Then what british people eat?

@@harmen98 exactly like why don’t more people do that
Speaking as someone who works in schools, your comment about school lunches being better than some low-income home meals is sadly 100% true. Some kids rely on school meals to get anything to eat.
When I was a kid, hearing so many people hate school lunch to the degree that they did was always incredibly confusing to me because my school lunch was regularly better than anything I'd have at home. I LIVED for rib sandwich day, nuggets, mac and cheese, and these delicious blocks of round or square pizza (haven't seen those anywhere outside of school, but they were amazing). School also had the best pudding I've ever tasted, and nothing I've had since has compared.
@@BlueSparxLPs HOLD UP
*RIB* SANDWICH???? THEY SERVED RIBS?!?!?!
@@dylanhatton5178 It was more like "rib-shaped pork patties with sauce" sandwiches, but technically lol.
Never got to experience school lunches until high-school. During my middle school years (grade 3 to 6 when we moved to a new school) we had a thing where on certain Wednesdays, we would give money and put down orders for either pizza slices, or subs. What we would have would rotate each week or so. But that cannot be classified as "school lunch" because the school didn't actually make it. After we transfered to a new school for grades 7 and 8, we didn't have the school provide any food whatsoever. A real shame, because I enjoyed subs and pizza every now and then.
@@Diamand1243 Yeah. I know what you mean. Subs were a good price, but the pizza wasn't really worth it. Sometimes, if there is an extra slice left, you may get lucky if you finish your slices on time and get it. But it was the same with me on the price thing.
Pat brings up an interesting point, they never actually ask the kids what they want to eat, because if they did, then there might be some costly changes. Nothing major, just turning hot dogs from shades of green and pink to the red it's supposed to be when cooked, stuff like that.
Could add some costly vegetarian or vegan options
Might force them to remove PB+J like they obviously should given peanut allergies exists
It’s so where every school I’ve been to has been but free abd im faceit certain it’s a legal requirement
@@jmurray1110 Most American schools have in return for sunbutter, made from sunflower seeds. The hot dogs are still green.
Never had one of those sheet cakes before. For me, the best thing in school lunches is the choccy milk.
Was the chocolate milk real though
Exactly
chocolate milk at my school tastes like how burnt tires smell
I agree but my school removed it from the menu
No way for us, one Tim we poured out the milk AND IT CAME OUT IN CHUNKS
I remember that when one of the lunch ladies had their last day before retirement, the school lunch had like ACTUAL decent sized cake to celebrate
(Honestly idk how she could afford to retire with how badly cafeteria staff get paid…)
“Well, that’s not a really bad thing though, I mean it’s got to be put somewhere, right? Might as well put it in the kids.” - Patterz 2022
I honestly can't even imagine eating cake for lunch.
But I also notice that that in other countries than mine (Norway and Scandinavia in general), lunch seems to be treated more as a full meal.
Growing up lunch for me was a sandwich. I remember once bringing leftover pizza from the night before to my lunch at school, and my teacher told me kindly but sternly that I should probably not have such unhealthy food for lunch ^^'
I thought having sweets for lunch was just an american thing, but I'm surprised to hear they use sweets in British lunches as well.
Oh, and there aren't school lunches here. Packed lunch is the only lunch you're getting XD But I do remember kids schools offering fruits for whoever wanted it. When you start middle school there's usually a kiosk that will sell some food you can buy. Usually once a week they would sell warm meals, but that depended on the school.
So the whole idea of school lunch was something I really only learned about through moves and tv shows growing up XD
And watching this video I'm kinda glad I didn't have it XD
Honestly, being from America, I couldn't imagine getting cake for lunch either when I was in K-12. When there were sweets available for lunch at school (like icecream or Rice Krispy Bars), they were almost always things that you had to pay extra for. The normal school lunch usually consisted of a main dish, two side fruit/vegetables, and a milk carton.
