    What if you grated apple and put it on bread? It's white too. Apple sandwiches were one of our favorites as kids.

    Jacket Potato with optional extras do they can make their own (my kids love being involved). We put these in small bowls on the table and kids can choose: sour cream, avocado, tuna, cheese, corn (that way dd gets lots of choices and other two are limited only by their specific requirements each).

    Wow it's a tough combination of issues. I can think of lots of white but then it has dairy or egg, then lots of egg and dairy free but not white!

    DS is a pretty much white only eater, and doesn't eat 'mixed things' (so sandwiches, quiches etc are a no no). Things that work for us:

    Cheese jaffle (though it gets pulled apart)
    Flat bread/mountain bread
    Cruskits
    Corn cakes
    Plain pasta
    Polenta (I make a big batch with a big chunk of puréed cauliflower and freeze it in portions)
    Crumpets (with whatever topping, though DS will only ever have butter and honey)
    Savoury pike lets. Try adding grated cheese, cauli or peeled zucchini (puréed if you need to). These freeze well.
    Pizza pinwheels
    Salmon 'dip' - cream cheese and tinned salmon mixed together. Lasts a couple of days in the fridge.

    It's not savoury, but DS loves his honey/banana wholemeal muffins. I had to hide the banana at first (ie 'look over there!' and wham, in goes the banana while he's not looking) but now DS 'knows' that you can't make muffins without fruit, or they don't work! Same with pikelets. I can post the recipe if you like - really easy, whole meal flour, no sugar and you can replace the banana with puréed apple or pear (or a mix). They freeze really well and DS usually eats them straight from the freezer

    Nice to hear there are so many other 'white eaters' out there...

    Mine loves Spinach Cheese Pasta. I modify the amount of condiments according to his taste. I also make banana carrot muffins. They are very easy to make. I make around 12 in one go and store them for breakfast or lunch, whenever he decides to have them.
