rice "again"... bruh its a staple food in asian countries
I said the same thing, like you are in Asia , lots of rice. Plus I'd rather have rice everyday instead of having to guess what mystery meat or lunch the school had unprepared to feed us.
Sabrina Smith true
omg yes in school lunch there is always rice.Plain rice,rice with peas,rice with butter,rice with veggies,rice with fried noodles and soup.And i live in turkey.
+Sabrina Smith so true i love rice lol
+Luhan n Sehun's lollipop When I was in college, I used to make midnight snack with rice cooker. White rice with some canned chicken or tuna. My grammar school had a cafeteria. Lunch was actually good. Real food. They also had a "store" for ice cream and cookies. My high school was bring your own bag lunch (If I remember correctly).
I am so jealous😞 their school food looks and sounds so much better than American school food.
Blame Michelle Obama
Amen
+mikael leheckenbooger even before her the food sucked but after her is sucked even more
nissa Purple Through elementary and junior high, food was amazing. I actually looked forward to lunch. It wasn't the healthiest, but it was pretty damn good. Then Michelle fucked it up lmao.
MakeupWithMiller ,yeah ours is so gross in the us we had food that tasted like poop I would definitely take that over what we get even if it didn't taste my favorite it would still taste so much better, my lunch lady said when someone said make better food she said I work here for money not to make food that's edible for you guys it was like really you should get fired the kid was like 3.
Wow that looks awesome. I need the US to step up our school lunch system lol.
+Kpop Tart it depends on which schools tho lol some schools gives horrible food and expect us to study hard
+Kpop Tart I think mainly they should cut back on processed food and sugar. US is just gotten out of hand with that compared to Europe or Asia.
+its silvialee this is very very ordinary school lunch
Black Panther i know, but there still are some schools out there who has terrible services in school lunches here in korea. like i said "it depends" when there are schools like hankuk academy of foreign studies who gives their school lunch like kings.
In korea people go to school since 7 am to 8 or 9 pm so they eat have breakfast and maybe dinner there too, That's why they have that kind of food, in U.S.A and other countries you just have a small break because you go to school for like 6 hours not 12, They give you snacks not lunch
Every meal is so different....this lady makes it sound like everything is the same lol
Jason Oh yeah it will taste different if u eat it with rice although theres some of same ingriedients but i think different flavouring and the way it cooks?
She doesn’t know any better 😂
Their is NOTHING about the food that is different apart for black bean stew, if you actually ate food outside korean seasonings you’d be gobsmacked.
@JKSteve1124 but the seasonings and the way they cook it is definitely different. Therefore, its different. (and the type of meat and vegetables is not the same everyday)
Facepalm
omfg in the us, these kids get weeks old freezer burnt pizza and a little carton of milk. damn these look like their from restaurants, that's why Koreans are healthy.
+fruitkiller yeah I know..I used to be one of those kids lol. But some of my American school lunches got better in high school.
+fruitkiller i cant eat meat and my only choice is pb&j. the worst!!!!! i hate sweet food bc i feel dizzy
+Kimmyonaquest I'm in high school in the US currently , the lunch in Las Vegas is GROSS lol. Since I get out of school at 1:25 I just wait to go pick up lunch later
That's great that you can pick up your own food, but try to bring something to munch on so you don't get too hungry!
+Kimmyonaquest true ! Also I spend too much money on eating after lol
why do you keep saying white rice again as if it's some surprise? common knowledge it's eaten with every meal... I would have loved this in school!
cause it's no common in the u.s.
+james vee my mom makes rice with every meal, guessing it's because she's Trinidadian
Zoe why you so sensitive
I think she was just being descriptive. I don't think she meant to sound exasperated or anything. But apparently everyone is getting offended. 😂
._. That's just the time of her voice. That was her voice through out the whole video.
Is rice called 'rice again' in Korea?
I hope you're not being serious.
+LadyAniee why?
