Maman: French school lunches

Fille is back at school and signed up again for lunches.  The school posts the lunches in advance every week.  Here are some of the lunches this week. I am so very envious! (The translations are the automatic translation from Google but you get the idea).

Every day and every week is different:   There is a huge variety in what they are served.

Multiple courses:  Just like any good french restaurant, there is an entree (appetizer), plat (main course) and dessert and cheese course.

Cheese course:  In the country of over 400 cheeses, each day is different.  Some examples this week are Saint-Paulin (creamy mild semi-soft cheese) or Cantal (a firm cheese whose flavor is stronger with age and tastes like a cross between a cheddar and swiss).

Price:  We pay the highest tariff (7 euros per meal) but depending on your financial circumstances, the cost can be as low as 13 cents per meal!

Made from scratch:  Need I say more?

Water:  No sodas, juices or anything other than water to drink!

So, in addition to being envious, as a parent, I am thrilled to a) not have to make lunch and b) that she is getting a healthy, substantial meal every day.

Fille is happy as well.  Here is her post from last year!
