I have no real idea what she actually eats, although she does tell me sometimes.
I may start getting her to bring me some lunch home. I am getting a bit fed up with a traditional Ploughman's lunch (Bread cheese and onions)

Is there a McDonalds nearby? She can get a chicken mcnugget happy meal which includes chips and a drink for less than the price of a plain chicken sandwich. And you get sauce as well! Plus a free toy.

We've just moved away from using any ready made, processed food. Everything we sell now is made on the premises every day, our steak pies are fab!

Re: School Lunch options
Tuck shop stuff though seems to be just for the odd occasion when people haven't got anything in by all accounts.
I am struggling with food being kept in an edible condition in the heat - even with frozen drinks in the boxes.
My kids lunchboxes are more expensive I think than it would cost from that list - they are just walking dustbins and scrounge if they dont have enough so I have started sending 2 boxes of food to school save the embarrassment. they are skinny though so I am not bothered

Re: School Lunch options
My daughter has 2 more weeks of schooling here in the UK so we decided as a treat we would pay for the school dinners for those 2 weeks. Was only £18 for 2 weeks. The menu selection is really quite decent too.
Looking at those Australian school menus and what you get for your money it looks a bit disappointing especially if your child is not that into salad. I hope she really enjoys the school dinners as it looks like she will be back to lunch boxes for school.
