00:00Today we're eating a hundred years of school lunches from all around the world
00:03We'll be traveling to and trying foods from countries like Russia, Mexico, France, Egypt and many more to find out which country has the best
00:10school lunch starting with America
00:13So this is what a school lunch looks like in the US and meanwhile
00:17This is what a school lunch looks like in Japan
00:20So the average school lunch might include sushi, sashimi, miso soup, pickled vegetables and juice
00:26But compared to 100 years ago, they served boiled fish and rice
00:41I have never seen a school lunch this healthy in my life before
00:46I'm actually so happy we're doing this video because we're on a mission to find the best school lunch in the world
00:50Fun fact the average school lunch here cost 400 yen, which is roughly around $3
00:56Alright guys, I think it's time to dig into the fish
00:59All right, so I'm gonna eat the sushi and we're gonna try the salmon sashimi
01:02You guys know this is my first time eating raw fish. This is actually our first time too. Taste test in 3, 2, 1
01:09Oh
01:23Okay, I really tried but I can't eat anything cold we love Japanese food, but just not when it's raw
01:29So not only is Japan famous for their sushi, but they're also famous for their samurai and we're actually gonna go meet one right now
01:37Excuse me
01:43No, it's Lord Shogun
01:46Did you use that to cut the sushi? No, but you're gonna use this to cut that
01:50But I'm not strong enough to do that. Listen child the power comes from here
01:56But only when it's tempered with this
02:02You got this
02:07That was sick!
02:08So we're cutting aside, what are we ranking Japan's school lunches?
02:12B. We're definitely gonna find some countries with better food. Next country
02:20So we're in Mexico now and a typical school lunch here is chips and guac, tacos and enchiladas. An average school lunch cost
02:2820 pesos, which is roughly $1. Let's try it out
02:33Oh
02:35Oh my gosh
02:38I'm gonna wash it all down with the spicy cacao beverage. Oh
02:42Has an extra kick to it and in case you guys are wondering why there's a mariachi band behind us
02:47That's because it's Tanner's birthday
02:49And we need to celebrate
03:03And in Mexico we celebrate birthdays like this
03:18We're gonna rank Mexico's school lunch in A?
03:25A plus? That's better
03:33An average school lunch in the UK consists of fish and chips and mushy peas
03:41Before we dig in, a school lunch here costs three dollars. That's expensive for just chicken tenders and fries
03:47That's fish and chips. Well, at least it has a side of guac. That's also just mushy peas
03:52Wait, you guys look good. Why can't boys like this go to my school?
03:54This guacamole is actually pretty good. That's not guacamole, that's peas
03:56That's good? Yeah, it's really good
03:58Okay, but what do you think is better? The school lunch now or the school lunch 100 years ago?
04:00Uh, meat pie. It's literally just pie with meat
04:02That's a good one
04:04It's a good one
04:06It's a good one
04:08It's a good one
04:10It's a good one
04:12It's a good one
04:14It's a good one
04:16It's a good one
04:18It's a good one
04:20It's literally just pie with meat
04:22That's disgusting
04:24I think we're gonna stick with this
04:26Cheers
04:32You don't like that Alex?
04:34Honestly, the fish looks pretty good so let's try that
04:36Crunchy
04:38This fish is definitely undercooked
04:40Did somebody say undercooked?
04:42Well, I know how to fix that
04:44Get out of the way
04:46Insidio
04:48Oh shit
04:50Lumos
04:52What do I do?
04:54Fire extinguisher
05:04Guys, the food's ready
05:06Finally, it's cooked
05:08Wait, Tanner, what are you doing?
05:10What? No food's going to waste here
05:12Um, we're gonna put England on a C tier
05:14Hopefully the next country is better than this
05:19As you can tell from the snow
05:21We're now in Russia
05:23And an average school lunch here consists of
05:25Borscht, which is beet soup
05:27Broschki, which is stuffed pastries
05:29And rye bread
05:31We're so excited to try this that we even got someone who's actually from Russia
05:33To tell us if the school lunch is accurate or not
05:35It's very tasty
05:37Where'd you learn that?
05:39You learn a lot of things in Russian prison
05:41Kushi
05:43Let's dig in, Tanner
05:45Just like in Russia
05:48This broschki is amazing
05:50Tanner's already got blood splatter on his ass
05:52Let me heat it up
05:58On top of all the snow here
06:00They also have wild hogs roaming around everywhere
06:02And also bears
06:04Let's fight them bears
06:06What?
