The lunches when I was going to school didn't look nowhere near as good. I remember it as crap. I barely ate lunch at the American public school I went to but that seemed about right.

Lol at Honduras.

Having worked at public schools here and endured the 'food', just the sight of the Korean lunch turns my stomach. Japan, France and Italy and Singapore looked much more appealing to me.

Korean lunches are delicious. I used to look forward to eating them. I was almost always satisfied.

At least you guys got school lunches, public schools in South Africa don't even have cafeterias or school lunches (granted, school ends somewhere from 1pm-2pm, depending on the day) - it's bring your own lunch, or buy food from the 'tuck shop', which amounts to cheap pies and sausage rolls usually.

From my perspective it all looked pretty good, except Italy and Ghana. Big plates of diabetes. Well, OK, I don't like pasta or plain rice. Kenya (avocados) and Djibouti (rice & gravy) would be good for Africa.

The Japanese food looked like a lot of food I've eaten in Korea, sans metal trays, although maybe not at schools. The Japanese spaghetti looked great, considering I don't really like spaghetti. The fries looked pretty weak.

The Korean food looked like lots of school and company cafeteria food I've had. I usually sigh when I see those first two and pick at it. I always liked it when schools served curry. Anytime the food comes covered in gochujang and there is no way to wash it off, I just throw it away.

I grew up in the rural deep south in the US. Those lunches don't really look like what I had. We did have fried chicken, but it looked a lot better than that. Collard greens/other vegetables and rice/potatoes and some king of meat. Canned pears with cottage cheese for desert. In 12 years of public school, I never once missed having some really bad fish product on Fridays.

Thankfully, red Italian food was exceedingly rare. As was pizza. This was before Florida was saturated with NY, NJ, Conn. migrants who seem to subsist almost entirely on spaghetti, ravioli and lasagna, which to me are all basically the same food. Pasta, cheese , red and meat. Just as some Koreans believe Americans eat hamburgers 3x daily.

I would assume those pictures provide a pretty incomplete idea of what food is actually offered around each country, but anyway the Japanese one looked best to me. The Korean ones actually looked pretty unappetizing (I like Korean food a lot, but only if done well). The American ones just looked awful, like even worse than some airplane food I've eaten. I used to just pack my own lunches, but if that's actually the state of food in US schools these days, then it's just sad...

Nothing says school lunches like steamed mussels and a whole artichoke.

My school in America had better looking food than that, and we had the choice to get a salad, along with a choice to get papa-johns or chick-filet everyday. Most of the normal stuff wasn't terrible, and some was good. The thing, to me, about the Korean school lunches was the lack of variety. I liked most of it for the most part, but the boringness of eating the same things everyday got to me. That was where the American lunches were better, it was a much wider variety of foods, plus everyday there were several choices to pick from instead of just the same thing for everyone.
