How is it in your country?

Where you get the first course (veggies)

This is for desserts and cheese

Picrel helps our kids maintain their 85 IQ.

Kind of like in his >>211820558 country

wtf is school lunch?

>>211820902
Wait, what?

>>211821364
this is school lunch in greece

>>211820558
The older I get the more I understand why macaroni is the superior pasta

>>211820520 (OP)
You usually get one pack of biscuits once at the end of the year, even though you're supposed to get one daily as a "supplemental nutrition plan" to "help" financially disadvantaged students, but school administrators just keep the boxes they get from the government to resell them to supermarkets, and only give one packet out to each student per year to say "hey technically we gave them some!"

Circled in picrel is the only one I've gotten in my town:

>>211821530
For reference this is what a school storage room usually looks like, but they're just cheap, greedy, and corrupt (90% of MENA) so they just resell it.

>>211821553
>>211821515
Holy shit how terrible

>>211821478
Grim. Eating well is the most important thing...

>>211820520 (OP)

Was a bit difficult finding realistic images online because Google search showed a bunch of extremely unrealistic pictures as first results. You'll notice corn is in pretty much anything due to corn subsidies and contracts.

>>211821713
Believe it or not this was considered the best cafeteria meal. When they served pic related was the best day of the month because everything else is much worse than this and usually does not look edible

>>211821553
>>211821530
Wow that's messed up

>>211820520 (OP)
what is that cabbage side dish?

>>211820802
When I was in school we basically had nothing.

>>211821680
I do not miss shitty brown sauce and the chewy potatoes

>>211820520 (OP)
When I was in school this wasn't even a thing. Only kindergarten had it, sometimes not even those. Or universities but you paid for it and it was utter shit.

>>211820520 (OP)
I liked these pyramid shaped milk containers

>>211821713
corn instead of proper salad? must be because it's cheaper or something

>>211821761
It looks like chicory

>>211820520 (OP)
We uhhh didn't have that
Just had a vendor that sold day old bread
Or reheated samosas
Or some biscuits

>>211821761
Seems pretty good.
It's endive salad with ham.
>>211821783
>>211821680
Seems really normal to me except for the milk glass. Would add a fruit but it looks good. What's the brown thing? Is it buckwheat?

>>211820520 (OP)
School lunch for us is you go back home and eat whatever your family cooks during noon
Later in middle and highschool we'd go out to a shop nearby and get semi-proper breakfast/school lunch, pic semi related

>>211821868
in the plate?
some sausage gravy

>>211821680
This is like if you designed a meal to be the opposite of everything Mediterranean, lol.

>>211822261
Very balkan of you.

>>211820802
that's not how it works. so long as you aren't severely malnourished you don't lose IQ development. you're just mixed

Been a while since I've had a school lunch but this is generally considered a staple - UHO (universal brown sauce) with slab of mystery meat or finely minced offal and side of overcooked rice or undercooked potatoes. Plus weak tea, and chicken soup (weak chicken broth with approximately two pieces of chicken skin and five noodles swimming in the bowl).

>>211822490
Very east of the iron curtain.
I approve.

>>211821680
Had the same kind of food in my school. After seeing what other schools got and this thread I am certain I went to a very shitty school.

Your schools served you food? Kek we don’t do that in Germany maybe in University only

>>211822590
At least you got food. During my time we had to bring our own lunch or go out and buy some stuff from a store/fast food place. Later on they introduced the milk and bread (saw some kids have a milk carton fight in a classroom once) and after that added an apple and some biscuits.

>>211822422
I meant that this food is meant to keep the kids at or below 85 IQ.

>>211821553
This is very grim. Why don't you help each other as a community and lynch the thiefs?

>>211820520 (OP)
I could not afford school lunch, so I got given these little cards by the school that allowed me to redeem stuff from the canteen up to a value of £1 every day. I used to buy a can of Dr Pepper and a Kinder Bueno with it.

The blue plate is the sovl, but it's good

>>211820520 (OP)
I can’t remember what it was like in primary school but in secondary we had a canteen with lots of different foods from healthy options like salad and baked potato, to toasted sandwiches and unhealthy options like desserts and fish and chips on a Friday.

>>211823546
:(

>>211820520 (OP)

>>211823633
Similar to our highschools then. But takeout places also knew setting up near a highschool was solid business, so just about every highschool here has a takeout place within walking distance and we'd all just go out and buy proper fish and chips for lunch (since the school cafeteria fish and chips was usually kinda bland).

>>211821619
Now as an adult eating plain pasta every day I realize how good we had it as kids.

>>211823478
>Why not help each other?
Because if you're sending your kids to a public school you're already broke and so is your social circle (classism is very prevalent in the Arab world and different classes don't really mix).
>Lynch the thiefs
The thiefs are at the top of the community hierarchy. Also we're not subsaharan Africa we don't solve everything by lynching.

>sloppy joes
>sub sandwiches
>hot dogs
>macaroni and hamburger
>pizza
>hamburgers
>pizza subs
everything as minimalist as possible, like processed white bread + the minimum required ingredients to register as what was advertised
pizza subs were the school favorite (tomato sauce, cheese and pepperoni on a half-toasted processed white bun)

>>211821530
there are programs like that here too usually involving some sort of sandwich or fruit,but since this programs are coordinated by the ministry of education as pilot/research programs those fruits and sandwiches ended up in schools adjacent to universities that operated as defacto private schools were rich people used their means to get their children there

How are countries that get meals like this as children not insanely patriotic?