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I eat rice every three meals in Canada. what's wrong with that? i am worried about her students. she is not deserve to be a teacher in Korea just because she speaks English. she has an attitude and seems to look down on Korea . 내가 교장이면 당장 짤랐다. 요즘 한국에 자격도 안되는 원어민 선생들 너무 많다. 내가 보기엔 저 여자 필리핀 여자로 밖에 안보이는데 거기가서 화장실이 더럽다는니 은행이 형편없다느니 소리해 봐라.
if u live in america oh, bread bread again
"Again". I've never been so irritated by something as simple as a word.
Me too! I hated how she sounded so tired of the rice and kimchi.
Pizza again??? Spagetti again??? Meatloaf again??
Mina Dapaah man, why you gotta be like that? After having rice every single day when you're not that familiar with it. Doesn't that sound normal??
Mina Dapaah It sounds disrespectful when she says “rice... again” because she should know that rice IS a staple food in most Asian cultures.
Jeon Jungkook's Wifeu I agree with you.
Don't say rice "again" because rice is a staple food in asian countries. So eventually in every meal there is rice, you need to know that. You can't actually say 'oh, maybe tomorrow we will have steak without the rice"
true. in my country we only said we have eaten if it is rice. ate a sandwich? no you havent ate. lmao
+Hana Graciella asians love rice. It's one source of carbohydrate.
+Hana Graciella so true. The moment when we say "I only ate sandwich/pizza today". They'll be like "why haven't you eaten any rice yet?"
감사합니다!!
I agree! I hated when she kept saying "rice again". I would love to have "rice again" with every meal that looks like the ones she showed us.
American Schools: We need to give our students healthier options!
American schools: *replaces pizza crust with whole grain dough* perfect
JustBeing Me LOL 😂
JustBeing Me Hahahahaha.
Whole grains have caused a 4x increase in liver cancer among those who eat them. Healthy is not always best because perfect nutrition also speeds the growth of cancers, the aging process, and overall breakdown of body systems seen in advanced age.
Replaces cookies with oatmeal and makes the juice water and makes the chips sweet potato chips and replaces hotdog with salad
I love how you say 'rice AGAIN' ... Rice is their staple food! Rice, soup and kimchi at every meal. The banchan will differ.
You understand our culture. Thank You!!!
I love korean food. And the reason why they don't get fat is that even they always eat white rice they serve it in a small portion and always have banchan serve in every meal esp. kimchi . And ohh I have my korean boyfriend as the portion controller of food esp. rice :)
When you watch this on an empty stomach at night...
Worse than that.. I'm fasting..
+Mia Rizqia ramadan kareem
ramadan kareem to you!
Thankyou so much~ Ramadhan kareem to you too~ :)
thank you!!
Everything looks so delicious, I am so envious!
Hey America. That's what you call a well balanced meal.
+icestormt hahaha you win
+ThargyalKungaTV
And you're typing in English... so you're on the Western's nuts....
I wish that's what we got
Other country speak English by the way. Not just in America
Yas
Steamed rice is the best because, it goes with everything 😍 yum.
Not just rice all the foods in Asia are awesome. Asian food is the best food than other continental foods in the world.
Rice doesn’t go with cereal but I get your point lol
PEOPLE👏🏾👏🏾 Steamed rice does not go with ice cream or chocolate
Gacha Gemini you will be amazed that rice goes with chocolate. Search for champorado :). BTW there is actually burnt rice ice cream :).
wish u.s. schools served food like this the food they serve here is nasty. I don't eat lunch there I wait till I get out of school.
same
I feel the same
In most part of Korea school lunch in public school are free.
Except for the conservative areas that are rather anti Socialist - Those areas are strongly against free school lunch programs and worried free school lunch will make students to grow up to be Socialist expecting handouts :)
galaxy_yo123 at least they free lunches
galaxy_yo123 same
Damn. Korea is serving five star meals. They make our lunches look like scraps.
Micropela its because they are
Micropela cause they are ajsjjsjs
Micropela
Frrr the lunch in my school is just plain horrible. It's hard to bite into at times and the rice is not even cook right.
If you haven’t figured out by now, Koreans are incorrigible foodies. Food equates to love, life, meaning, community, joy, pleasure, wisdom, sense, rest, connection, celebration, etc. It’s the most important thing for the Korean, as it ought to be for all. What we serve up at schools for lunch in California are not fit for human. That ought to change.
