Here's how kids around the world react when they eat school lunches
' American Kids Try School Lunches from Around the World' is an experiment to see how American children would react if they tried the same school lunches served in India, France, Cuba, Kenya, Sweden, Japan, and Afghanistan. The results show the reactions of children who are more honest than adults and overreact to the point of appearing like comedians.
The first thing that was served was an Indian school lunch: a South Indian curry called sambar, a dessert called kesari made from durum semolina flour, rice, and a salty yogurt-based drink called chaas.
The girl is shocked the moment she sees it, exclaiming 'Wow!'
'This isn't milk,' I say, hesitantly reaching for the chaas.
The boy in the blue T-shirt drank it and checked the taste for a while ...
'Whoa!' he grimaces.
'...I don't really like it. Impossible.'
The boy desperately wipes his mouth, as if the chass really didn't suit his taste.
Meanwhile, pointing at Kesari, he asks, 'Is this mashed potatoes?'
'Sweet mashed potatoes, I guess...'
'It tastes awful,' he murmured.
The boy spat out the Kesari the moment he put it in his mouth, leaving behind the mysterious comment that he felt like an alien.
This girl also suddenly spits out of her mouth.
There was also a girl desperately swallowing.
Next up was the French school lunch. Ratatouille, a vegetable stew made with tomatoes, grilled salmon, rice, brie cheese, baguette, fruit, and yogurt were served on a tray.
The girl shook her head, saying 'No!'
He's holding his head as if he doesn't like something.
'Try eating what's next to the bread,' he says, spreading it on the bread...
Brie cheese.
Munch munch.
'…………'
'It tastes like cake, so I thought it was a dessert!' she spat out, spit out at the unexpected taste of the brie cheese.
The girl was extremely reluctant at first, but she started munching away anyway.
The two of them try to guess, 'Is this a French school lunch?'
'I love France,' she said with a big smile. It seems she hadn't even tried it.
'This is the same as any school lunch in France, it's absolutely delicious,' he says earnestly, praising the French cuisine.
Next came the Cuban school lunch, a tray of yellow pea soup, taro, fried
The girl wearing the jacket immediately made a harsh comment: 'This smells awful.'
But Crockett seemed to like it.
Some children clearly expressed their dissatisfaction with Croquet.
'Wow, banana!' I reached for the plantain, but ...
After taking a bite, he spits it back on the plate and says, 'This is plantain.'
The boy smelled the taro but didn't find it particularly unpleasant, so he ate it.
However, when the staff member said, 'That's a root,' ...
I silently remove the taro from my plate.
Swedish school lunches consist of thin crust pancakes, hardtack, cheese, lingonberry juice and carrot salad.
A boy in a French school lunch who was reluctant to try Brie cheese sniffed sadly and said, 'Please write that I don't like cheese...'
He put it in his mouth once, but then he took it out of his mouth and said, 'No, I don't like it.'
The boy spat out the brie, but had no problem eating Swedish cheese on hardtack.
'What is this?' he asked, gulping down the cowberry juice.
'Grapefruit?' he asks with a puzzled look.
A boy in a blue T-shirt brings carrot salad to his mouth.
He uses his whole body to express the shock of the taste and shouts 'Ooh la la!' in French for some reason.
This time, it was a school lunch in Kenya. It was a dish called Gizeli, which is beans stewed with spices.
Sniff the smell.
'It smells good,' she says with a blissful expression.
When the brothers smelled it, they simultaneously shouted, 'Chili!'
Munch munch.
It looks like he's enjoying it thoroughly.
The moment the boy ate it he spat out, 'It's so spicy!'
While there is a girl who is eating calmly, saying, 'I'll eat this again tomorrow' ...
The boy breathes heavily, trying to deal with the pain.
'Good!'
Japanese school lunches were also served, with the menu including curry udon, burdock salad, and potato croquettes.
The girl was once again at a loss for words and muttered, '...Wow.'
'I've never eaten anything like this before. I can't handle it.'
Most of the children didn't even know how to use chopsticks, so they struggled even before they started eating.
Some children are trying to eat curry udon with a spoon.
'Do you not like the soup?' 'Yes.' 'What about the noodles?' 'I don't like them.' It seems like he doesn't like anything about it.
Children who use chopsticks with both hands...
Some girls gave up and grabbed the udon with their hands and ate it.
He leaves a meaningful comment saying, 'It has an interesting taste.'
'Pizza would be better...'
Children who knew how to use chopsticks used them awkwardly to eat curry udon and salad.
I'm in a really good mood.
The last thing served was a high-calorie biscuit, a school lunch item in Afghanistan.
The two of them sniffed around, wondering what it was, and guessed it was either sponge cake or bread.
It's so hard that it's hard to even bite into.
When we tapped it, we couldn't help but look at each other in surprise at how hard it was and how it made a ``knock knock'' sound.
'Looks delicious,' the girl smiles.
When asked, 'Do you feel sorry for children who have to eat this every day?' she answered, 'No. It's sweet and delicious, and I think it would be good for me.'
They were shocked to find that such a small block had over 900 kcal, but in terms of taste it was one of the more popular items served during the school lunch.
