What do you feed your kids if they have a school dinner?

Emm-in-a-pickle

My eldest grand-daughter comes here for a few hours most days after school. Some days her mum has done her a packed lunch, other days she`s had a school dinner. Although the school has a fair reputation for its meals, the vegetarian options are very poor, and she`s usually hungry by hometime. It`s hard to plan ahead and anticipate which days she`s "still full" and which days she`ll be "wasting away"!
I always buy loads of fruit, and she`ll graze on that while we sort out a "proper" meal. Every child is different, and sometimes they`ll vary in their food needs from one day to the next. As long as they get a decent diet most of the time a few treats don`t hurt either.

Curry is one of the more popular options here...

Mine refuse to eat 'smelly food'.. they won't eat chilli or anything aromatic either.. they are odd.. I think it is fine to have it as one option but not to have a second option seems wrong. Especially when every other day they have 2 meat options and 1 veggie.