Micropela BRUH RIGHT
next day rice again..."AGAIN"...? rice is life! :D
Yeah its like you're eating, relaxing & calming. Eating rice its like poetry. Don't you think? :)
DANG them Korean cafeteria ladies work so hard!!!!!
Adilene Valencia I'm not sure if this is still the case but when I went to elementary school in Korea, the parents came into school and actually did all the cafeteria work. But I don't know if they still do that.. maybe the health guidelines are stricter now??
Im really grateful for them
Students' parents are serving by free or School hire them.
dayum they're so lucky to get delicious meals like that in south korean schools 😭😍 AMERICA GET YO SHIT TOGETHER!
legit what I'm saying.
AMERICA HAS THE WORST LUNCH EVER so that's why I bring my lunch to school lol
peachy jimin why is it always about americs
peachy jimin Foreal!! Like there's sometimes the lunch looks so Bad that you think even the jail food looking better than this shit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
MarMar LikesBunnies because We in America need to fix Our Shitty ass lunches!!
Well, we're doing something wrong in America...
"Obesity is a problem in America" I wonder why? Have you seen our lunches?
Well you can't blame obesity solely on school lunches. Students are in school 5 days a week and lunch is served once a day. It's on the parents as well.
+najeedah maximin I know that, but it still plays a big part in it
+najeedah maximin. You're right but cant expect a kid to want to exercise or crave heathly foods after eating a lunch full of processed food or on an empty stomach because they chose not to eat the twice cooked garbage. Parents are at home wondering why their child no longer eats vegetables now that they have started school.
+najeedah the kids are offered one fruit which is either gmo and non-organic or its from a can. The vegetables are from a can. They didn't come from the freezer. The one vegetable offer is full of sodium and has already lost most of its nutrients from being previously cooked.
+Kat Rhoads not to mention none of them taste good. the oranges are either not completely ripe or too ripe. all the meats taste like wet cardboard too.
So much diversity in the meals this is wonderful!
There food looks so much better than the food they serve here in California.
I can't tell if the meat or cheese is real. And the school district call it "healthy lunches"
Omfg or when they say you need to get fruits or veggies even if the fruits aren't fresh neither the veggies :/
I'm in California too :( I have home lunch because my mom doesn't allow me too have school lunch that's how bad it is!!
im actually surprised theres no fish at all. as i can remember my cafeteria does serve fish as often as meat and the rice portion is bigger. but i think thats just because im a guy?
Sure. I can tell you this though.
Healthy my ass.
I feel u..in our school they once had oranges in little metal bucket..there was mould all over it. So disgusting. I stopped going to the school cafeteria and magicaly, my stomach pains stopped. -_-
Looks ten times better than what I had when I was in school!
Everything looked nutritious !!
+Zai San Yes... those cut up hotdogs -_-
Zai San looks better than my school lunch
xthatwhiteguyx those 'cut up hotdogs' are nutritious
Your video is a great exposure to let others know about Korean school lunches. Thank you for that. However, I must add that your tone sounds very disrespectful. The Korean culture is very respectful and sensitive towards people cooking/making food for you (especially because of its history), and yet you sighing, remarking it as "other random things," and not really knowing what you are eating (mislabeling them, e.g. "fishes" were actually anchovies; "jelly things" were actually acorn; "mushrooms" were actually eggplant, etc.) were pretty disappointing. Hope you can learn more about the Korean foods and culture a bit more before you leave. Maybe you can ask your colleagues or students about them before trying to show others. Good luck.
+kmj Disrespectful? Seriously? Perhaps she's just tired of having to eat rice and rotted cabbage, along with whatever other scraps (that we in the US would consider garbage) that they find to "cook" every day.
