Southern fried chicken comes from Scotland and WAfrica. And the EAsians have done heroic work in fried poultry tech. But the idea of shredding an animal with industrial machines and recombining it all with meat glue and fillers into appetizing dinosaur shapes, rolling it in breadcrumbs and frying it golden brown and crispy is 10,000% American and you can't deny it.
So does this include fish and chips? Is that an actual school meal in the UK? We definitely got a version of it in USA schools, although it would probably be blasphemous to any person from the UK.
we said the chicken nuggets were "beak to claw"... So the fish were fin to flipper? gill to dorsal? I'm not sure which, but they were gross. (LOTS of bits you couldn't quite identify, in a "stick").
I left school over 20 years ago but I don't remember ever having things like nuggets or fish and chips (chips yes, but not fried fish). Couldn't even get a pizza, that usually come from home. Lol. Have school dinners got worse?
The worst things I remember are stuff like pastries and iced buns you could get at break time.

Just more blatant anti-Americanism from our so called allies.

I'm glad to see that's just cake/pudding, I thought you were steaming sea sponges...

Don’t be silly. It’s bath sponges.

Where do you think bath sponges come from?

The plastic ocean.

I would not put this past some kitchens. In fact, they could be steaming cleaning sponges for the same consistency and flavour.

Why? Was it cooked properly?

You don't really want to know the detailed answer to this question.

This will be devastating for most school cafeterias. How dare they forbid everything on the menu just for being unhealthy!
In the end, some of the employees might have to learn to actually cook food like a ... cook?
