from the powers that be into the future of our childrens diets, and while that is the case, I will continue to send a packed lunch. 
Woo, rant over
