I dreamt I was back in school last night and it got me thinking of some of the delicious and also nasty school meals I experienced.
Over here you go to infants/first school after nursery ( kindergarten ) then onto junior/first school then Secondary school. You then either move on to college/Uni or get a job. There are various options within this progression but thats the norm generally.
Back to the food. Until I started Secondary school I'd always have Lunch at school, provided by the school, for a small cost.
My favourites on the savoury side were a sort of cheese and potato bake this usually came with Plum tomatoes and fries.
There was also a type of quiche similar to this. Sometimes their meat pie was quite nice and it always had crumbly pastry, which I like. On the down side their vegetables were always overcooked and vile. I have been permanently put off one or two vegetables by literally having them forced into my mouth when little.
On the sweet side of things their desserts were generally very good. It was thinking of their chocolate sponge with gooey chocolate base and mint custard that got me thinking of the dishes they used to serve. Chocolate rice crispie cakes, little rolls of ice cream, and the variety of different flavoured custards all of which were delicious were my favourites.
In Secondary school lunch was more like having a meal from a cafe crossed with McDonalds. Nothing wrong with that only some of my favourites were no longer available.
Did you enjoy your school meals? I'd be interested to see what variations were available throughout the world.
Hula.
