(Intro) School lunches you’ve probably never heard about Every country has its standards for school meals. Some schools offer convenience food and snacks for lunch, and some cook set meals for students. What do you think the most popular ingredients of school lunches are? Well, how about octopus, kimchi, or chili?
Are you curious what kids eat in South Korea? What they prefer in Turkey? Some of those lunches are quite unusual. Watch and try to find your childhood meals! South Korea The system of planning school meals in South Korea is one of the best in the world. Lunches are served on special trays. The two biggest sections of the tray are usually for soup and rice. Smaller sections are for salad, seafood, veggies, and fruit. Thin children are given fish oil in a measuring spoon. Traditional dishes are kimchi, sesame leaves stuffed with rice and covered with honey sauce, pumpkin potato soup, pancakes with green onions, pepper, and octopus, and a cucumber and carrot salad.
Sounds like high cuisine! Japan Japanese school lunches are almost the same as South Korean ones. Hot soup, rice, poultry or fish, salad, and milk. Students are not allowed to bring their food with them until they reach high school.
There are no vending machines in the canteens, and what is even more surprising: Students don’t eat in the canteen! They put on special white coats, take their lunches to their classrooms, and eat there. Turkey It’s interesting that, though children in Turkey have one hour for lunch, cafeterias are rare in this country. So, students either go home for lunch, (which might be hard to do if you live on the other side of town), or take food from home. A typical meal may include rye bread, walnuts, grapes, apple, pomegranate, and kefir.

Only then do they start to eat. France A typical lunch served in the west of France looks very healthy. It is fish, spinach, potatoes, cheese, and bread.
