Eating solid food is still a new experience for your toddler. He/she may need time to get used to the various textures, colors, and tastes of new food. And because young children crave consistency and familiarity (from bedtime routines to afternoon snacks), most of them won't try new foods until you've served them numerous times.
That said, this is a great time to teach your child to try new things, before he/she gets too set in their ways and before he begins to reject new foods as a way of asserting his/her independence (a distinct possibility as he/she nears their second birthday!). Offer a variety of healthy foods often, so he/she has the opportunity to dig in when they are ready — if not at lunch, then maybe during an afternoon snack.
