Contents: There are several lunch items for sale here: small pie with meat, a small pizza, and something called "sausage in dough."
Submitted by: Darya
Notes: Those all seem like items you would find in the USA as well. They are sort of like calzones or pot pies, pizza is the same, and the last item is like "pigs in a blanket."
It's Gary Larson's lunch lady!
ReplyDeleteYeah, she would fit in nicely in a "Far Side" cartoon.
ReplyDeletein the uk 'sausages in dough' are called sausage rolls they sausage meat wrapped in pastry.
ReplyDeleteWe also call the last item (pigs in a blanket) kolaches.
ReplyDeletehaha very stereotypical lunch lady!
ReplyDeleteOh, gosh... We've exported our poor eating habits to the world! No wonder they don't like us!
ReplyDeleteThe thing on the left looks like piroshki, which is yeast dough stuffed with meat (and maybe vegetables) and then baked/fried. Very tasty, and depending on the filling and cooking method, could be healthy or not.
ReplyDeleteYUM!
ReplyDeleteI live in Texas and we call those sausage-in-dough things kolaches. Every donut shop sells 'em.
ReplyDeleteThis was one the better school lunch foods in Russia, one of the few that kid could eat without their teacher threatening to give them a failing grade for behavior (behavior was graded) if they don't eat. Paired with warm tea, this was a nice lunch, 1000 times better than farina with milk (mannaya kasha) they served at other times.
ReplyDeleteI say this looks eadible at least its better than milk soup with boiled pasta or barley soup
ReplyDeleteNobody noticed the bounties, mars, twix, snickers & co. bars behind on the shelf? Haha.
