    Australian kids don’t get food provided by the government or school. Most students bring a sandwich and some fruit. You can order food from the tuck shop which is usually healthy food. We then sit outside on the ground to eat our food.

    I'm South African, in public school we had to bring our own lunch. It's usually just a sandwich with polony and Mayo or a cheese sandwich with lettuce and tomato. As we got older, we would just buy ready to heat pies or fries at the school tuck shop....or just not eat until you get home.

    Greetings from Finland!
    Mashed potatoes and sauce were forgotten on the plate. In addition, Pea soup was usually Thursday's food and with it pancake with jam for dessert (A little different pancake than in America. It was made in the oven. Look at a Swedish Oven Pancake/Finnish Baked Pancake and you will know. It was a legacy from the Swedish era.) For drinks there was optionally milk, mixed juice, water or even homemade beer (It's a factory-made non-alcoholic drink. A bit like ginger beer). Otherwise it looks pretty authentic. The food went on the lists for the month.

    Growing up in Sweden we always had balanced food in school for free. I remember I was a vegetarian my last 4 years of school and they made very good vegetarian food at my school. I remember they had different foods every week day, like fish meals on Monday, chicken on Tuesday etc,I think beef was on Friday. They made everything from scratch both cooking and freshly baked bread and there was also fresh vegetables every day like salad to every meal. And always milk to everyone.

    To be fair, as a French, some schools when you are little you have this kind of food but for high school it's a lot better, my school we had several times a year "world cuisines" where every meal is from a different country for a week, we had shark fins, austrich eggs, kangaroo, and many many more, and off course a lot of the french food and typical stuff (mexican, italian, spanish, german etc.)

    French citizen here ... Pretty sure this video is definitely not accurate at all !! Basically sure, starters like vegetables, could be tomatoes or carrots and some kind of sauce / Then could be pasta or meat and potatoes or fish and vegetables / Then cheese but absolutely NO jam !! (i don't know where they got this idea from !? makes no sense except for some rare exceptions, but not at school) / marzipan ?? That's a delicacy we definitely don't eat on a regular basis and once again, not at school as a dessert. Would be fruits / yogurt or apple sauce or maybe a pastry or a little pie or something. Could be chocolate mousse or that kind of thing. But what they present as a "normal, basic, daily" school lunch is not accurate at all. This is a better definition in case some might wanna know : czcams.com/video/ovO18E-hgew/video.html

      I agree. I worked at different school canteens during the 9 years I lived in France.
      There used to be cheese every day, but jam?? no way. Pasta was very occasional, maybe once every two or three weeks.
      Cherry tomatoes, raddish and other veggies were the normal starters. And dessert was either sweet, a yogurth and sometimes a cookie.
      This video seems completely innacurate.

    In Portugal, (when I was still in school and that was like 10 years ago) the students have to pay for the lunch in normal public schools. The price varies depending on the income of their parents: if your parents are rich or at least medium-high class, you pay full price; if your parents are medium-low class, you pay less (i think it's half the price but don't quote me on that); and your parents are lower class, you don't have to pay. And the meal depends on the region but it's always a bowl of soup, the main dish which is usually a typical portuguese dish like Bacalhau à Gomes de Så (a codfish casserole), RojÔes à Minhota (a fried pork dish), etc, and fruit (it depends on the season but there are always a few options like apples, oranges, pears).
    It's a bit different in some schools. For example, one of the schools I went to was what we call here Escola Profissional (Professional School: a school where you choose a course generally in the field of the arts like graphic design, fashion design, culinary, etc, and, at the end of the 3-year course, you get qualifications for that field of work (not as many as if you went to University but you can still work on that field), the schedule is the same as a work day from 9am to 6pm, you get taught by professionals of the field you chose and it counts as your high school diploma). In that school, the lunch was free and it was actually made by cookers of a popular catering service in my area so we basically had the same things (with additional choices of dessert like a mousse or a piece of cake) but it was restaurant quality. But the thing that's really different is that, each class would be handed a sheet with next week's meals and we had to choose between meat, fish or vegetarian what we would be eating the following week. The meals were numbered and each day, at a certain time in the morning, the class president would go get the meal tickets and deliver them to their classmates. If one didn't show up to classes, the class president would return the ticket to the secretary's office and the staff would be responsible for contacting either the student or the guardian/parent of the missing person. Sometimes you could exchange the meal ticket if you wanted to change what you wanted to eat that day but that's another story.

