Our Global Table
We received an email from a class in New Zealand, wondering about what we eat for lunch at school. These are our answers to their questions.
- Where do you eat your lunch? We eat in our classroom at our desks.
- Can you order lunch at your school? Yes, we can order a fast food lunch once a week and a ‘hot lunch’ twice a week. Fast food lunches are hotdogs or from restaurants like Boston Pizza, Dairy Queen, and Subway. Hot lunches are usually healthier. Some examples are lasagna, macaroni and cheese, chicken fingers, grilled cheese sandwiches, pancakes and sausages and perogies. We usually get fruit or vegetables with it and a milk or juice to drink.
- What’s you favourite food to eat at lunchtime? When we bring food from home, we like sandwiches, apples, bagels, cold pizza, soup or ravioli in a thermos, fruits and vegetables and dessert snacks.
- Do you eat hot or cold food at lunchtime? Our lunch is usually cold unless we order hot lunch or bring a thermos.
- Do you bring your lunch from home? Yes, usually.
- What’s your favourite fruit? Oranges, pineapple, peaches, apples, bananas
- What’s your favourite vegetable? Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, pickles.
Here is the link to visit what the New Zealand class put on their blog about us.

We eat in a cafeteria at the school. Every day the students have four choices from the cafeteria, one is a salad and another is a peanut butter sandwich. They can also choose from two other choices that change. They are not allowed to eat out and we don’t have any local food places that would deliver even if it was allowed (which I have no idea if it is or not.)

Hi! Dudes and Dudettes,
Thank you so much for helping us with our learning. We were interested to find that you could order 2 different types of lunch from your school.
In summer we eat our lunch under a big oak tree outside our classroom. Most of us bring our lunch from home everyday. We like eating sandwiches too.
We would like to know what are “perogies”?
Thanks for your help.

We eat in the cafe. Sometimes we are allowed to eat in an outdoor courtyard. Weather permitting.
We can not order a lunch in advance but on certain days pizza is brought in from a restaurant.
The lunch choices change daily. Always a few hot items and some cold sandwiches as well.
Pizza is my favorite food.
I enjoy hot and cold foods based on my cravings.
I will often bring my own food from home.
Fav veggies: green beans, peppers
Fav fruits: in season-blueberries, peaches, nectarines, honeydew melon, oranges, apples,

Hi!
My class is excited about having blogging friends in Canada too. Thanks Marie for explaining what perogies are. They sound delicious. One of my students thinks her Mum might be able to make them. How do you pronounce perogies?
What sorts of food can you get from Dairy Queen?
We have made a blog post about what you have shared with us and added the great photos of your lunch too.
Thanks so much for helping us.

Perogies are very good. They are kinda creamy inside and a little hard and a little soft on the outside. We eat them with something we call sour cream. Have you ever heard of that. If you have what do you eat it with? What is your favorite food Anna? Have you ever heard of hambergurs please let me know.

WOW! You guys are so helpful. Yes we do have hamburgers and sour cream in New Zealand. But we don’t have Dairy Queen.
What’s my favourite food? That is quite a tough question. At the moment in New Zealand it is nearly summer so I love ice cream and bbq food – like bbq meat, and salad. But for lunch at school I usually have bread with vegemite and yoghurt and fruit. Sometimes if I have a job to do at lunchtime I go and get sushi. I love sushi!
Thanks for your help.

Hi, we eat lunch along with two other grades, I’m in sixth and I eat lunch with sixth, fourth, and fifth. We recently got an new lunch lady for those who get hot lunch, since than we’ve been a lot more healthy. I wish we could eat outside like some of the other commenters. For my favorite fruit, I like oranges, pineapple, peaches, apples, and bananas just like you guys. I also like kiwi.