Loved the reaction! I think more food theory reactions could be fun, I feel like you'd enjoy them!
hi, american high schooler here. back when i was in elementary school there was a "joke" that the only thing that was eatable was the chocolate milk, and the food only got worse as the years went on. in my 8th grade year we even had maggots and mold in the school lunch, that day at lunch those who were brave enough were taking bites out of their blocks of milk and others purposely "poured" their "milk" out all over the paths out side that we used to go around campus, so the whole day if you looked down while outside you would just see chunky spilled milk everywhere
For my school lunches the one thing everyone looked forward to was the Christmas dinners with the Yorkshire pudding, gravy, crackers. It was so popular they have to open up more of those folding bench tables.
I mostly brought in stuff for school lunch because most of what was available was unappealing. Though by far the best school lunch stuff was turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy. One of the few lunches I intentionally chose in place of a sandwich.
I had school dinners on and off throughout my time at school and I agree with you the pudding was brilliant chocolate/vanilla crunch toffee frozen yogurt and as you say the tray cake but truth be told we had some good mains too fish and chips and spaghetti Bolognese to name a couple
Fun Fact: Tomato is a fruit, and cucumbers are botanically a fruit as well.
i'm glad i always brought my own lunches. Specifically 2 sandwiches
8 kids have gotten food poisoning at our school. I found glass in my spaghetti and a tissue in my bread roll. The best thing is I had a friend who was deathly allergic to fish and when he got a meat patty from out school he got a serious allergic reaction and got sent to the hospital
The worst item for me was definitely the milk, one time we poured it out AND IT CAME OUT IN CHUNKS
Don't forget the uncrustables that LITERALLY NO ONE EVER GAVE AWAY!
Those iced cake squares were definitely the high point of UK school lunches! Although they usually served cold custard with it when I was at school and ruined it 😂
Yeah, I’d love to see you react to more Food Theory stuff! Maybe their recent tea video?
The Thanks Giving lunch is my fav.
In my school they sold a lot of fried food and baked, empanadas, empanadas chilenas, tequeños, tequeñones, also pizza. But tye empanadas had lots of meats and vegetables in there like ground beef, chicken, blacks beans, pabellon (which is meat, black beans, cheese and plantain) and cheese.
This is why I didn’t care if people called me crazy for refusing to ever eat the school lunch.
0 school lunch we brought our own bread, we made our own lunch!
My middle school was Lucky to have my mom working as a lunch lady, because she was able to make cafeteria food taste good. apparently my mom‘s cooking was so good that the school wanted has permanent primary cook, but the job was getting to rough on her. So she retired.
Let me tell you, I legit _cackled_ when I first heard that Heinz got sued by Osem. To this day, they're still not allowed to call it ketchup- it's labeled as "tomato condiment" here. Osem's own ketchup, by the way, is guaranteed 35% tomato, with the sugar a distant third in the amounts.
My high school was dope. It had a pasta bar they did on a certain day of the week, I think it was Tuesdays, and it was genuinely good. They had marinara and Alfredo sauce on offer, and had sausage, chicken, and tiny shrimp along with vegetables all fried on request as toppings. It was a regular public school, and I have no idea what they did to make that happen, but I'm glad they did.
Our P.E teacher showed us a movie called Fed Up. It’s about school lunches in America and about food brands and what they do with the changes they make with food. And at one part they had 43 cocaine addicted rats and they were given a choice of either cocaine or sugar water and 40 of the 43 rats chose sugar water and apparently sugar is 8 times more addictive than cocaine
The 'times' part is all over the place, numbers changing with each telling, but of course sugar is addictive. Sugar exists in nature to _compel us to eat the sugary things_ because that's where the good nutrients were. Fruits n' such. Sugar is, for all intents and purposes, nature's cocaine. Its natural function is exploited now, of course.
