School luch?!
Answers: Why is it that the most nasty luch is the school lunch? I mean, I hear it all the time and then I also think that its nasty!
I don't know but I agree. School lunches are very nasty!
they have to maintain a level of health
low salt + low fat = low flavor
school lunches have always been what they call nutritious and i really think they are not that bad if you look at it from the long run
It is mainly rubbish, as the schools have a tight budget and they need to get as much food as possible with the funds available.
It is the super quantity cookery! they do everything by formula, no cooks creativity allowed.
No salt, no most other spices and herbs, just food. And since they have decided any fat is not good for anyone, everything is prepared with out any of that stuff which makes most foods without it nasty.
Very small school systems serving less than 100 meals per day can be much more creative.
This is also why hospital and other institutional foods are so nasty and tasteless. Fats and a bit of salt make a world of difference in the flavor of foods.
These people have to produce a lot of food that has to be ready all at one time. if you have never worked in a kitchen this is hard to do on the budget they are given. Give those lunch Lady's some respect it is not like they are given enough money to serve the kids steak and lobster every day!