Being tired of eating something versus being grateful are different aspects. She can still be grateful and appreciative towards something she is tired of eating. Moreover, if she were really tired of eating it, she should just go buy her own food. Why complain, sigh, and show disrespect when you are tired of eating "other scraps?" By the way, you're very rude as well. I am sensing you are no well informed about appreciation towards other cultures. Please educate yourself, Mr. Joe Walsh. I do live in the US and I am pretty sure sausages and hamburgers are made up of "other scraps" that people will not eat in other countries.
kmj Dude, you're just being a jackass at this point. Just stop. You're demanding that she kowtow to this culture. It's not like she was being openly rude about the food offered. The fact that she, as a clearly superior American, wasn't openly expressing her disgust at what those people call "food" actually IS showing respect. If she was really trying to be disrespectful, her language would have been a lot more colorful.
How ironic. Why don't you take your own advice?
Disrespect and rudeness come in a continuum. Hers was rather subtle, and I caught it. If the other party perceive such feelings, then, that is how one feels towards the person who enacted such impolite mannerisms. You cannot demand your ignorance towards an intellectual. Sorry, try again; or perhaps you will listen to your own advice and "just stop."
Eh I don't know about disrespectful but you can tell she's not really interested in Korean food
"Rice again" lol she's got that nasally whiney somewhat disrespectful voice that is so annoying. You're in Asia. Hello. They eat rice all the time.
She appears to be so clueless about where she is.
AND i KNOW SHE LIKES" PORK" SOUP. NO WONDER SHE IS PHILIPINO
I'm not Filipino, but even if I was does that somehow make me less of a person? Take your rude comments elsewhere.
Glen n Do you mean being a Filipino as a bad thing or not? I mean, if you're defending Asians yet you think Filipinos aren't good then, you are not more of a person than she is. Filipinos are Asians.
Kimmyonaquest and what about your rude comments????? Lolololol
American lunch sucks im going to south korea
Katrina M true
Katrina M no microwave...only college have it
My hS does, but always dirty... sometimes the staffs cleans, but those damn kids are always a mess!
maikor3 my elementary and middle school had microwaves but my high school doesn't it's so weird
In Australia we bring our own food for recess and lunch, ain’t nobody ever made our food.
Those lunches look good especially the soups
Freaken lucky! In America we get frozen nasty food! It's never fresh! And it looks like prison food you see on tv
Actually (I agree) prison food in real life is better and healthier than school food. I read that somewhere.
colorguardwith brandon our food isn't frozen and least not my school
prison food is lit
Our food isn’t frozen
Sometimes you're mistakingly calling fish cake tofu and egg plant mushroom.
I think she knows what she's eating lol
+pastiebomb actually, I don't think she does. I have eaten Korean food almost every day for the past 9 years and those are very familiar dishes or banchon..
re-watch! @3:38 she mentions the tofu and then mentions the meat cakes. Where do you hear fish cakes? She definitely doesn't call them tofu.
+Mike K Think you're right... mushrooms were def egg plant at one point and meat cake and chicken were both fishcake... pretty unusual to have ddukbokki with chicken I think? Also "yellow bits" were barley if I'm not mistaken... Barley rice is very common in Korea... Anyway it all looks delicious.
I agree. I am Korean and those are fish cakes and not tofu banchans lol... kind of shocked at how she's describing some of these dishes when they're not what she says they are. if you're unsure, say you're unsure.
MAN! When I saw those rice and hot dogs, I realized that my grandma (she's full Korean) and my dad make those all the time! I wish I lived in Korea! Come on US, step up your lunch system!
I would pay for these trays at a resturaunt. LOL, I thought school lunches were supposed to be bad. I hope you do another of these vids.
In my opinion, That's world best healthy meal ever in common school. korea does.
Comment section consist of
50 % - RiCe AgAin
50 % that looks so good
Misty G and 0.1% of you
These look so flavorful and filling. I went to my kids school to join them for lunch and UGH. So bland and SMALL little things. I think I'm the last generation where food was actually good in school cafeterias. Everything was hot and they had variety. Now a days the food is like left cold or room temperature. And it's gross!