06:08School lunch made of kushi
06:10Tanner, would you prefer this
06:12Or the meal they had a hundred years ago?
06:14A hundred years ago they had kasha
06:16Which is basically porridge, right?
06:18Yes
06:20And what they had to drink?
06:22Good old vodka
06:24They would serve kids that?
06:26Yes
06:28That's Russia
06:30You okay?
06:32In school, after we eat lunch
06:34We make snow angels
06:36It's cold
06:38Either a frostbite on my ass
06:40Or there's something biting my ass
06:46Cheers
06:48Russia's school lunch was very interesting
06:50So we're going to rank it in A
06:52That was my food
06:54As you guys can tell
06:56We're in China now
06:58And a school lunch here consists of
07:00Steamed buns, bok choy
07:02Eggs and tomatoes
07:04And Chinese styled pork
07:06Now the reason why we're in a classroom and there's students sleeping behind us
07:08Is because in China
07:10You're actually allowed to eat lunch in a classroom
07:12And take a nap after
07:14Another thing about China is
07:16They do family styled lunches
07:18Students can share with each other
07:20I didn't know that, we're from there
07:22And we've eaten school lunches in China before
07:24And out of love, they feed food to each other
07:26He's had too much love
07:28Woah
07:40He's eating it like a pig
07:42You know, for all this food
07:44It only costs 5 lemonbees
07:46Which is roughly around 75 cents
07:48You know, all this food
07:50Is putting me in a food coma
07:52So I think we should all take a nap
07:58Sean
08:02What's that poking me?
08:04Chill, it's just my phone
08:06Oh, okay
08:16All jokes aside
08:18China's definitely getting an S tier
08:22So we're in France now
08:24And an average school lunch here
08:26Consists of
08:28A side salad
08:30And a baguette
08:32So France has one of the most expensive school lunches
08:34In the world
08:36Which is roughly 8 dollars
08:38Honestly, this looks like something that belongs in a fancy restaurant
08:40It's an egg pie
08:42It's an egg pie?
08:44Yeah
08:48Woah
08:50Salad for the ladies
08:52Out of everything here, he eats a salad
08:54Woah
08:56That thing is hard
08:58It's literally bruising
09:02Oh my god
09:04It's actually really hard
09:06And now, it's time to try the snail
09:08So the correct way to eat it is
09:10Take a toothpick, find a snail meat inside
09:12It sounds nasty
09:14Oh, I got something there
09:16Oh, I got something
09:18Oh, it looks so slimy
09:20Ah
09:22I don't want to be here
09:24I've never tried snail before
09:26So I'm probably not going to try it now
09:28Caleb? Not me
09:30Alex? Me neither
09:32Then who's going to try it?
09:34I will
09:36What gives me that?
09:42So good
09:44And a hundred years ago, they had frog legs
09:46Oh, frog legs
09:50Give me that
10:04They might rank the school meal an S
10:06But we're going to give it a B
10:08Let's go to the next country
10:10So we're in Brazil now
10:12And our school lunch here would typically be
10:14A chicken wrap, quinoa, veggie sticks, and hummus
10:16So all school lunches in Brazil are free
10:18And on top of that, a lot of kids eat outside
10:20So they can play football afterwards
10:22Yeah
10:24Tanner, what is that?
10:26Football
10:28No, this is football
10:30No, that's soccer, this is football
10:32They literally only call it that in the U.S.
10:34Everywhere else around the world
10:36Like this video if you call it soccer
10:38And subscribe if you call it football
10:40Let's dig in
10:42This rice looks healthy
10:44This isn't rice, these are seeds
10:46Oh, this lettuce wrap looks good
10:50This meal is like super healthy
10:52But a hundred years ago, you want to know what they ate?
10:54What is that?
10:56Black bean stew with pork belly
10:58Okay, now this all of a sudden looks good
11:00So because football is the most popular sport in Brazil
11:02We're going to be breaking a world record
11:04So this is the world's farthest football trick shot
11:06At 140 feet
11:08And I'm going to try one at 145 feet
11:16Yeah
11:18World record aside
11:20We rank Brazil's school lunch an A
11:22In India, an average school lunch is
11:24Flatbread, rice, lentil stew
11:26And vegetables
11:28So India actually has the world's largest free lunch program
11:30Meaning school lunch is free there
11:32Yeah, we love India
11:34Woo
11:36Let's dig in
11:40Oh my god
11:42Isn't that good?
