>>22156914We didn't have trays back in my days. The food looked more like real food though.
>>22156914>"This is REAL school lunches from [not America']">it's either a $60 restaurant dish or that country's equivalent of a Happy MealIt's incredible how bullshit they are
>>22156914High Schools in the USA do a la carte stuff. You get certain choices with the card system, but if you have cash, you can just buy 40 servings of fries.Salad, pizza, hot dogs, burgers, fried chicken, etc are the regulars; then they do like one special a day.
Canada. We don't provide school lunches. If your parents don't love you, you simply starve at school like they starve you at home.
>>22157105In burgerland even our homeless are fat.
The US has over 20,000 high schools and several times more lower level schools that feed into the 20k high schools. Most schools participate in the USDA school lunch program, which sets certain nutritional guidelines school lunches must meet to be subsidized by the federal government. Outside of meeting those minimum standards, schools are mostly free to serve whatever they want, though individual state governments sometimes have additional rules the schools must follow. Some of the better private schools opt out of the USDA program and have their own nutritionists calling the shots, but a surprisingly large percentage of even the expensive private schools can't resist the lure of free money, so they go by the USDA guidelines too. That's not necessarily terrible when the school and/or families are willing to add their own money to the pile. The main problem with the USDA guidelines is that they're carb heavy and the cheapest carbs tend to be quite terrible processed garbage. Schools trying to get by with just USDA funds end up providing terrible shit. A good cook can plan out quality meals that meet the guidelines but that requires parents or the school to supplement the money available for meals. Most schools do not have good cooks or nutritionists, not do they have much money to spend on meals beyond the USDA funds. That's why you see photos of terrible trash so often. It's also why the Michelle Obama program, even with the extra funds it provided, caused so much trouble since the locals were already accustomed to certain trash sources and couldn't adapt to the new guidelines very well. All of this can be avoided by parents who send their children to school with home prepped lunches.
>>22156914This is the average lunch in PR, except once a week they make something lazy because they have to make inventory checks and write down the menu for the next week, so they prepare either hotdogs with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut, or ravioli with soda crackers. The daily fruit might be canned, or it might be fresh depending on the day. The juice in some schools comes in cartoons, but for mine it came in bags, it was either apple, pineapple, grape or fruit punch flavored. The milk always came in bags, unless you were among the few that wanted whole milk, in which case you had to grab a gallon and pour yourself a glass of it. For everyone else we drank milk that comes in bags, and depending on your school's food distributors you had chocolate milk, strawberry milk, vanilla milk, and recently banana milk. There are two major dairy corporations which supply schools, Suiza Dairy and Tres Monjitas, I prefer Suiza Dairy. My least favorite menu was either the pre-made meatloaf cooked in a stew sauce, or sancocho stew (Stew made with tubers and pork)

>>22157121>All of this can be avoided by parents who send their children to school with home prepped lunches.Oh hohoho, but that is where you are wrong.>But I won't send my child to school with a LunchableBut another parent will. And every kid at that lunch table is looking at who has the Lunchable, and how soon they can get their parents to buy it.
