People horrified over 'pathetic' school dinner that looks like it's 'fed to prisoners'
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA school has come under fire for serving what has been described as 'dead leeches' to its students. Pictures of the unappetising meal provided to pupils made their way onto the internet, sparking a debate on Reddit over its unappealing appearance.
A student posting on the platform had a succinct take and said: "My school lunch today in the US (Florida)." Although not immediately clear from the photograph, the food is said to be spaghetti bolognese accompanied by two strips of sweet potato.
Doubts about the meal's palatability raged online, with one individual enquiring: "What are those two black things? Beef jerky?" Once the student clarified that they were actually sweet potato, another added to the thread: "God damn I thought they were like a couple of slices of smoked brisket or something." Meanwhile, a different user quipped: "Ah yes, the Italian classic brisket and spaghetti and meatballs, just like my nonna used to make." The wisecracks did not stop there, with yet another chiming in: "I thought those were dead leeches." A further comment questioned the flavour pairing: "Jesus!
