I know I’m tilting at windmills expecting schools to serve good healthy food, but what are things like “Choona Melt” even made out of?
I’m not vegan but eat most meals animal/product free and that’s all generally plants, not “plant-based” ultra processed stuff but actual plants cooked and made to taste good.
>who say the diet offers benefits for both physical and mental health.
Better than the rubbish sold by the school I work at. To say the quality is low is being generous. It’s like knockoff Greggs.
Poor bloody kids, a hard morning of toil then sitting down to eat that shite.
Right, this is touching on something thats been bugging me for ages, so nows the time to talk about it.
I’m a veggie, and make a lovely pie which is 2 packs of veggie mince, a chopped small onion or half large onion, a satchet of instant mash,a small tin of young peas, bisto onion gravy and half a standard block of cheddar (your’e welcome to this tasty recipe).
However, what the fuck do I call this delicacy? I am led to believe that the only difference between shepherds pie and cottage pie is that shepherds is lamb and cottage is beef.
Any advice would be most gratefully received. Otherwise I’m torn between naming it Cottaging Shepherds pie or Cheesy Peasy Pie. Pleas help, this is keeping me awake at night.
I’m glad I grew up in the days of turkey twizzlers and chips
Impressed with the articulate and open minded kids being interviewed about this.
This is a sensible move by this school – the food sounds tasty and healthy, way better than what I ate at school.
And this food I’d better for the environment – so win, win.
Sounds like a good idea, particularly for cash strapped schools. Broadly speaking, vegetables are a lot cheaper than meat products (meat products of any quality and animal welfare standards at least) and so items like a Shepherd’s Pie containing lentils instead of lamb, meat-free meatballs made of Black Bean & Quinoa Balls should be healthy and affordable menu items. Neither is there anything wrong with introducing children to the idea that meat does not need to be the mainstay of their diet and be served at every single meal.
This is wonderful but a case of too little too late I fear.