Yummy! Makes me miss Korean food even more 😍😿
im actually using this for a school project. i’m working to reduce single use plastic in our school. lunches are served on styrofoam, fruits and veggies come in plastic raps, milk, water and other drinks are always in plastic bottles, then of course there’s the chips which are again - in plastic, then there’s plastic forks, knives and spoons. of course some of these things are recyclable, but kids don’t really care. in these lunches there is barely any plastic used and it’s all relatively healthy food - very different from american food, trust me. if schools in america could find a way to effectively implement this system, it’d greatly reduce their plastic waste.
Why do I always watch food videos before bed??? Now I'm hungry! Lol, what does "Bachan or Banchan" mean?
+Ashley LaRose Banchan are the side dishes that usually accompany Korean meals.
+Kimmyonaquest Oh, so would rice be considered Banchan, or is it a part of the main course?
Kimmyonaquest
Ashley LaRose I don't think rice is considered banchan but the other side dishes (veggies, kimchi dishes, etc...) would be considered banchan.
Thank you! :D
Their school lunches look so good! I love how it's mostly veggies because I love veggies. I would love to have korean school lunches here in the US
WOW! That is so much food, you'd probably have to roll me to my next class!! :D
This is why south korea is awesome. I love Canada too! We have amazing lunches here
I'd eat everything on the menu, no complaints due to the fact that at my old Louisiana public school we were served prison food and at my private school we were served dry/stale plate lunches that cost $100 to eat for a week. 😒 Thank God it's different in college.
i honestly drooled watching this imagining getting foods like this for lunch, the food my school gets is....unique
You sound miserable describing the lunches. Can you not bring your own?
+litven Yeah you're right, I was lying down when I was doing the voice-over. Lesson-learned for future videos not to do that again!
N not to say rice again that was annoying
와... 부렵다. 한국 학생들이 이렇게 먹었더니 정말 기가 막히겠다.
Wish America schools would serve healthy meals like this
hope this helps some people out! and of course im not 100% right about what she's eating cause I couldn't personally taste them myself but I've been eating Korean food since I grew teeth and im basing my guesses purely on the looks and her descriptions of the food.
1st meal was a kimchi noodle dish and the broth is usually made from seaweed and anchovys. the rice cake is maybe cabonara ddukbokki. ddukbokki is usually spicy made from red pepper paste but there are other variations.
2nd meal was curry udon, braised soy sauce potatoes, radish kimchi and kimchi stew
3rd meal was kinda self explanitory. the soup is a spicy version of fermented bean paste stew doenjang jjigae
4th meal was tofu katsu (which I think is a yummy veggie way to get ur donkatsu fix) and the soup is called yook gae jang. its traditionally made with beef but my mom makes it with chicken sometimes.
4th meal the "tofu" is actually 어묵 (uh mook) which is fish cake. the chicken kinda looks like soy sauce braised chicken (jjim ddak) and kimchi stew again.
5th meal fish cakes again but with bits of veggies in it with kimchi noodles and the soup doesn't look like yook gae jang but maybe they ran out of the usual veggies that go in it lol
6th meal is hamburg steak which is really popular in homes of Korea and Japan. that's my favorite banchan too! it's spicy seasoned garlic stems called ma neul jjong in korean. the soup again looks kinda like doen jang ji gae.
7th meal is jja jjang bap. its black bean sauce you pour over rice or noodles (jja jjang myun) and the cucumbers go on top as a garnish. spicy rice cakes dduk bokki. has fish cakes in it.
8th meal kimchi stew again! the dumpling have tang soo yuk sauce on it which is similiar to sweet and sour sauce in Chinese restaurants but its a clear sauce no red dye yuck. not sure what the fried stuff is but could be green onion or shiso leaf. and that is acorn jelly called mook.
9th meal donkatsu which is a breaded chicken or pork cutlet similar to Schnitzel. baby anchovies with green peppers in a sweet soysauce glaze called myeol chi jorim. the soup is called kong na mul guk. its a bean sprout soup with daikon radish. there's also a spicy version.
10th meal not sure what meat that is but it looks like tang su yuk which is Korean version of sweet and sour pork or chicken
11th meal looks like soy sauce braised chicken again. broccoli with cho gochu jang (vinegared red pepper paste) and Idk if this meal was on/after new years but it looks like dduk guk which is a rice cake soup usually eaten the day of new years.
really enjoyed this video brought me back to memories of my moms home cooked meals
+xpinkHOLIC Thanks for the breakdown!
