Oh, I like the spring rolls with rice paper idea! And she loves that kind of food!

Probably not. Very occasionally she will do cold pizza but usually not. And she won't do cold stromboli.

My kids like frittata with cheese, and will eat it cold or hot.
My middle likes salads, with fancy toppings so it's nice and crunchy, and more filling. I send the dressing separately.
I do all that with the thermos - the hot water and super hot food. And when we had the earlier lunch it was fine but now with the later lunch she doesnt like it as much. I even do a bigger lunch container so I can keep it seperated from anything that needs to be kept cold, but no luck. I don't know if its the later lunch or she doesn't like it anymore, but Ive done it that way back when I could.

I don't know if she would like frittata cold. WE do quiche with a quinoa crust & she doesn't like that cold so I am guessing not.

Generally, she doesn't like normally hot served food cold.

She really isn't picky on food at all. I think we have just hit the one area where it's a little tougher.

eta: No on salad. She does like salad, but we do salads at home and if its a salad without chicken at school she will order it and tends to get salad burned out if she has too many. And there are only a couple days a month she buy a lunch & I don't want to lose my meatless salad day I dont have to pack (90% of the salads have chicken on them, then there is a taco salad one time - so also a no, and like 1 or 2 salads with egg a month; There are quite a few vegetarian options available, but most of them are not good - they are cafeteria food quality, kwim? they serve pb&j every day but she doesnt like those bc they are the nasty prepackaged smuckers, and she doesnt like the cheese bread, and the grilled cheese is weird and shaped like a . . . fish? I don't know, I suspect its prepackaged and reheated. She will only eat the yogurt parfait (all wednesdays) and cheese pizza (but pizza is only 2 days out of every 3 weeks) and mac n cheese (but that is only 1 time every 3 weeks). There is a pasta with marinara sauce 1 time but it falls on yogurt parfait day).