    Finland got quite bizzarre one for this video, doesnt look like a regular finnish lunch in schools. Usually one has multiple choice for bread, there's vege-option, and salad also is included to every meal. Also one can drink water or milk etc.. There's lots of variety in lunches. In video you saw fancy pea soup with ham. "pea soup" is quite traditional finnish food, but it looks like that only in some fancy restaurant :D :D
    But yeah, its free for all kids and there's always everything what young kid needs (in healthy way). Greetings from Finland :)

    The Australian one is about 10% right. I don't even think they are sausage rolls, look more like Puffy Dogs. The sausage rolls I used to get you could break a window with. Now Primary School teachers are pretty much also lunch box investigators. They will send a note back with the child saying they have an un-healthy food item in their lunch. My Grade 2 Niece was sent back with one, a healthy lunch box full of fruit, olives etc and a jam sandwich. She's a picky eater. Anyhow the jam sandwich was deemed unhealthy due to the sugar content of jam. I think it's across the board that peanut butter and nutella etc are banned. It's because they understand kids share their lunches with their peers and some kids have or develop allergies, or potentially anaphylaxis, which is a smart move i think.

    from trinidad here
    we have this thing called “box lunch” cause it’s literally in boxes. it’s free to students and paid for by the government. breakfast and lunch are provided with breakfast usually being dropped off at 7:00-7:30 and lunch 11-12:30 depending on the lunch hours of the school. for breakfast you’d get like a pie, bake and salt fish, sweet bread
stuff like that and a fruit. for lunch you’d get roti, pizza, imitation chinese food😂, marconi pie and rice or pelau just to name a few. they also came w a juice/water. additionally schools have cafes that sell their own food so if you didn’t like what they brought in the box lunch you can buy something from the cafe like lasagna, jamaican patty and more

    Greetings from Finland!
    That wasnÂŽt very good presentation of Finnish school lunch. Sure we had peasoup once in month like in this video, but we had very large variety of different kinds of meals. Mostly incredients comes from near by farmers as much as possible. Everything is made in big school kitchens from scratch basicly and bigger schools have own cooks and they also make food of the smaller schools at the are.
    These days every week includes twice some kind of soup, one day is vegetarian food and one day is fish in some form. There is always some kind of sallad or/and veggies, bread and milk with the food. In most schools childrens makes them own portions like they would be in a buffet and takes as much as they eat.
    When i was in school (1987-1998) my favourites were meatballs with brown gravy and potatoes and of course fish sticks were somthing that all the kids loved.
    But the point is that we had very good food in general and i loved school food. Only thing that bothered me was the lack of spices. I love spiced food but i unterstand that not everybody could eat like me so some dishes were kind of blend for my taste.

  • @joandsarah77
    @joandsarah77 Pƙed rokem +1

    So here in Australia you either bring your lunch in a lunch box and that is likely to contain a sandwich, possibly a Vegemite Sandwich, a piece of fruit, a muesli bar and a drink. If buying from the "Tuck Shop" they can have quite an array of choices from healthy to not so healthy as you saw. But to say the average lunch is 2 sausage rolls and a few Tim Tams is a bit misleading. If you google "school tuck shop menu" you will find all kinds of food from the sausage rolls to Hamburgers, chicken Burgers, veggie Burgers, pizza, sushi, sandwiches, fruit, eggs, muffins, banana bread, all kinds of things. The one I am looking at 'Fernygrove state school" (State school = public school) doesn't even mention Tim Tams on their menu.
    Just adding there is morning tea which use to be called 'little lunch' when I was a kid, not sure if its still called that. That was when kids tended to eat their muesli bar or raisins or something small. Then lunch was called 'big lunch' and that would be when you have your sandwich or whatever else you were having. Some might even bring soup in a flask

    In the Philippines, during my elementary days, we used to go home for lunch and expected to be back at school before 1pm. But, since I started junior high school, we bring our own lunch to school and eat in the classroom, meaning our parents or grandparents or guardians wake up early in the morning to cook our lunch. Some students will cook their own lunch because they are trained to be that independent. But we also have canteens where students and teachers can buy almost anything, mostly snacks.

    I was at school in the 1970s/1980s in the UK. It was quite common for children to go home for lunch, particularly at primary school. But most mothers were at home. Primary school dinners you had no choice, so if you were vegetarian you were stuffed. It was always some form of meat, with potatoes and veg with a pudding afterwards.

A classic dessert would be a flavored yogurt or a chocolate or caramel cream or something pudding like, or just fresh fruit. And there's no jam to be had with the cheese. It's cheese and bread, period. The first course can be salad or soup, but yeah, legally the meals have to be balanced out now, and locally sourced as much as possible.
