Think school lunch is just nuggets and fries? Not in France! 🇫🇷🥖 French students don’t just “eat”—they have a full gastronomic experience. In France, lunchtime is considered a vital part of the education system. Here is the secret behind the world’s fanciest cafeteria.
The Story: Why and How?
Food as Education: The French government treats lunch like a class. Students are taught to appreciate flavors, use proper table manners, and enjoy their meals slowly (usually for at least an hour!). 🧠🍴
The 3-Course Rule: A typical meal includes a starter (like a fresh salad), a main course (protein and veggies), a cheese course (Brie or Camembert), and a dessert (fruit or a small tart). 🥗🥩🧀
No Junk Allowed: Since 2005, vending machines have been banned in all French schools to prevent obesity. Soda is replaced by pure water, and meals are made with fresh, often local, ingredients. 🚫🥤💧
Real Dining: Forget plastic trays! French kids eat on ceramic plates with metal cutlery and cloth napkins. It’s basically a mini-restaurant inside the school. 🍽️✨
