School Lunch - 学校給食 - Friday

I love lunch days when bread is served. The bakery that supplies the baked goods for Haebaru Town's Lunch Center makes really good bread. Today will probably my favourite lunch for the entire month of January.

Comments: Yumm! I loaded the bun with the veggies, tartar sauce, and fish filet. It was a super sandwich for sure! Haebaru Town is famous for it's pumpkin harvest every year. The soup was the perfect creamy consistency and filled with chicken, onion and parsley.

That's it for this weeks kyushoku blog postings. I hope you enjoyed seeing a small glimpse of the variety of foods served in the Japanese School Lunch Program.

ごちそさまでした

  1. Super interesting blog this week! Brings back some memories. Love the very cute dishes that the food is served in. They actually look like they're reusable! Not disposable! One question...never ever any desert other than banana?

  2. That's right! The dishes are all reusable and kind of "cute" I guess :) Sometimes there is dessert, other times there is not. I guess it depends on how many calories were in the meals and how much they cost to make. But we often have Oranges, Jelly, Yogurt, Cake (for Christmas), Puddings, Muffins, Raisins, Nuts mixed with Dried Fish, whatever :)

  4. No Jokes. Nuts and dried fish is very high in Iron and Protein and who knows what else. I always end up trading it though....
