We don't do lunchmeat, but we do deli slices (the vegan version of lunch meat - fake ham, turkey, bologna, salami) and the kids love them, both plain and in sandwiches.
I do a lot of leftovers for lunch. Rice-based things or pasta-based things are always a hit. Veggies and rice, beans and rice, pasta and veggies, pasta salad.
Baked tofu of any type is gobbled up almost instantly - my apricot-glazed version is probably both kids' favorite food. I can make two packages of tofu and having leftovers is a strange occurrence.
My stepdaughter used to definitely be a part of the fruit and dairy club, but she has branched out quite a bit over time. That thing that nutritionists say about kids having to try things 10-12 times has proven true in our case - tofu used to be a contentious item. Look at her now.
