Australian kids donât 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.
When I went to High School in the 90's one of our favourite foods for lunch from the Tuck Shop was a Ham And Salad Roll.
The schools in Australia don't offer free meals to poor kids? Just curious!
@@maryreilly5092 no. Iâve heard of one or two schools that do but they are a rarity.
@@jencooper3371 Thanks!
@@maryreilly5092 Aussie families can afford to feed their children even the ones on social security. Kids will share anyway if someone forgets their lunch. Well this has been my experience
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.
all South African schools in Rural areas get food from school provided by the government. In Cities most schools don't provide meals, you have to bring your own or buy from the school tuckshop
I also had bologna *baloney* sandwiches with mayo from home, many, many times for lunch at school. Brought in a plain brown paper bag with a piece of fruit. We were poor but happy with what we had! Not everyone in the United States grows up in the middle class or better!
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.
Hi from Germany :D I just googled swedish pancake because of your comment :D
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.
SWEDEN ROCKS! You all do a very good job for your students lunches.
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.
@@Leweline they got Australia completely wrong too.
As Italian i agree!
Pasta is mandatory ... if not at school for sure at home everyday ...lol (joking) đ
@@codadivolpe No you are not lol !! You are being very serious, just admit itđ. My mom is half French half Italian actually. I spent my entire childhood eating pasta at least 3 or 4 times a week. And i won't complain ! Pasta is life. And cheese too.

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.
PS: sorry for the long comment đ
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 Netherlands didn't gave school lunches provided for students, I had a lunch box. Kids living nearby would go home. Cheese and bread with some slices of cucumber or tomato was staple. I would make them myself from the time I was 9 most of the time.
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.
In the 60s we had weenie wraps, square pizza, sandwiches, fruit and milk
from trinidad here
we have this thing called âbox lunchâ cause itâs literally in boxes. itâs 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 youâd get like a pie, bake and salt fish, sweet breadâŠstuff like that and a fruit. for lunch youâd get roti, pizza, imitation chinese foodđ, 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 didnât 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.
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
Im from Oklahoma and we never had tomato soup and grilled cheese lol (not at school anyways, that was a lunch I had at home when I cooked for myself). At school it was usually a burger and tater tots, or square shaped pizza, or even chili and a cinnamon roll during the winter.
I am Belgian , and i used to bring sandwishes from home. Cuz all these school meals were NOT complementary. and i had diner when i got home from school like most kids.
I'm from South Africa and looking at these lunches , kids at some places are eating nice food . We get food that the government think it's healthy and nice . They don't consider our allergies . Since primary school till highschool I've been eating the same meals . It's not nice but we have no choice but to eat it.
The UK jacket potato beans fish n fingers is from chefs selection which has chicken curry n rice pasta pizza n other world foods there's also the sandwichs option from the healthy selection đ„
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.
The Aussie one is bullshit. Schools don't provide lunches. You bring your own from home and it's usually a sandwich, fruit, drink (juicebox) etc.
Long time ago back in the 70's when I was a kid. We were the last group of kids in U.S. that got to go home from school to eat lunch.
Great to see the comments and the wonderful childhood experiences . I went from bringing my own lunch to another country where food was provided to kids as part of the schoolâs nutrition program. They will check your bag for bad snacks and youâre not allowed to give to other kids in the school đ
in bolivia we also mostly go home to lunch. morning schools ends about 1pm or 12 30 and afternoon schools start 1 30 or so, so you have time to eat before or after depending which one you go to
The govt doesn't provide lunches for kids at school in Australia so I don't know why the video showed a couple of sausage rolls and two tim tams (chocolate buscuits). Parents are responsible for feeding their kids so the kids either bring lunchboxes from home or they're given lunch money to buy their lunch at the school tuckshop/canteen.