11:44Check this out, a little life hack right here
11:46Over the rice?
11:50Now, would you guys prefer the school lunch now
11:52Or the school lunch 100 years ago?
11:54So 100 years ago
11:56They served chicken curry with yogurt
11:58Oh my god
12:00That's really good
12:02You're eating everything, Alan
12:04So one of India's biggest holidays is Holi
12:06And we're going to go celebrate that right now
12:08So a couple years ago, me and Alan celebrated Holi
12:10Here are the pictures
12:12I'm frustrated
12:143, 2, 1
12:20Alright, what do you guys think?
12:22Don't I look a little bit like Hulk?
12:24More like Shrek
12:26Woah
12:28Okay, she's not coming to the next country with us
12:30On top of my glow up
12:32I would put India in the A tier
12:34In Italy, school lunches are
12:36Borderline gourmet
12:38They typically serve spaghetti, chicken parmesan
12:40A salad, grapes
12:42And garlic bread
12:44Now this looks like it belongs in a 5 star restaurant
12:46Let's see if it tastes like one
12:50Oh my god
12:52Red notes in my mouth
12:54This is the best side salad I've ever had
12:56Yeah, eat salad
13:00This is the only side salad I've ever had
13:02To make this meal even more perfect
13:04It only costs 3 euros
13:06Why can't they serve these kind of school lunches in the US?
13:08If it wasn't this good 100 years ago
13:10Back then they served bread with olive oil
13:12Chickpeas and wine
13:14Dang, I also forgot Italy also has pizza
13:16And so many other more delicious dishes
13:22This is my noodle
13:24No
13:26No
13:28What the hell is happening?
13:32What are you doing dude?
13:34Did y'all just kiss?
13:36No
13:40You know the food is S tier when they're willing to kiss
13:42Let's just move on to the next country
13:48For school lunches in Vietnam
13:50They serve Vietnamese Pho
13:52Which is noodles with broth, vegetables and meat
13:54So Vietnam is one of the only
13:56Tropical places in the world that has snow
13:58And we actually have someone
14:00Who went to school in Vietnam
14:02To tell us if the school lunch is accurate or not
14:04Why are we squatting Sean?
14:06Because people in Vietnam love to do the Asian squat while they eat
14:08And would you say the Phở Rạch Bòn is an accurate school lunch?
14:10No
14:12It's called Phở Rạch Bếch
14:14Ăn cho đứt bự
14:16How do you know Vietnamese if you're Mongolian?
14:18I'm excited to try this
14:20It smells delicious
14:22It comes with a bunch of different meats
14:24I can't do this Asian squat for much longer man
14:26Hey
14:28You guys are lucky you gotta eat this everyday for school lunch
14:30No this was once in a while
14:32Would you say this is an accurate school lunch from 100 years ago?
14:34For the most part
14:36This is Banh Xeo
14:38What is that? It's like a pancake
14:40It's a Vietnamese pancake
14:42It comes with shrimp
14:44I'd go back 100 years to eat this
14:46I remember when it snowed in school we would have snowball fights
14:483, 2, 1, GO
15:02Alright
15:04But what are we thinking of ranking Vietnam's school lunches?
15:06Vietnam's the beef or the bao
15:08So is it both?
15:10Next country
15:12In Pakistan an average school lunch is
15:14Chapli Kebabs with eggs and rice
15:16All of this only costs $1
15:18Alright let's eat
15:20Yes I'm so excited
15:22Oh my god
15:24Dude the meat melts in my mouth
15:26I wish I could eat this everyday
15:28And the reason why our dogs here
15:30Because you can actually bring your dog to school
15:32In Pakistan
15:34You just made that up
15:36Yeah I made that up so he could be in the scene
15:38Now it's time to try the rice
15:40Wow even the rice tastes better
15:42Time for the eggs
15:44This is good
15:46This is actually very different than what they served 100 years ago
15:48Barley with lentil stew and flatbread
15:50Shine
15:52Honestly this looks more like dog food
15:54And another fun fact is
15:56Pakistan is obsessed with cricket
15:58Tanner where's the cricket?
