A FB friend of mine shared a link that gave me an idea.
We talk a lot on here about school lunches and feeding our kids in general. I'm sharing the link (see my SWH) which shows typical Korean school lunches. I like Korean food so they look yummy to me, and they're pretty darn healthy!
So here's my question, which is more of a request, would any of you take a few moments to search and share links to other school lunches from around the world?
I think we'd all get a kick out of seeing what schoolkids in other nations eat on a regular basis :)
TIA!
p.s. please remember this is just for fun, I'm not interested in starting a debate involving world health, economics or politics, thanks.

Oh shoot Nikki, that's too bad! I don't know why (?) it's just a schoolteacher's blog :(
Ladies thank you so much for the fun links! That Scotland blog was great, and OMG I am drooling over the French menus! I also love, love, love bento lunches. The Japanese are so good at making everything so pretty and compact, it makes for a very appetizing meal :)
I clicked the link and my firewall blocked it due to 'adult/mature content'.
A college friend who moves around a lot due to her husband's job is now living in Whales. She sent her son to school with a pbj and they thought it was weird. :) She also mentioned a school function in which she brought chocolate chip cookies. She looked around and there were all of these tiny sandwiches, pastries, etc. and no one touched her cookies. She went home and decided she must do more research on the eating habits of the Welsh.
Yum, yum, yum
I cook a lot of Korean food as it's my family's favorite. It's taken me a lot of time to perfect my dishes, but with the onset of Youtube my abilities took off.
Last night I made a classic Rice Cake Soup with a Bulgogi style beef on top, garnished with seaweed and green onions. Also served with Kimchi.
My kids said it was a 'party in their nose and a party in their mouth.'
http://karenlebillon.com/french-school-lunch-menus/ i hzve a friend in paris right now whose child has a 6 course meal for lunch every day. Plus 2 snacks. They DON'T call them snacks, though. ((Apparently the french sneer at 'snacking'. They have specific names, instead. Um. Guys. Splitting hairs here.))
Where I was a child in japan, we had bentos for lunch. Like these.

If your mum didn't make your bento at home, you had money and picked out one from the train station on the way to school. No lunches were served at school. Either you brought from home, or bought at the station.
Well, in Denmark--sorry no site to post--lunch is a light meal. Usually an open faced sandwich with some type of veggie or meat on the bread. My husband once told me that in Mexico, lunch is a big meal, even in school but the school does not provide it. Kids usually take it or go home for it depending on whether it is rural or city. My husband grew up very rural, all ranches and such.
