    As a french, I’ve never made a sandwich this way, also ironically the french’s mustard is what we call American style mustard, you need Dijon mustard which is truly french.
    Also school lunch is generally bad in France, the quality is pretty poor, although, you do get to choose what you eat at the cantine. There’s usually several choices of entrees, cheeses and desserts and something different variations of the main dish ( sometimes you can choose what vegetables you want or if you want fish or meat etc)

      usually it's the mother. It's really common in Japan that when you're getting married, the woman just left the job to be a full-time mom. And if you refuse some men (usually the most "traditional") would think it's because you dont love him or think he's not worth of the family (you think he cant provides enough money). So usually the mother make a lot of side dishes for her kids and husband in the morning. I get it explain by japanese people ^^'

    Raphael, I'm from India and this is the kind of lunch most people(95%) would take to school.
    North india -
    main course :roti/paratha, potato green peas curry, pickle . Snack : maggi/potato chips(lays)/chocolate/biscuits
    South India : main course: rice, daal, egg curry/chicken curry. Snack : rice crackers/potato chips(lays)/chocolate/biscuits
    And coming to drinks we don't take any drinks... Just water... And Mayyyyyyybe sometimes buttermilk.

    It's too bad that you represented France by a weird sandwish, I really never seen anyone prep this or packing macarons ! French self serves a meal with a starter (usualy a salad or pâté), a main dish , one dairy (cheese or yogurt) and a desert. I think you'd find this nice to try

  • @marinamartinho7972
    @marinamartinho7972 3 роки тому +26

    I've been living in France all my life and never seen such a sandwich. In schools we usually get :
    - A starter like salad, paté, a soup or some sort of quiche
    - A main course with usually a carb, a protein and vegetables
    - For desert always a dairy like yogurt or cheese + A sweet desert like fruit, a cake, some tart etc
    - The meal is usually accompanied by a tiny individual baguette (a baguette bun).
    And it's not really a thing to bring your own meal from home when you're a kid, either you would eat the school meal, or you would go home for lunch. (At least it's the case in Paris where I'm from, maybe it's different in small cities)

    Around 30 states and each has different cuisine
    But I can speak for myself, I’m from the state of Maharashtra
    This is what Most of the Maharashtrian kids would get for lunch at school!
    1-2 chapati
    Portion of freshly cooked vegetables in gravy form or dry form with condiments
    Salad- there’s alot of variety but cucumbers and tomatoes topped with lemon and some spices is the most common
    A portion of seasonal fruit for dessert
    Rice and daal ( optional)
    Achaar or papad or namkeen (option)
    I never had rice in tiffin as it made me sleepy!
    This is the basic lunch box which I would get daily
    But 2 days a week my mom would give me something different than the regular!
    So it was like-
    Pasta, noodles, pav bhaaji, dosa, utthappa, paratha, sandwiches, fried rice and much more
    It’s definitely not practical for u rapha! But all Indian moms prepare this in an hour and also go to office/ work after that!

Another option would be pasta in a tomato sauce, sausages, tuna salad, juice, and dessert. At least I was served with that in school.

    I live in Poland and tbh we usually don’t do anything fancy for school lunches. Most people just bring a simple sandwich with butter and tomato/cucumber or ham and cheese. I try to eat something different every day so my lunch usually has some sort of yogurt in it (most of the time vegan or lactose free), simple salad (lettuce, cucumber, chicken breast, corn etc), something sweet (most of the time it’s a fruit but sometimes I will bring a chocolate bar or cookies), a bottle of water and an energy drink cus I tend to fall asleep in class

      Went to the Philippines for my arts degree, lunch was pretty much laissez faire. Now, I went to a top college (De La Salle - CSB) from 2014-2018, so the system is you buy a card or stub for around $20, which usually lasts a week depending on how much you eat. The options for food is so many, there are a variety of viands for filipino, asian, European, and American options you also have different options for deserts, sides, and breads. They also put the calories and macros per serving. Pretty cool. Not sure about other institutions though. If you're wondering about why the food is affordable, keep in mind that the standards of living here os really low. People get paid per day with a minimum wage of $10 per day; not hour. So consequently, consumable goods are priced very low too, unless you only buy imported options, then on that case that would be the same price from ots country of origins + importation tax.

We love sandwiches made of French bread. A real Brazilian lunch served by the school would basically consist of rice, beans, beef/chicken/fish, salad, then juice and a dessert (normally a fruit). Another option would be pasta in a tomato sauce, sausages, tuna salad, juice, and dessert. At least I was served with that in school.
    In Brazil there is basically a funny rule given to schools that a plate of food should have at least 5 different colors. That basically brings a variety in a plate of food.

Its like food court 😂 but everyday is just same food and i remember i eat sambal filled egg bread for the whole 5 years because others are just too bad in taste 😭
    The food and drinks they commonly served in Malaysia are cold beverage like rose drink, orange juice, juice box. They didnt serve hot or warm drink because it's just summer in here. Usually food contains Nasi Lemak, Mee goreng (fried noodle), kuey teow goreng (fried kuey teow), bihun goreng (fried thin noodle), nasi ayam (chicken rice with soup n tomato sambal). While dessert are, curry puff, sardine puff, egg bread, sausage egg bread, chicken nugget, fried chicken, sambal bread, sausage, mini roti john (a long bread filled with baked meat and sauce). These are commonly in Malaysia. N we have to pay any food we wanted to eat.

    As a kid that lived in America my mom packed lunchables for me 🤣 cute that some mom's actually put thought into making meals though.
