do you have school lunch at school? i mean real meal , not a fast food or one dish! we have kuushoku ,means school lunch in japan and trust me it is super delicious! and also it is very healthy ! they also decide and care the calorie of it! it is awesome. till i came hereto have never tried it so i also haven't had school lunch in my country so i feel super happy.. btw it is just 2.5$ (can you believe it ? ) how about in your country ? do you have a special school lunch ? how much you should pay? is it delicious?

School kids are given meals in school here. However, it's not as delicious as it sounds in Japan LOL I'm talking about state schools and here those are free, as are the meals.

@KityCat i think indian curry is yummy. i just can't believe why indians eat it everyday.. this must be a culture.. i think hamburgers are not healthy but they are also yummy..

It's been a long time since I went to school but there were school lunches then. I'm not sure how healthy they were but they were often mocked. Having seen some things that are served now, though, our school meals were probably relatively healthy. Nowadays, it depends on the school and the local authority. Most schools have the option of free school meals for people on very low incomes but I don't know what the cost is for those who have to pay. I've seen some healthy meals when I worked in nurseries. They were usually one set meal (sometimes, there was an option but that would have to be chosen beforehand) and a choice of fruit snack.

Dish looks delicious with pav (bread) similar to our breakfast dish not a full lunch or dinner. We call it Pav bhaji. but it is not accompanied by other dishes as that of yours.

It was a very long time ago when I went to school but in grade school, I lived very close to home and went home for lunch and then I changed schools and I brought lunch with me to school

Cool. Where in Japan do you live? I have studied Japanese a little bit although it is NOT good at all. I am out of school, and so I make my own lunches for when I am at my full time job. How old are you?