The one lunch our school had was once per month Udon Noodles had a Veggie bar and everything for it. But mostly for every day was Pizza Sticks god those were bangers
As an asian person i can never understand european and western lunches. Because here we had things like bento boxes. Fish ball. Noodles. And these spicy chicken fingers that were just divine
Bro i didn’t really try chocolate milk but my favorite teacher basically force me to pick other things and i got chocolate milk and OMG I LOVE IT, although too bad I’m pretty sure they made it themselves so i can’t find any other chocolate milk that tastes similar to the school chocolate milk.
The lunches in my school kinda sucked it was either something from our “hot line” which was the special food they were serving that day or a sandwich like obj, chicken patty, or a burger. And as a side we just got a fruit that we were forced to take and a tiny carton of milk. Although the kids’ favorite lunch and mine were the stuffed shells
I didn't have Cafeteria in all of my schools, instead we had a mini market that sells chocolate, Chips/crisps, sandwiches, juice, and French fries.
I would personally love to see more food theory reactions.
You should watch the one on whether or not coffee is soup. It goes into how insane American laws can get when it comes to food
When I was in school, we were given no more than 3 ketchup packets for our lunch. I loved the pb&honey mixture that was served with bread.
If we had fruit served, it was those fruit cocktail things or peaches served in that syrup. Half the time we had fried okra or fried pickles too. I didn’t eat that.
Milk was heavily pushed. I grew tired of it fast, especially during golf season. I had milk for lunch before one practice and felt sick all practice. I switched to juice, water or Gatorade after that.
Pizza is nothing without heavy sauce
School lunches have always been bad. Altho my high school lunches were a bit better with their paninis and cold cheese burgers. The most awful lunches I have ever had though were back in kindergarden at the White Bear Lake Elementary school in Minnesota. The food was cold, moldy, and dry. Sure they gave you a cookie but it was always raisen and it was so hard. Throwing it against the wall wont even make it crumble. Every day my mom had to make me a lunch bag to take to school because of how bad it was. Idk if anyone else got sick from the food because it was so long ago but what I do remember is this. One day I forgot my bag at home and because I was hungry I had to eat something. So I ate some fries with smiley faces on them and a cold burger. Not even an hour later I got sick and threw up in the hallway on my way to the nurses office cause I didn't feel good. My friends helped me get there and waiting on my parents to pick me up i threw up on myself again. Once I was home I layed on the couch and threw up on myself again. Im lucky I didn't get food poisoning. My parents tried talking to the principle about it but they said and I quote, "We dont want to spoil them." So much for caring about children huh
In my school, there were foods from different brands, like pizza and ice cream.
I live in Australia, pack your own food or go hungry is how it goes at my school
It’s incredible how many pngs and jpegs MatPat can fit in one video
Our elementary school didn't provide school lunches, though we did have a school store that sold things like chocolate milk. We would however have a pizza day every other friday where they'd bring in actual tray pizzas and for two bucks a person we'd get a couple squares.
We had Italian dunkers which is basically hot dog bun halves with melted cheese sometimes garlic flavor with a marinara dipping sauce
I miss my schools chicken ceasar wraps they'd all be sold out by the beginning of lunch because people left class early to buy them
As a Australian I went to three schools a regular school, special needs school and high school and i think only two of them had school lunches
First one had pizza and 2 min noodles.
Second one I’m not certain if we had because I don’t really remember how I order for food but I remember paying for a hot dog and maybe a finger bun? IDK
Third one I remember had pasta the students cook.
The best school food we had was the peanut butter bars, strawberry fluff, hotdogs, montzerella cheese sticks and the barbeque ribs. Also my school used to have bagged milk but around middle school, they switched to the carton mik.
Luckily in Singapore... School canteen lunches at least have various menu and cuisines to suit others.
We aren't really provided "free" lunches since they have never needed to do so.
I cannot imagine having to eat burgers, Pizza or some kind of slob every single day.
Most parents wouldn't really care to be honest.
The school at least well as the government will never allow that to happen.
Especially since the Teachers and principle usually eat from the canteen as well.
You can very well get a decent breakfast/lunch for around $3 to $5. with or without a drink.
I live in Ireland now, but when I lived in the UK I literally had cornflakes and toast for breakfast everyday.