When I was going to school (in the US) I didn't like the food: mostly pizza, fried chicken, hamburgers, spaghetti and milk or juice as an option. I would actually starve myself the entire day until I got home so I could make rice and whatever. So, I actually love it when there is rice better than what you get at schools in the US tbh.
Couldnt you bring food?
That would have been a good idea, but we didn't have anyway to heat food.
Looks soooooo good, hearty and healthy
This looks so good...
Wow the food looks so good!!! Lucky Korean school kids😩😩😩
+Usha Brahma also they are for free...... :O
+Jen they are for free??? 😟😟😟😫😫😫 more lucky they 😒😒😒🙄🙄🙄☹️☹️☹️
Usha Brahma yes... because all the citizens pay for their tax.... for the students... :( but the snack bar foods are not for free :D
Jen :) sounds interesting :) :D
I heard American school lunch is not healthy at all .Foreigner teacher from America said so. Then What do they eat for lunch?
송채은 oh mostly pizza, chips, " healthy " salads, candy.. etc... well at my old high school... i normally would bring lunch from home...
GZBzBlackjack Angelica
let's not forget The "Jamaican beef petty"
the petty that has no beef but ground out a whole chicken..... I actually loved the taste of it but after I found out what nasty ingredients they're made out of.. never. never again 😝
chris K like when i was a kid my school lunches werent that bad like every friday we'll have a Red Baron Pizza day ( my favorite day of the week lol ) and most days the food was good and got lots of it... I feel bad for the kids in this generation lol
GZBzBlackjack Angelica
haha Pizza on Friday must be something to do in North America!!!
I am glad your lunch was enjoyable
I personally don't like having raw veggies
and they keep serving raw ones😷
once in my life I must have turned into rabbit 👯
chris K for a frozen pizza Red Baron Pizza is probably the best, its shaped like a row boat lol, and its only $2.00 in the frozen section at the store and you get two lol.. I mean i like veggies but i have to eat it with stuff lol
In the begining of the video she said it's in a middle school in somewhere in Korea. It means the lunch is free for every students however you are satisfied with the food quality. Actually in almost every school, mothers are monitering food quality every week.
The problem is US school system refused to cook real food. Instead, they heat up some pre made food that are high fat and calories. If kids started to eat these junk food when they were young, how do you expect them to eat healthy as they age?
Amazing lunches! I'd die happy if I get to eat that everyday. So healthy, and most of the dishes are flavorful.
I would never complain if they gave us that type of lunch at school everyday. I would/will eat it without ANY complain.
It all looks good to me...I love the fact you get soup every day! I love soup! :)
At least this is real fucking food lol
I'm glad I'm not the only one who get irritated by her way of talking about the foods.
Ma'am, that "random soup" is "kimchi jjigae".
I'm not even Korean but I feel really insulted.
And that "rice again"...$&#&#$
I mean, do you think your country is the standard of all things?
.
True man... That was irritating I'm not even both and I hate American food..
If she's American, yes, she does think her country sets the standard for all things.
My school only gives pizza with lettuce on the side with a cookie or fruit but most of the food comes from the freezer instead of the cooked food in this video
i am Korean, and i can assure that this is 100% accurate.
Anti-kimchi, aren't you? Why not leave? I am certain you can find meaningful experiences from where your came from.
+Chon Son I'm not anti-kimchi. I actually enjoy kimchi regularly. I will be leaving once my time is up. There are meaningful experiences to be had every where in the world.
+Kimmyonaquest I'm South Korean
thanks for your good video and don't be cheated by fake S.Korean.
+Kimmyonaquest just ignore that stupid guy there are tons of koreans who don't like kimchi as well including myself lol
+Chon Son you're extremely rude. Why you don't go to where you came from?
+Misha HJ he's Japanese keyboard warrior when you see alias with Chon meaning short for Choson referring to old Korea. tons of Japanese don't like foreigners introducing Korea.
