School Dinners

Funsize started school on Tuesday, which was quite a thing - it seems no time since we were bringing her home as a tiny helpless bundle. But she'd reached a point she was clearly ready to go, as she'd gotten everything out of preschool that she was going to get. Plus, all her best friends were going, so it's good that she did too.

Anyway, on Tuesday she came home with a leaflet outlining the school dinners that are being served. In Scotland all children are entitled to a free lunch at school until P5, which is really good (she gets breakfast too, three days a week). I've written before advocating a provision like this, and indeed a universal provision of this sort, so I'm obviously well pleased with this.

But I was even more impressed on looking through the meals on offer for that school dinner - each day a choice of three options (one of them vegetarian), complete with a starter and drink. The range is impressive, as indeed some of the markers of quality (free range eggs, seasonal vegetables, etc).

This is all really very good. More of it please!