16:00Right here
16:02We meant the sport
16:04The sport cricket
16:06You know the one with the paddle
16:08Now we're actually going to play cricket
16:103, 2, 1
16:12Go
16:14That's a boundary six
16:20Boundary six
16:26Now that we got that out of the way
16:28We're going to rank Pakistan A tier
16:30Next country
16:32In Spain a typical school lunch is
16:34A rice dish with seafood and chicken
16:36So school lunches in Spain cost
16:38ÂŁ35 per month
16:40Which is roughly around $38
16:42That's expensive
16:44No per month so it's like $1.50 a day
16:46There's some chicken right here
16:48That's good
16:50It's like a little lemony
16:52I think my favorite part is the rice
16:54That's an oyster now
16:56This thing tastes good
17:04You know what you used to say Tanner?
17:06Some bull testicles
17:08Would you guys prefer the modern school lunch
17:10Or the school lunch from a hundred years ago
17:12It's like a cheese platter with
17:14Fruits and honey
17:16Honey just makes everything
17:18Taste better
17:20Get that healthy stuff out of my face dude
17:24It's time to try to clamp Tanner
17:28Tanner save some for us
17:34I'm not fat
17:36I'm big boned and I'm losing weight
17:40Your fat ass just moved the table
17:42Yeah you just ruined the school lunch
17:46He may have ruined the school lunch for us
17:48But we're still going to rank it an S
17:50In South Korea a school lunch might include
17:52Kimchi and bibimbap
17:54Which is mixed rice with eggs
17:56Vegetables and beef
17:58This looks good
18:00Well it's much different from what they were serving a hundred years ago
18:02Which was soybean paste, kimchi
18:04And multigrain rice
18:06Glad I'm not eating that
18:08Bro
18:10I have actually never tried kimchi before
18:12Let's go
18:16It tastes like spicy cabbage
18:20Wow
18:22The average school lunch in Korea costs
18:244,000 won which is around 3 dollars
18:26I'd pay 3 dollars for that
18:28This tastes so good it makes me just want to
18:30Oh
18:32I'm going to try kimchi
18:34With egg
18:36Uh oh
18:40Eat the whole thing
18:42Oh
18:44Oh my god
18:46Wow
18:48That's so good it's making me want to
18:56For dessert we're eating honeycomb cookies
18:58And yes this is actually something they eat
19:00But first we're going to see which one of us
19:02Can cut our shapes without breaking it
19:04I'm going to win
19:06Oh this thing is hard
19:08Who made this
19:10I literally have the easiest shape
19:12I shouldn't have picked the umbrella
19:14Oh my god
19:16Alright I fell down
19:18I can't even get my freaking shape out
19:20I'm done I don't even care
19:22This literally tastes so good
19:24Overall we're going to put South Korea
19:26On the B tier
19:28Now let's move on to the next country
19:30So we're in Egypt now
19:32And the average school lunch here is
19:34Mixed rice pasta with lentils
19:36And salad
19:38So in Egypt you actually pay 40 dollars
19:40To be able to eat school lunch for the entire year
19:42Which according to my scientific calculations
19:44Would be 22.2222222
19:46Alright Caleb we get it
19:48Let's dig in
19:50I have never seen food like this before
19:52This is very unique
19:54Woah this is good
19:56It's actually good? Yes
19:58And I don't like it because I'm lactose intolerant
20:00I like the figs
20:02This fig is good
20:04So this is koshari
20:06Hit my line
20:08Oh it's not bad
20:10But in ancient times for drinks
20:12They would just drink water out of the Nile
20:14And for food they would eat Nile river fish
20:16And since mummies are famous in Egypt
20:18They would also eat mummy jerky
20:20Okay
20:22You're joking
20:24Why? Because they considered mummy flesh
20:26To have healing powers
20:28And that's what we're going to try next
20:30What? Inside that casket Caleb
20:32I'm trying it
20:34Woah
20:38What the hell was that?