>>211820520 (OP)
Only schools in really poor areas here give out food (usually pic related). Otherwise you must bring your own food.

>>211820520 (OP)
I don't know because I ate my lunch at home

>>211823546
kinder bueno is tasty

we dont have breakfast in greece every greek just eats lunch at around 3pm

>>211821761
Why do you make even children eat spicy food?

>>211822422
Flynn effect disagrees with this.
Any amount of shortage on any macro/micro nutrition during growth will inhibit brain development

>>211823633
I was born in 1992 and I remember Jamie Oliver's campaign, and how the school canteen changed almost overnight. Out went the Fanta and Cola and the stand with crisps and chocolate, in came cheap, nasty imitations of popular meals that were supposed to be 'healthy'

>>211821680
at least there is some semblance of something fresh on the plate

>tfw no school lunch in Germany
>tfw you have to bring your own food just like when you visit friends

>>211825772
in netherlands kids have to tikkie the school administration

>>211825686
Efendi is a Turkish thing, not really Arabic and they don't like each other anyways. Try again Hellanon.

In brazil atleast in my city we had different meals everyday but it would usually have some meat, some vegetable rice, beans or pasta
>>211823579
Never seen this blue plates in my whole life
must be some nigger(northern thing)

>>211825973
top tier lolis Brazil, I am proud of you.

according to leftoids that was a capitalist crime against humanity

That kind of food was what we had in the 90s when I went to school in Sweden. I see all these pictures of school food in Sweden today and I get jealous.

>>211825967
you used to be under ottoman rule for 500 hundred years just like gayreece, efendi is a word prominently used by someone who wants to feign obsequiousness just like egyptian vendors who want to rip you off

>>211820520 (OP)
Here's actual pics from Swedish schools.
Our free lunches kids get everyday.

As someone who was a fat kid, the school lunch was the best time of the day for me.

>>211826116
Yummers

>>211826102
No in Egypt at least we use "basha" from the Turkish pasha. Hey at least it's better than being called a khawaja (foreigner with the connotation of infidel) like Mark Twain was treated by the native Palestinians no?

>>211822490
>>211826065
perfectly good noix de veau with roux based sauce people pay good money for this you people just dont know how to eat

>>211826116
Fish, potatoes and cold sauce will always remain the best meal in school.

>>211826154
we use both pasha and efendi

>>211825113
You haven't heard the best part: parents pay 2/3€ per meal, or nothing if they're poor

I have not attached an image, because currently we do not have school lunches in my country.

>>211822596
Well, it wasn't exactly "free food", it was communal canteen adjacent to the school and the meals were partially paid by the parents and partially subsidized by state. Obviously some part of the budget was diverted and best cut of the ingredients pilfered by canteen staff, so what you finally got on the plate was less than what your parents paid for.

>>211826065
We had this all the way until 2010s. But it was only this bad at primary, secondary, and high school, college canteen was decent quality and multiple-choice. And still reasonably cheap.

>>211820520 (OP)
We usually wouldn't have gotten this many oranges.

>>211820520 (OP)

Mystery meatloaf with potatoes and gravy is a classic.
I used to just jam it all onto a bun.

>>211822596
you guys go home from school at 1pm ...

theres no food in estonian schools
or any food in estonia at all

>>211826116
I wonder when we went from the old "grab a plate, lunch lady will fill it" system to the buffet style?
Born 91 here and we had the buffet from 4th grade and forward (if I remember right).

>>211827274
There's a limited number of potatoes and the people need to drink. The priorities are obvious.

>>211827434
>Skolbuffet introduceras i svenska skolor våren 1987 i Stockholms kommun med stor framgång, skolverkets försök att modernisera skolans lunch hade då gått igenom flera testversioner för motverka den ökande mängden barn som väljer att inte äta under skoltimmar. Det nya systemet visade sig vara mycket populärt både bland elever och lärare och spreds snabbt till resten av landet och är idag standard i svenska skolor

1987. According to Aftonbladets old article.

here's a meal in the military

>>211827434
if this existed in gayreece by the 3rd school hour they trays would be filled with spit cum and turds

>>211827648
Is the intent to make you want to die in war?

>>211821680
ngl, i'd order that even at a restaurant

I can't even remember what schools used to serve when I was at school

>>211822346
Nigga, if that were from the Balkans, it'd just be some shitty logs of meat with some raw onion, no tzatziki, no lettuce, no 'mater, nothin. German Turks perfected the kebab.

>>211821730
>>211824157
Is this ghetto school food or sumpin? I remember the middle school I went to
(in an affluent suburb of a large Texan city) had a cafeteria with several options, including some damn-good tomato pies (abizz), fried chicken, and I think also some cheap-ass "healthy" sandwiches.

yeah France and Korea won

>>211827648
>greece
this is from missolonghi btw one of the main exporters of fish products in greece both sea and freshwater fish( largest lake in greece was 20km away from the barracks) and i was there for 7 months we didnt even have fish once!

At least it's free...

>>211823546
Why don't you get free food when your poor? Damn

>>211828129
You have no idea what you're talking about. You think there are no Turks here? There's Turkish, Lebanese and Greek restaurants all over the place in Bucharest. They have tzatziki, tahini, curry, garlic yoghurt and whatever the fuck sauces you want. There's even cheese kebab for the fat fucks who can't live without having melted cheese on everything. It all depends on which kebab place you pick.

>>211828285
>free
wait until you grow up and earn some salary

>>211820520 (OP)
The cheap plastic plates and glasses are basically mandatory for public schools.
