Germany — School ended at 13:20 four out of five days a week so I ate at home.
On "Langtagen" (long-days) my mom would pack me bread, or we'd go to McDonalds sometimes.
The school did have a cafeteria but the food was pretty meh. I think once they served spoiled milk.
Mine once served a veggie casserole that was so bad it made me cry. Granted, I cried just so that I wouldn't vomit. Lunch was a total afterthought for the school so we'd all just overrun our local Döner shop.
Once I made it to trade school food got a lot better. The guy running the cafeteria seemed to actually enjoy cooking, he even brought in his smoker from time to time, those were the days