I myself is an Bangladeshi and no wonder why their skin is so glowing and they look less old than their age...they have little variety of spices in their food and so many vegetables! Wow!!
She said "again" and yall act like she committed a genocide.
Yejisus Christ IKR
The way she said 'kimchi' and 'ban-chan' trriigggeredd me XD
You sound annoyed esp. with the rice, soups and kimchi. Just an honest question do you not like the food or just a bad week? Personally even loving pizza and fried stuff I'd trade all that for those school lunches. I know eating similar stuff gets boring but the quality seems really good
+Jeon Jung-toki I'm not annoyed. Sorry if my tone sounds that way. I'm not great at voice-overs, and it's hard for me to sound enthused describing the same item over and over again. Also, this video is a compliation of random lunches over several weeks. The quality of the food is great. Some days better than others, but no complaints for the most part.
+Kimmyonaquest Thanks. its good to know that the quality is as good as it looks. And no apologies necessary. I was just curious. Heck thank you for filming this. Several weeks that must have taken alot of editing
Staples aside (e.g rice, kimchi) I still like the fact that you get a variety of side dishes with different vegetables.The food looks tasty and you know that it's good for you, so you won't feel as bloated in comparison to when you eat something fried or high in carbs/sugar/fat...
This all looks delicious! American kids are so used to eating crap, I don't think that they would like this type of meal. Sad.
This is literally the type of lunch we need in our US school system.
I am a korean high school teacher. School meals are free anywhere in Korea. The government treats students with high quality school meals until they reach adulthood. This is why the average height of Koreans is excellent in Asia. It is also because of school meals that children from some single parent families do not miss school. Cooking for someone is an expression of love.😊
Wow they eat good there, looks like great healthy varied meals!
I wouldn't skip a single day of lunch If my school food looked liked this.
Looks s good 😍 I want some Korean food now
Definitely looks much better than many American school lunches. The teachers usually bring their own lunches from home, which says a lot about the quality of the food.
I'm an American who has no Asian ancestry but I eat rice with almost every meal, it's like comfort food to me and I don't feel as though I have eaten without a couple spoonfuls. Was shocked by the person's distaste for rice...we can switch places anytime!!!
Song to my ears :)
I strongly disagree what people at saying about the US. The lunch food in my area is healthy and fresh! We enjoy wheat bread, grilled foods, fruit, veggie, and 100% fruit juice! If your school board is having problems, then I recommend going up there and talking about it🙃
Wow! Look at them lunches!
This makes me happy and sad at the same time.. Happy, because the food looks so delicious and healthy, I'm glad this is an option at Korean schools for both students and teachers! But also sad for our kids in schools in the U.S... It's just... Awful. I remember back in my day the square pizzas and nachos and stuff were pretty decent.. By the time I reached high school though, it would get to the point where I would just bring my own lunch most days.. I hope more schools can get on board with examples from other countries such as this..
Everything is so healthy! That's why koreans are so healthy and they have a very clear skin because they eat vegetables every single day.
If only my school serves this goodness😧💔...
this lunch looks very balanced and nutritious I wish more schools around the world put this much effort into children's diets
I'm basically seeing a restaurant in a school for children ... o.O this is how things should be...
at my cafeteria, we usually have something like burgers, wings, tenders with fries and choice of fruit or veggie. People usually eat off campus for lunch because it school allows us.
I'm so jealous everything looks so yummy.
The lunches there look 10000 times better than the lunches at school where I live 😣😣
i love your videos so much kimmy omg and those lunches actually seem so yummy and kimmy ive been wondering how do you make a plan for whatever u need to teach like is it u that makes the plan or the school tells u exactly why to teach?:) thanks alot
+Zainab Khelifi My school gives me the freedom to plan whatever lessons I want, but sometimes I do use their English textbooks as a guide for some ideas. It just depends on the school. Sometimes I wish they would tell me exactly what to teach because I run out of ideas. Having the flexibility to plan whatever I want definitely has its advantages though! I generally like to incorporate a lot of cultural concepts into my lessons to teach the students about holidays, customs, foods, and etc...It can be as fun as you want to make it!