>>22157064You're retarded. >>22156914Home country, normal food like fried veal cutlets, risotto, tomato salad one day and saffroned rice, tomato beef stew with carrots and peas, green salad the next. Normal shit.America, I don't know what state schools feed children. I went to a private school and every time I post menus, you cunts get upset or claim I'm lying. The last post I made about what my school has was February 26th 2025: My highschool alma mater's lunch menu for today [February 26th 2025]:• Italian Wedding• Penne with Alfredo Sauce (V)• Chipotle Spiced Tofu (Vg) OR Chipotle Chicken Bowl; Served with Rice, Beans, Corn & Toppings• BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich• Spinach, Bacon, & Ranch Pizza• Teriyaki Steak Salad (GF)• Roast Beef with Cheddar, Onions, & Horseradish; Avocado Egg Salad on 12 Grain Bread (V)AVOIDING GLUTENChipotle Chicken Bowl Served with Rice & Beans (GF)And tomorrow:• Tomato Basil (GF, V)• Pasta & Broccoli with Garlic Oil (V)• Meatloaf with Demi-Glace, Served with Garlic Mashed Potatoes & Roasted Carrots• Chicken Cheesesteak• Four Cheese & Tomato Pizza (V)• Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato, & Basil Salad (GF, V)• Turkey BLTC Wrap; Balsamic Portobello Sandwich (Vg)AVOIDING GLUTENGluten Free Chicken Tenders over Gluten Free Waffle (GF)There's also breakfast. Today's:WAKIN' UPBacon, Egg, & Cheese Sliders; Oatmeal (V)Tomorrow's:WAKIN' UPPotato & Cheese Frittata (V); Old Fashioned Grits (V)Kids used to go Donkey Kong apeshit over sushi days but I never liked it.Besides those offerings, there's also a permanent salad bar, the "quick pick" (where you could grab a piece of fruit, a bottled drink and 7-Eleven-tier wrapped sandwiches) and the deli line offers made to order subs besides the specialty sandwiches I posted here (Turkey BLTC Wrap; Balsamic Portobello Sandwich (Vg) and Roast Beef with Cheddar, Onions, & Horseradish; Avocado Egg Salad on 12 Grain Bread (V)). I usually went to the deli line.
there's a finnish guy who posts his prison meals on /bant/, honestly it's pretty comparable to school lunches and besides some trashy ingredients like fruit jello and franks, it sounds decent.https://archived.moe/bant/search/text/prison%20meals/type/op/
>>22156914No wonder they won the war…..
>>22156914I haven't been in school for over 20 years, but we don't really have these in australia (there might be the weird exception, I don't know). Mum either packed lunch or you bought something from the canteen.
>>22159378that dimmie is fucked up
>>22157105thismy parents both worked so i made my own lunches. one big moment was getting a pt job in school so i could afford to buy hot grilled cheese sandwiches from the cafeteria at lunch.
>>22158000>I'll buy whatever the children at my kid's school tells me to buy.You sound weak.
>>22157964Looks tasty
>>22158000When I was school aged in America, I saw Lunchables maybe twice my entire time there and felt badly for the kid who had it. I'm eating mushroom risotto, friarielli and a proper, peppery pork sausage and this sap is eating pasteurised, processed ham-alike discs on unbranded crackers.Was envious of his Capri Sun, ngl. My parents stopped buying those ages before then. : /
>>22159472>I'm eating mushroom risottowow reheated risotto, what a treat...
>>22157986Assuming thats really what youre eating there and it isn't just a shitpost, seems like a school for the uber rich, and soon to be uber fat considering theres two elaborate desserts available as an option
It's weird to see those trays, to me they remind me of military or prison.I'm Sweden we eat from plates. Food was some random sloppa and there's a salad bar
>>22159449And you sound gay
in america this was a pretty typical lunch in 2010 when I was in high school. alternatives were pizza, tacos, chili, bosco sticks, soy burger or chicken sandwich. people complain that Michelle Obama ruined school lunches but she basically had no effect on my school being a sysco front. they also had a la carte stuff but I was too poor to afford it and my normal lunch was free.
>>22159538Not the guy you're replying to, but ->international schoolYeah, that's kinda self-explanatory
>>22159526>t. pansy-ass faggotReheated risotto is perfectly fine if you're not a pansy-ass faggot, you pansy-ass faggot. Enjoy your pasteurised, processed ham-alike discs, kiddo.
>>22156914I thought vietnam had a firewall like china. So how did you post this? I'm reporting you to the commies.
>>22158000Corposlop botI remember the pizza lunchables were absolute crap. The turkey or ham and cheese were ok but i always preferred my sandwiches that my parents would make. Or if we had leftover pasta with meat sauce, that was the best
>>22158000Lunchables were literally created by the tobacco industry to hook young children on cheap, mass produced slop and create adults who will continue to buy said slop using the exact same strategies they used to get teenagers hooked on cigarettes.
>>22159547In america it is prison food they are the same companies.