20:40Caleb
20:42I don't care dead or alive
20:44You can catch these hands
20:46That's a face off
20:48We're going to put Egypt on the B tier
20:50But that B down was an S tier
20:52Now let's move on to the next country
20:54A typical school lunch in Thailand
20:56Would be half Thai, which is stir fried noodles
20:58With chicken or seafood
21:00And of course Thai tea
21:02And the best part about all this food
21:04It only costs 25 baht
21:06Which is around 70 cents
21:08What? A Thai tea here costs 7 dollars
21:12Oh man
21:14Oh it's so good
21:16This meal is cheap
21:18Mmm
21:20Mmm
21:22This is a little spicy but I like it
21:24It is so good
21:26There's so much flavor in each bite
21:28But 100 years ago for school lunch they only served coconut milk curry
21:30What? That looks pretty good
21:34Mmm
21:36This is good
21:38You know what the best part about Thailand is?
21:40Even though they have all this delicious food
21:42In some schools after you eat lunch
21:44They make you exercise so you can stay healthy
21:46So kickboxing is a very popular thing there
21:48That's what we're about to go do
21:50We're all going to make our best move
22:02What's the capital of Thailand?
22:04Bangkok
22:08Let's see what you got Tanner
22:10We got this Tanner beat him up
22:12Wait
22:14Just make a move
22:16Make a move
22:18Whoa
22:20Whoa
22:24Alright even after all that
22:26Thailand's still getting an A
22:28Next country
22:30In Indonesia an average school lunch consists of
22:32Fried noodles with eggs
22:34Mixed vegetables with chicken
22:36And a very special coffee
22:38The school lunch here costs 8,000 rupiah
22:40Which according to my scientific calculations is around 50 cents
22:42That's a heck of a deal
22:44Let's dig in
22:46The deal is just to make the food taste even better
22:48Why do you have to eat the fork?
22:50What that mouth do dog
22:52What that mouth do dog
22:54What that mouth do dog
22:56Look at that mouth
22:58You need some help son
23:00Time to try the egg
23:06Well that egg was good
23:08I'm starting to think that school lunches are better everywhere
23:10Oh yeah
23:12But compared to a hundred years ago
23:14All they served was spicy hard boiled eggs
23:16Those are good
23:18This is actually one of the most expensive coffees in the world
23:20But before you drink it
23:22I have to tell you something
23:24What?
23:26You promise you won't drink it if I tell you?
23:28Yeah I like coffee
23:30It's cat poop coffee
23:32Actual cat poop?
23:34Yes
23:36So this little guy eats the coffee beans
23:38And the coffee beans are then taken and roasted
23:40Into the coffee you're drinking right now
23:42Yeah and the reason why they do it
23:44Is because it makes it less acidic and sweeter
23:46I wanna know who thought it was a good idea
23:48To pick up cat poop
23:50And decide I'm gonna drink this
23:52Yeah who was the first person to do that?
23:54Sean?
23:56Mom?
23:583, 2, 1
24:04Honest thoughts?
24:06I don't think it's that bad
24:08Am I weird for kinda liking it?
24:10I just prefer it without the cat poop
24:12But not me?
24:14Okay cat poop aside
24:16We're all gonna put this in the A tier
24:18Now let's move on to the next country
24:20So now we're in Turkey
24:22And a typical school lunch here consists of
24:24Kebab with rice pilaf and
24:26Tzatziki
24:28Oh I want this one
24:30Wait why is there only two? I thought we had three
24:32I got it right here
24:34Wait
24:36Tanner what is this?
24:38Turkey you said you guys were eating turkey
24:40No we're eating school lunches from Turkey
24:44Get that outta here Tanner
24:52Okay then
24:54Wow
24:56Well an interesting thing about Turkey is
24:58They offer free school lunches
25:00To students who have to travel a long distance to get to school
25:02And to those people who can't afford it
25:04Oh no
25:06Don't do that
25:12Alright on 3 what would we rank this?
25:143, 2, 1
25:16B
25:18Well
25:20Let's move on to the next country
25:26So we're back in the US and a modern school lunch here
25:28Would be burgers, fries, cookies
25:30And milk
25:32Oh my god the milk is frozen
25:34This meat is 100% spoiled
25:36We've been eating US school lunches our entire lives
25:38So we don't need to finish this meal
25:40To know that it's going on the bottom of our tier list
25:42But now it's finally time
25:44For us to pick the best school lunch in the world
25:46I'm gonna have to go with Italy
25:48What? Why?
25:50The presentation of the food along with how it tasted
25:52And how healthy it was
25:54I personally like China the most because of the
25:56Apportion you got, how tasty it was for me
25:58And how you get the nap after you eat lunch
26:00Why don't you guys decide?
