School Lunches Around the World | UK

This feels romanticised, there isn’t enough grey in the meal for it to be a Great British school catered meal to nourish the mind and soul of the next generation.

Fish fingers & peas WITH a jacket spud and beans? My brother in Christ, we had one or the other. No one got both

As a fellow Brit, if you were served all that for school dinner, you were at a private school.
My comp school dinner was plainly cooked sliced meat, piece of bread/boiled potato and a boiled veg, sometimes a bland, protein free curry, and soggy fish and chips on a Friday.
Followed by a square of plain cake and/or a ladle of wobbly custard.

As a British " Person " this is the highest quality meal ive seen in years are you sure this is a British School Lunch?

I’ll never forgive Jamie Oliver for what he did to school dinners

[itss.avianaa]

School lunches at my school consist of
-fried chicken tenders
-burnt quesadilla (🤢)
-mozzarella sticks
-pizza
-soupy Mac and cheese
-watery chocolate or regular milk
-fruit juice
-packaged apples (taste like alcohol)
and then you can buy some cheap ice cream, chips, or fruit roll ups for a higher price than it should be!

I’m British and this looks better than actual schools food

[AS-]

U forgot the part where we have to pick out the least dirty cutlery we can find😂

[RayaAllen]

As someone from England, if that was my school meal I would be so happy. Ours is more grey and dull and flavourless, not to mention undercooked.

[Monty_.]

This is too good to be a British school lunch 😢

School dinners were fantastic growing up in the 80s and 90s. Before they started outsourcing to cut costs it was pies, curries, quiches, tarts, proper hoemmade stuff instead of the Americanised junk that replaced them and put jamie oliver on a mission to make lunches healthier.

[matthewsmedley]

[tingleteam]

Those fruit things for desert that nobody could open is so british 💀

[noroultra]

nah, 1 fish finger and 10 chips is considered the "legal maximum serving" 😭
edit: why do i have over 800 likes

[BooksandBuns]

Don't forget the lil cups of ice cream with the wooden spoons that had more taste than the actual ice cream

[veronicataft]

Madness!!! Love the fact you use good quality ingredients, and British as often as not

[Charlie_can_animate]

As a brit I can say the best we get is a bagel or a dry sandwich with grated cheese and maybe a water for about £7.96

[ImAqtie]

oml spot on except my school has their houses named after planets and our meat had a suspicious shine too it, the beans squished like stepped-in shit and we had our special Friday fish fingers with like..4 chips..

What you said about the school names couldn't be more true 🤣🤣 my partner went to Our Lady of the Wayside Catholic Primary School, there were a few like that around
