School Lunches Around the World | Spain

I like how he always says it COULD, to emphasize that not every lunch is the same ❤

[xJuantxu]

As a Spaniard myself, I wholeheartedly agree in all (But it's a normal rice plate, rarely it is paella)

I’m Spanish and even if it’s not 100% accurate, this looks delicious and doesn’t differ much from Spanish school lunches. At my school we usually had soup (chicken, vegetables or beans), pasta or rice as a first course. The second course was usually meat or fish with salad on the side, fried stuff was only served or rare occasions. And always fruit as a dessert, sometimes yogurt. Well done!

I’ll never recover from the way he said Paella

[SilverXXIII]

You just gave half of spain a stroke with that paiela 😅

[An-ypgd]

Pie-ella. My fucking soul and about half of Spain just weeped 😭

[marco_]

That "pieella", my valencian grandpa is crying

[franciscoberganza]

Well, as a Spanish person I can say I have never seen any of this food in a school. It looks good and I won't say that it's wrong.

Next one try for Romania-
You don’t even have to cook. We only get milk and bread…

[tsarivenmyfathers]

Something very common is to eat lentils in Spain during school lunch

That spanish omelette and that paella look the worst I have seen in a while. 100% School lunch experience

[marcospr]

Every spanish Will agree with me. This isnt even close to a paella 🥘🥘

[Rocky-sitq]

dude I love the tiny hands just *_stroking_* the egg😂

[Senekasito]

Calling paella to rice with chorizo should be considered a war crime.

[DeadlyGhost]

Ah yes, a lunch at the most expensive private school in Spain. lol

Bro you really did have to make this series. You already know its the US. They literally treated us like prisoners. Like our food in many cases could have been classified as prisoner food. Yet I still ate it.

WARNING, LONG TEXT AHEAD (lol) ⚠️:

I’m Spanish myself, and the things I had the most were rice with tomato sauce, pasta, beans, green beans or fish first, then usually salad for second, and lastly fruit (oranges were pretty common, so well done there) or yogurt. Then we would also have omelette (usually vegetable ones, not the usual and actually good tasting potato ones) and sometimes meatballs, and as good as this sounds, everything was poorly cooked and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAD SALT. And worst of all, there were barely any mashed potatoes. I mean, this is just my experience, but I do believe it is similar to this everywhere in Spain. So, hope this makes you see a more in depth view of what it is like, but I’d say that’s like 77% accurate, to increase it you would’ve had to cook in an oven from Temu. And add no salt so it’s as bland as possible. Also, Ñ

Well, I'll serve as the Spanish Embassy in the comments:
(Somebody else beat me to it, well played)
Firstly, normally we have a mid morning snack on the recess. Personally I know my school had a lunch menu everyday but nobody actually used it.

And about the Tortilla (Spanish Omellete):
It's similiar to a French omelette, the big difference is potatoes. The basics are eggs and potatoes, some people like it with onion some don't.

You start by cutting the potatoes into small disks or triangles, dice an onion and cook them at medium heat in lots of oil until they're soft enough. Take them out of the oil and let them stray the oil. While the potatoes are resting, beat some eggs and mix them in a bowl with the eggs until it is somewhat homogeneous.

Now take a pan (make sure its not extremely flat, the deepness of the pan is important), pour a little oil on the pan, enough to paint the borders and enough to cover the bottom. It is important that you put enough oil on the pan or the omellete will stick to the bottom.

Heat the pan at medium heat, pour the mix and let it cook slowly making sure it doesn't stick to the walls or the bottom of the pan. After a while, take a plate, put it over the pan and flip it, this is done in order to cook the other side of the omellete.

How much time you need to let it cook in the pan before trying the flip may vary, so I would advise doing some testing beforehand.

Love your videos, keep 'em coming!

the way you pronounced paella was rather quaint

"Oh this orange tastes nice what makes it so flavourful?"
"Babies blood"
"Wonderful!"
