This is one of the lunch ladies delivering lunch up to a class room. Inside the basket will be a large pot of rice, a pot of meat (normally pork), fried fish, boiled cabbage (and today some mung beans) and a hot soup. This was a sweet soup with grapes in it - quite nice!.
I would say about 50% of the kids go home for lunch as we get a 2 hour lunch break, but the others who may live further away or whose parents are too busy will tend to eat at the school.
Some days the lunches are good but other days.......well they could be better. Last week I visited a friend who teaches at the local high school. They have two huge cafeterias (one for the teachers and one for the students) and the food is gourmet-like compared to mine. He also has all his meals provided as it is a boarding school. So lucky!

Even if the food isn't that flash, I still love the concept of giving a school lunch to kids. I wish there was a way that it could be cost effective in New Zealand and that it could at least include some hot food etc. Especially in winter!