6:01 Yep, and our carpret overlords 🥲
You got mashed potatoes I got undercooked rice with mystery meat
I was lucky during elementary (or primary school I guess), none of the food there was that bad, there was always something that I could not only stomach, but actually enjoy, especially on Friday when they had this tuna sandwich and the bread was a wheat bread, that was great. Then middle school happened and I've not eaten a school lunch in 5 years, first day I got a chicken sandwich and the breading was green, like Shrek green.
My high school had Pizza or cheesesteaks every other day. But there was always a second option. Twice a month it would be what was essentially a McRib. It was the one time I would get a school lunch
4:35 you can actually see that at least one kid looks to see everyone else is raising their hands before raising his own. Crowd mentality
We for lunch every day get something else but one thing not like a whole lunch and those thing are like bread,more bread,crossiant, bread filled with chocolates and one year our school budget for lunch even got lower less than 50 cents
In Aus, you have to bring your own lunch but the schools usually have a canteen and at my school garlic bread was the greatest thing on the menu
when it came to pack lunches for me in primary I got very lucky and was able to choose what I wanted for lunch. Although I didnt ask for like lobsters and caviar every day, what I did want was these chicken and mayo sandwhiches from a specific store In a another town that I absolutly adored, even though I got kinda grumpy If I didnt get my sandwhiches, which didnt happen too often, I would still get some a decent substitute, either from another store or that my mum made for me.
My High School consisted of turkey twizzlers and fries with the occasional pasta king 😂
Not gonna lie, the “special milk” cue that you talked about reminded me of the little snack break that we would have when we were in kindergarten through fourth grade (I think) where we were given “pães de leite” (I don’t think it has a name in English but it basically translates to “milk breads”) and a chocolate milk. Damn I miss those times, the only bad thing about it was that I had to get the extra sugar off the top of the “bread” because it was far too sweet for me.
I grew up in a slavic country and we just, like... Had normal foods in plates? Sometimes Soup, sometimes pasta, rice, boiled eggs etc.
At least that looks somewhat edible, school lunch in the US is mostly terrible
That was a great southern draw ya did.
I cant eat cake the same way i did in school because every time one of our teams won something major like a county tournament we would get ready for it quote from vice principal “cake for breakfast” or the times where we won state competitions without much competition where we had like half of our team in top 10 for cross country we would have “cake for breakfast” 2 school days in a row
Now our school won constantly(every 1-3 weeks)(except for the times where nothing is going on obviously) so you can tell how tired i got of it
Lets just say i don’t eat cake anymore
@9:23 yeah nothing better then "NUTS" huh patterrz
@18:04 oh you do like it "SAUCY" huh patterrz
your just handing me these on a sliver plate......
The domino's pepperoni pizza. Like, actual pizza in normal slices that you would buy at an actual dominoes
Fa me the best “ thing “ Was this cake with dark chocolate sauce with vanilla
Those cakes were THE BEST
But my favourite were Cheesy Bean Wraps
They were really hot wraps with these AMAZING soft, somehow good tasting beans and melted cheese.
They put tinfoil on them to make em look a bit fancier and they were THE. BEST.
My school food was actually kinda good unlike some other school foods though.
They were only served every 3 weeks on Fridays and FRIDAYS ALWAYS HAD PE RIGHT BEFORE LUNCH. so the dirty sweaty kids would RUN SO FAST to the cafeteria and would always TAKE ALL THE CHEESY BEAN WRAPS but then it would be fine because the school LITERALLY BOUGHT FISH AND CHIPS FROM A FISH AND CHIP SHOP NEARBY.
i swear my school was the best
Honestly despite moving schools every 2-3 years, I don’t think I’ve ever blatantly refused lunch. Sure there were days where I just looked at what was being served and said “Man, really?” but as kids go, they don’t really care that much for school lunch unless they’re just underfed. Then they just find other sources like friends who are nice enough to give them some.
I was that friend btw.