>>22159910You're very good at being vague. Schools and prisons both use "commodity" foods produced by companies that have been certified to produce it. Yes, they could be the same companies/facilities producing the food, but the nutritional guidelines are different, and the foods themselves are generally different. They could have some crossover, but in general, not like what you're implying.2/10 made me respond
>>22159912>THEY'RE MADE BY THE SAME CORPORATE OVERLORDS AND THEY'RE SIMILAR AND THEY'RE BOTH CHEAP GARBAGE CHOSEN BECAUSE IT'S CHEAP GARBAGE BUT STOP IMPLYING THEY'RE THE SAME, OKAY?!?!!?lol
>>22159941
When I was school there were no school lunches. A very typical meal was pic related: slices of bread, butter and sliced sausage or cheese. If you were fancy maybe some sliced cucumbers or cream cheese. And maybe as a side an apple, small tomatoes or some carrotsHowever back then schools weren't daycare centers
>>22156914Behold, the humble boterham
>>22159689>soy burger?
>>22159926>I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE FOOD INDUSTRY IN THE US BUT I CAN USE ALL CAPS BECAUSE I'M COOL, SO LAUGH, OKAY? lol back at you, fren
>>22160107Nta but you’re just being obtuse. The quality is shit, and one would expect that from a company making prison foods. “Nutritional standards” are different - cool, they pack less sodium into their chicken fingers or some shit? What is the sense in defending it when it’s objectively shit tier food being provided because America chooses profit over quality at every turn?
>>22156914>school lunchesI ate at home or friend's homes for lunch. Only a handful of poors ate at school.
>>22160127Now she's going to say that you are me and we are >>22159910You might be >>22159910, idfk, but I'm >>22159926 and she's retarded. Seeing the shit served to public school proles makes it obvious that there ain't shit to defend. >>22159778Phillip Morris owned Oscar Mayer at the time so that makes sense.
>>22160127Dude is being vague on purpose to look edgy. He doesn't know how food plants work, all he knows is that the same plant makes food for two different companies, and he's implying that it's the same food. It's not. One plant might make items for dozens of different entities, all with different recipes, different ingredients, most of them proprietary... The same plant that makes prison food might be a plant that makes burger patties for Burger King, and next week they might be making commodity school meatloaf. The plant literally just produces what the recipe they're using says. To say what he's saying is ignorant at best. And all he's got is ad hominem.>>22160172I accept your concession.
>>22160102veggie burger
>>22157105Damn. Sometimes school lunches were the only meal I got.
>>22156914Damn, couldn't even get the same egg for both sides.
>>22160184The only concessions you'll get are an extra large popcorn with extra butter, chub-chub-chubbo. The fact is, you're defending garbage like the pizza-is-a vegetable cattle you are.
>>22160212It's funny how far Americans will go to defend their disgusting garbage made-on-a-conveyor-belt "food".
>>22157986They let children drink wine in hungary?
>>22160212he's right though you can make any recipe of burger on a patty machine or a chub maker. it's literally just a machine that forms burgers or packages meat. the machines are sterilized every night by basically boiling water fire hoses. so no there isn't cross contamination.
>>22162036What the fuck does that have to do with anything, you only semi-sentient sack of suck? Fucking retard.
>>22160184NTA but as an outsider, I have to pick out a major flaw with your language that is a pretty big oversight in the argument that schoolkids *aren't* being served prison food.The RECIPES are different, the actual ingredients used for each recipe all comes from the same place.So even despite the fact that the end product is different, it still remains true that the actual quality of each product remains largely on par with one another....Hence the assertion that schoolkids are being served prison food. Yes, it's not true in the literal sense but as far as the quality of ingredient and processes involved are concerned, it's functionally the same.There, argument over.
>>22164166Where do you get your food from that doesn't originate from a farm like the food psychopaths eat also comes from? You're literally eating the same food as psychopaths. Why do you do this? Are you insane?
>>22164241Here are two meals from the same plant. Which is the prison meal and which is the school lunch meal?
>>22164270Bottom is school. Top has coffee. Schools don't serve coffee to children.
this is a typical lunch in my country of venezuela, miércoles was always surfo y turfo
>>22164276mine did actually