What I remember from Jr & HS pizza, mix nut cup with some raisins, those pre package hamburger/cheeseburger with a regular milk/chocolate milk. If you wanted some extra food have money to go to A-la-cart.
when i was a kid, mom would pack lunch like sandwiches. When i changed schools i did have my fair share of hot meals which always included soup of the day, patatoes or mash, veggies and meat and then we'd get dessert like chocolate pudding, or rice cream pudding, sometimes fruits if i remember correctly. Every thursday was frenchfry day with meat or chicken and every friday there was patatoes, veggies and fish. (belgium)
Going to school here in Australia our lunches consisted mostly of sandwiches fruit juice or flavoured milk in summer. Winter we could buy meat pies or sausage rolls of course in todays standard they have added far more variety. Depending on where the schools are etc. I grew up in a small country town we didn't have a 'lunch room' they had a tuck shop or canteen where kids lined up to buy the food or snacks and we sat outside regardless of season
like some said before, we mostly bring, our lunch from home to eat, or we can buy what the canteen is selling, In my primary school days the dearest thing was seven cents. In high school it would cost around ten dollars.
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 lot has changed including children not going home for lunch.
I am from USA, your school lunches were much better than the ones we had in California in the 1970's.
Our school lunches were usually proper meals with meat, potatoes & vegetables. Main meal & dessert. In Primary there used to not be a choice but thatâs changed now. Secondary meals were always cafeteria style with 2 or 3 choices of main meal & dessert. Most students pay for meals but for families on low incomes they are government funded.
Y'all remember how the spaghetti or lasagna never had tomato sauce? It was always meat and cheese flavor...and kinda brown looking bc they didn't use pasta sauce for some reason.
In Denmark we get open faced sandwiches (not white bread) but rye bread with different toppings, itâs still the most ânormalâ thing to eat but I know more children today get leftovers from the supper to eat in school. Itâs not a normal thing to get a dessert but you might get a yoghurt or something sweet like that but no cake, cookies or stuff like that.
We went home for lunch.
Youâre thinking of calzones (w/ the bread and the meat etc)! I heard you I knew exactly what you meant đ they were popular at my school too đđŒ
Edit: Dang they did yâall good in Louisiana for lunch! They did alright here in GA but not gumbo!
Yess! That's it!
đđ In France fish is on Friday at school đ
Grew up in Philly, we had similar school lunches to that, and wing wednesday. some days we had hoagies. Are you talking about a hot pocket in the beginning?
I donât even recognize that finnish meal and iâm finnish.
All I remember is a lot of fish sticks
Only meat is not good for the body. A balanced diet with vegetables, meat and fish is very important. And especially fish has many ingredients that are very important for the body.
nice reaction......target 50k here we come by mid dec......kaboooooooom!!
We did it!!!!!đ
woooohwooohwoooh! nope. No french kid ever would eat marzipan for dessert. It isn't something you even find in France, I've only eaten marzipan in Germany really. 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. A non meat alternative has to be served for every meal.
Hawaii, Pakistan, and American đ
Fish is waaay healthier than meat.
I am in awe with Japanese food preparation and presentation but not very much the food itself which very often has too much sugar an salt for my liking.
Ethiopian food is very healthy , packed with vegetables and good protein for people of African descent. There are not many fat people in Ethiopia, definitely not seen anybody whoâs grossly obese đ
Australian here, yeah, I'm not loving our school lunches. not a guarantee of nutrition.
can you guys pleeeeeease react to geography now south africa pleeease
When I was in primary schos we got peanut butter sandwich and milk. Boring. But that was for kids whose parents couldnt. Otherwise we just brought food from home. Not sure what they feed the kids today I hope it's not peanut butter sandwich and milkđ€ŠđŸââïž
Dis fact is wrong about Nigeria, you have to bring ur own food to school either in private or public school, the government doesn't provide any food
Nah, I didn't grow up in Nigeria , but lots of people talk about school food. Although they say at boarding school, their parents would give provisions.
Not outrightly true! a lot of private provide lunch for their students but, their parents has to sign them up for lunch and also pay for the lunch.