My elementary school had the BEST cheesy breadsticks but when I got to middle school, they started to over cook them and were served burned and since then I refused to eat school lunch in middle school(yes I would wait until I got home)😊
my middle school undercooked the cheesy breadsticks, or at least id like them cooked more
They put so much sugar in ketchup because they use tomatoes that aren't completely ripe.
it is charming that Pat is doing a shoutout for a small youTuber.
dan olson of folding ideas did a great video on the jamie olivers war ob chicken nuggets, showing that its more about jamie being classist and not about being healthy
Came from stream! Honestly, I never had school lunches growing up, I always had a packed lunch so this is very interesting lol.
U didn't have school lunch, did u go to private school?
@@champ7644 Hahaha no, we do have a private school in my home town, but I went to public school. Weird right?
@@pokedi93 nothing weird
one time, my mum made sweet and sour sauce with ketchup that was just the ketchup water
Im my primary school, most of the time we had apple or raspberry crumble as a dessert and that shit was the bomb, although I was always bummed out after wards cause A, they never put enough apple/raspberry in it and B, cause of how little they gave you.
Regurgitate her breakfast pat what?! 🤣
17:59 to 18:01 “did they ask the kids” me be like are you a kid
never had school made lunches
Welcome to American school lunches, where you can probably call it food
There's something huge that you both overlooked. His statement that a 40 oz bottle of ketchup contains 15 servings of vegetables is wrong because tomatoes are a fruit. So the actual answer to the question of can you get two servings of vegetables from ketchup is no.
The best thing at school we got was Mac n cheese the worst Mac n cheese ever
My brother told me that school lunches used to be great before I went to high school. He said they used to serve up cottage pie, steak pie, homemade pasta bakes, ect. When I got into high school, all they served were low cal vegetable soup, salads and flimsy ham sandwiches. Most kids went across the street to buy crisps, chocolate and a coke at the local Farmfoods, the head teacher was so pissed about that. I was looking forward to the school meals, it's all because of that blasted hypocrite Jamie Oliver that school meals were ruined in the UK.
I was lucky enough to be the kind of kid who ate pretty much everything food wise
The best part is of ny school cafe is the cereal it was pretty good
just bring a packed lunch (sandwiches and pack of crisps) EZ 👍
1:23 Max sticks. Literally bread sticks covered in mozzarella, some of the only good stuff in school
In the Netherlands bring your on food maybe buy soup for 5o cents or overpriced candy from the machine
We had your basic cardboard pizza every Friday. I'd trade mine for Milk. Grew to be 6'2
16:50
Bruh, Mayo isn't that bad. *Subjectively
Although as a mayonnaise connoisseur I will say, jugging a whole bottle of Mayonnaise would feel terrible.
But what about eating a whole jar of peanut butter?
Still think it’s wild I made the same lunch everyday before school from 6th grade year to graduation😂
Tomatoes are the most debated food out there. Growing up, it started as a vegetable, then it got changed to being called a fruit because it had seeds, which plants don't have, except some DO have seeds, so other 'veggies' got changed around to being technically 'fruits' but they're still considered vegetables in other ways. These recent years apparently tomatoes have been labeled as BOTH a fruit and vegetable, something that people are still debating to this day. Seriously, just try finding a straight answer on what the difference is and you'll get the headache I got. There just is no consensus, only technicalities and exceptions.
In Poland it's mostly was soup
We don't even have school lunches 😎
This makes me wonder.
Does the USA or the UK have weirder school lunch systems.
(Drinking bottles of new milk or getting pizza from the school)
One time I got a carton of orange juice and it was moldy 😭
American schools: technically meat from the pound is meat... Hmmm....
best thing in my school lunch menu was taco salad
My favorite lunch from school was the "Mexican Pizza" which... Isn't Mexican. And I'm pretty sure it's not actually a pizza either, but boy howdy were they yummy!!
6:11 I think Patterz forgot here that World War 2 wasn't about oil.
And that why I packed lunch..
I had a school hot dog with mold on it…
Food is food
