European here...

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to think — did you share this just to show handmade food, or is it also healthy food?

1 April seemed a good start, "Oven Fried Chicken Leg", but then I searched for what it meant. It's chicken in breadcrumbs rolled in oil! Are the potatoes and cucumber slices the vegetables that accompany it?

The following day has "Orange Chicken", so chicken covered in a sugary sauce.

"Pork Carnitas Tacos" sounds good. But then "Churro"?!

"Philly Flatbread" — essentially pizza, which is an option every day anyway.

Followed by "Chicken Nachos with cheese sauce" (10 April), "Popcorn Chicken Bowl" (22nd), etc.

Full credit to them if they're preparing it all from scratch, and most of it I'd be pleased to try if I visit the USA, but it's a lot of fried or high-fat food to be serving every day at school.

Here's the menu for many schools in Copenhagen: https://eat.kk.dk/ugens-menu (or https://eat-kk-dk.translate.goog/ugens-menu?_x_tr_sl=da&_x_t... )

The obvious difference is there's no daily pizza/hot dogs/burger options, but looking at each week I suspect they're limited to one fried dish per week or two fried sides.

It seems the food is partially prepared in a large kitchen, and then sent to the schools for "final preparation" and serving.

("Pork and roe deer meatloaf", "pheasant stew with bacon", "sushi bowl with baked salmon", they have better food than my work canteen.)
