niit� on ollut mukava lukea. T�n��n kerromme jotain suomalaisen
kouluruoan historiasta.
Suomessa ilmaisella kouluruoalla on pitk�t perinteet. Ensimm�iset koulut
alkoivat tarjota kouluruokaa jo 1800-luvulla. Vuonna 1943 s��dettiin
laki ilmaisesta kouluruoasta, joten vuonna 1948 kaikien koulujen tuli
tarjota l�mmin lounas. Aluksi lounas oli hyvin yksinkertainen. Ainakin
maaseudulla oppilaiden piti tuoda ruokatarvikkeita (marjoja, sieni�,
perunoita, maitoa) koululle. Nyky��n onneksi meid�n ei tarvitse tuoda
mit��n. Kunnat kustantavat kouluruoan. Esimerkiksi kaupungissamme yhden
aterian kulut ovat 0,65e! Se on aika v�h�n kun miettii mit� tuolla
rahalla saa ruokakaupasta. Ja tietysti tarvitaan iso joukko ihmisi�
kokkaamaan ruokaa.
Nyky��n kouluruokailu on osa opetussuunnitelmaa. Meid�n pit�isi oppia
hyvi� tapoja ja maistamaan uusia makuja. Opettajat my�s muistuttavat
koko ajan, ett� ruoka pit�� sy�d� haarukalla ja veitsell�.
T�n��n ruoaksi oli pestokalaa, keitettyj� perunoita ja
vesimeloni-kurkku-persikkasalaattia. Kala oli ihan ok, mutta kaikki
eiv�t tyk�nneet pestokastikkeesta. Suomessa perunat keitet��n yleens�
kuorineen, joten meid�n pit�� kuoria ne. Kaikki eiv�t t�st� tykk��,
koska kuoriessa voi polttaa sormensa. T�n��n tosin perunat eiv�t olleet
kuumia, mutta ihan hyv�n makuisia. Melkein kaikki pitiv�t salaatista ja
erityisesti vesimelonista.
Hi again! Hungry Birds from Finland are back! Thank you for your
comments, it has been very exciting to read them. Today we tell you
something about history on school meals in Finland.
Here in Finland we have long traditions for school meals. First schools
started to serve school meal already in 19th century. In 1943 passed a
law about free school meals so in 1948 every school had to serve warm
meal during school day. First the lunch was quite simple. At least in
countryside pupils had to bring some groceries to school kitchen for
example berries, mushrooms, potatoes, milk etc. Nowadays we don't have
to bring anything. Communities are covering the costs of school lunch.
For example in our town supplies for one portion cost about 0,65e! It's
quite a small amount on money if you think what you can by in 65 cents
from the supermarket. Of course there have to be lot of people cooking
the food!
Today our lunch is part of the curriculum. We should learn good manners
at least. We also should taste new flavours. Also our teachers always
remind us to eat with fork and knife.
Today our lunch was roasted fish with pesto sauce, cooked potatoes and
salad with watermelon, cucumber and peach. The fish was ok but everyone
didn't like the pesto. The fish was called coalfish. In Finland it's
quite common that potatoes are cooked with it's skin and we have to peel
it before we eat it. Everyone don't like to do it because you may burn
your fingers, but cooking potatoes with skin keeps more vitamins inside
it. Today our potatoes didn't burn our fingers but they were ok. Most of
liked todays salad especially the watermelon.
