        Southern fried chicken comes from Scotland and WAfrica. And the EAsians have done heroic work in fried poultry tech. But the idea of shredding an animal with industrial machines and recombining it all with meat glue and fillers into appetizing dinosaur shapes, rolling it in breadcrumbs and frying it golden brown and crispy is 10,000% American and you can’t deny it.

    Steamed Sponges

    I’m glad to see that’s just cake/pudding, I thought you were steaming sea sponges…

      I would not put this past some kitchens. In fact, they could be steaming cleaning sponges for the same consistency and flavour.

    I left school over 20 years ago but I don’t remember ever having things like nuggets or fish and chips (chips yes, but not fried fish). Couldn’t even get a pizza, that usually come from home. Lol. Have school dinners got worse?

    The worst things I remember are stuff like pastries and iced buns you could get at break time.

    This will be devastating for most school cafeterias. How dare they forbid everything on the menu just for being unhealthy!

    In the end, some of the employees might have to learn to actually cook food like a … cook?
