School lunch menu only has POTATOES
 

A primary school in Leicestershire has revealed its new school lunch menu, much to the dissatisfaction of parents

The new, POTATO FILLED menu has been labelled ‘ridiculous’ by frustrated parents who say their kids are now ‘only on a diet of potatoes’

The only variety is the ability to choose between tuna, mayonnaise, and baked beans as a side order.

Richmond Primary School in Hinckley, Leicestershire has claimed the new menu is so bare because of ‘staff shortages’ due to covid infections

Leicestershire County Council was forced to defend the measure, claiming it was ‘temporary’, and a decision ‘not taken lightly’

It added the new menu has been ‘scrupulously reviewed by nutritionists to ensure hot meals are still served each day’

There was no comment on what drinks are now available. Water or potato juice, probably.

What are your thoughts? Should primary school kids as young as 4 be served jacket potatoes daily, or should they, many on free school meals, bring packed lunches instead?

Sounds fantastic to me :hee:

Don't they have a 2nd option in Orange everyday though instead if they want? Chips, rice, pasta?

It’s still carbs on its own , they have a better menu on im a celeb

Too much starch and carbohydrate, what a lazy school menu.

Exactly , it has been approved by dietitians and nutritionists too

It looks bad the way its been presented they should have interchanged the top optiin with the bottom option to make it look more varied, because when you break it down its one carb a meal :shrug:

Yeah no veg at all tbf.

School dinners aren't really a thing in schools over here, Kids bring packed lunches

Or is it jacket potato with chips on Friday :suspect:

If Ireland had school dinners we might have a repeat of 1845 again

We're not ruled by Britain anymore so we'd be grand

That would be a nightmare.
The thought of jacket spuds🤢

Complete with Tuna, and mash potato as a side

Its odd there is no salad at all

Ideal to build up vitamin D to fight covid

:clap1:

All the staff who make salad are off

No Semolina pudding?

Pudding is a smile from the dinner ladies

Potato

Yes
add a Side Salad

Yes, sure it is Lazy.



I hope the Jack Potatoes are nice

Not enough staff to make the salad apparently
At least they have the option of baked beans

the simple solution would be call all the ones off and ask are you actually ill at all?. then when they say no ask them to return immediately - sod what the poxy out of date government say

crisis averted

We don’t want the chefs spluttering into the kids food

:joker: Salad is literally the easiest thing to make though
