What did school lunch look like in your country? ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

I recently came across these two photos of lunchboxesโ€”one Korean, one Americanโ€”and it got me thinking about how different school lunches can be depending on where you grow up.

Lunchbox 1: Korean Dosirak
โ€“ Steamed rice with sesame seeds
โ€“ Galbi (Korean marinated short ribs)
โ€“ Rolled omelet
โ€“ Spinach & broccoli
โ€“ Stir-fried julienned potatoes
โ€“ Kimchi
โ†’ Usually homemade, warm, and packed with a lot of care.

Lunchbox 2: American Style
โ€“ Ham sandwich on white bread
โ€“ Layโ€™s chips
โ€“ Chocolate chip cookie
โ€“ Orange juice
โ†’ Fast, cold, and super convenient.

Not saying one is betterโ€”just fascinated by how food reflects culture.
What was your lunchbox like growing up?