+Kimmyonaquest Do you have to purchase all of your own materials for class or do they provide any stipend to offset some of the cost?
They don't give me a stipend but they did purchase the things I needed for English summer camp activities. Other than that, I try to plan lessons that don't require much materials other than paper and pencil. I have way too many kids to provide supplies for all my classes (over 600 students total).
Kimmyonaquest thanks a lot kimmy it should be fun to plan wtv u want but i get that u run out of ideas !:)
This looks amazing!!!! I wish we had Korean school lunches in the US.
I am going to Korea I can't wait to eat these lunches! Lol
In Australia, we have a canteen. You can order lunch in the morning, but majority of students pack their own lunch. You can buy snacks from there as well
IT LOOKS EDIBLE AND DECENT! one look of food here in US and your appetite is gone.D:
Very interesting to see how school lunch is done on the other side of the world. I think in this department, America has something to learn from South Korea.
You can try putting the rice into your soup. it gives a good flavor :)
Kimchi, rice, and a soup every day?!?! Yes please!!!
The US seriously needs to get their educational system in order. The nutrition is so unhealthy compared to other developed countries. Even lesser developed countries tend to have better school meals. They also need to scale the wage for teachers higher and really focus on enhancing the educational efficiency for the students. The US is such an outdated, unhealthy educational experience. The only real strength the US has in their school program US are the afterschool programs, athletic programs, and a more relaxed social atmosphere. Aside from that, the real core educational system is inadequate.
Um, Korea has afterschool programs too. We also have programs during school time!
this was amazing! gave me an idea of what I would have to deal with as a picky eater of I ever taught English in Korea.
Question: DO they offer a vegetarian option? Or will they consider to be rude if I don't eat everything on the menu that day/bring my own lunch? (I have a strong aversion to all forms of process meat and pork meat) :'(
It's not rude, just strange. They will very likely not offer a vegetarian option (it's quite hard to be vegetarian in Asia), but you could just eat the side dishes and rice and bring something small of your own to supplement that.
+mOOnpEEls If they had jjajangmyun or kimchi jigae (meatless version) or meatless naengmyun or meatless mandu or meatless bibimbap or just sides. A lot of Korean dishes have some meat in it. Of course BBQ is out for you. But there are some vegetable only dishes (besides kimchi). You could get kimchi fried rice. Can't think of any other vegetable only dishes at the moment.
Since you don't eat meat, you are going to miss out on a lot of Korean cuisine. I went to an AYCE Korean BBQ restaurant for dinner today. The previous day, I had Gamjatang (pork bone soup). I also like Galbitang (short rib soup).
Wowwww, you know countries outside the U.S. actually serve delicious whole hearty food for breakfast and lunch and dinner for schools. Rice is really important !!! In america we got this small thing of cereal, for breakfast, cold bland brocolli , carton of milk which I never drank cause you never know and something they through together in tiny portion for lunch. I mean it wasn't the best but, I won't take it for granted, some kids had nothing :/ I applaud other countries for really taking time and money to provide quality food for their schools.
Poor South Koreans... they have to eat food that's hand made, probably locally grown by their neighbors... that's just so.... 90's.... We here in America get to enjoy food that's professionally made from the factory, processed and sprayed with preservatives to insure we get it fresh!!! Backed by Monsanto's... who generously provides us with the extra kick of GMO... Yeah... be jealous....

I think you're pretty stupid...
😆😆😆
Who the heck would be jealous of us when our school lunch suck and it unhealthy
@@yoongiyahsaranghae 잘못 이해하신듯.. "건강하고 갓만든 음식을 먹는 불쌍한 한국인들, 우린 공장에서 생산된 신선한 유전자조작 식품이나 먹는데.. (사실 질투나.)" 대충 이런 내용이에요. 자기나라 돌려까면서 한국 칭찬하는거죠...
I don't see why people are complaining about her saying "rice again" she's explaining to us what it is they serve each day. How else would you list something that you've already listed. You use the word "again" lol
I want to move to Korea now lol
