8. School lunch

Children of the world eat the school lunch. As for the school lunch, nourishment management and hygiene management are substantial. The beginning of Japanese school lunch is the Nara era. And the school lunch is continues until the present age.

The school lunch prevents the lifestyle-related disease. And it forms dietary habits. The Japanese school lunch is eaten from a kindergarten to a junior high school. The school lunch was stopped all over the wartime, but it was reopened by support of America. By rapid economic growth, the school lunch of Japan developed. By a season and an annual function, a menu changes. As for the school lunch, food culture changed by the times. Therefore the school lunch can know a difference and the history of the generation. There is the place where local cooking and a luxurious dish are provided depending on an area. The recent school lunch can eat a foreign dish. In addition, there is the place providing the vegetables which a child made at school with school lunch. The school lunch is distributed by a child.


The school lunch is good, but there are problems. It is that there are children leaving school lunch. And there is the problem of school lunch costs, too. The school lunch is not free. A parent bears it. But there is the parent who does not pay school lunch costs. Therefore quality of the school lunch is down. The school reuse the leftover food of the school lunch as manure. There are three causes of the leftover food of the school lunch. One, food are likes and dislikes. Two, rice do not be popular. Three, there is the student who does not think school lunch to be delicious.


I compare the school lunch of all the countries of the world.
In Japan, rice and a fish are the center.
In Korea, vegetables are the center. It is kimchi in particular.
In the U.K., taste of the material is kept alive.
In France, French fries are the center. And the dessert is substantial, too.
In Kenya, avocado is the center.
In Ghana, rice is only.
In the United States, oil is the center.
In Brazil, a bean is the center.
The school lunch of Japan is blessed when I compare the school lunch of each country. And it is abundant nourishment. The school lunch of each country of each country is characteristic.

Japan

Korea

France

Ghana

The school lunch is important for children. I hope that all the countries of the world can take the equal school lunch.

7．Unpopular Japanese food

I introduce unpopular Japanese foods from a foreigner. I introduce natto first. Natto is unsightly and the foreigner says that a smell is bad. Why do you think almost foreigner dislike natto? The reason is fermented food. But the natto is a health food. The natto is made of soybeans. Natto is got close as local cooking in Japan. Natto was used for Japan as a military meal at wartime time. You can get an effect by eating natto. The bowels get better. A bone is made. I want foreigners to eat natto by all means.

Next, I introduce a sea urchin. The sea urchin is one of the Japanese three major delicacies. It is a processed sea urchin. And it is a sea urchin produced in Fukui. The seasonal time is autumn from spring. The Japanese people often eats sea urchin with sushi. But the sea urchin is unpopular with foreigners. An appearance and the smell of the sea urchin are not liked. It has resistance that the foreigner eats sea urchin raw.　A texture and the taste of the sea urchin are not popular, too. I think so too. I have eaten sea urchin. I did not think that a sea urchin was delicious. I do not recommend it personally.

The third, I introduce umeboshi. The umeboshi is a kind of the pickles. Umeboshi is a health food. The umeboshi is made from a plum. As for the history of the plum, China is autochthonism. The ancient Chinese people used the plum as Chinese medicine than food. In Japan of the age of civil strife, they used umeboshi as a preservation meal. In addition, they used it as food poisoning and disease prevention. In Japan of modern times, umeboshi were loved as taste of the hometowns by soldiers. In Showa period, lunch box of rice and umeboshi became basic. The preservation characteristics of the umeboshi are high. If the preservation environment of the umeboshi is good, we can eat even the umeboshi 100 years ago. The umeboshi is food with the friendly feeling for a Japanese. But a foreigner does not like umeboshi. Umeboshi is sour. And a smell is no use. And an appearance is bad. It is unpopular from a foreigner for such a reason. I play sports. When I was tired, I eat umeboshi. Umeboshi is effective in relieving fatigue. Please eat umeboshi. Please eat Japanese foods. Please do not dislike Japanese foods.

6．Animation/Manga

The meal manga is written about food. The manga is written a social problem, an environmental problem, the culture about the meal. There are the manga that wrote the recipe of the dish. The beginning of meal comics is 1970. I introduce Japanese meal manga.
In Japan of the 1980s, a gourmet boom was born. It is comics to have got on the flow. The name of manga is "Oishinbo". Wide food including Japanese style and the Western style is introduced. The sales of the book broke through million books. "Oishinbo" has high popularity and is unfolded in an animated cartoon and a drama.

I introduce different manga. The name of manga is "Cooking Papa". This manga was published serially in 1986. It is sold to 125 volumes now. It is homey manga. "Cooking Papa" is introduced with a recipe and the picture of the dish every one episode. The stage of the story is Japan. A restaurant, a sightseeing spot, the festival, of various parts of Japan is introduced. The ingredients of the dish are introduced by high-quality food and the cheap food. This manga became the animated cartoon, too.

These two are published serially from old days. I have read a cooking papa. This manga are very interesting. "Araiwa" of the chief character can make a dish. But wife can not cook a dish. "Araiwa" which is a husband is manga to make a dish. He is good at cooking a dish and seems to be very delicious. How to make is written and can easily make it. The advice is written, too. "Cooking Papa" introduce a lot of dishes with the idea. I can make it very happily. I think an animated cartoon may be more interesting. Speaking of a recent gourmet animated cartoon, "toriko". Finally I introduce "toriko".

"Toriko" is the battle comics that featured the theme of a meal. The ingredients are fanciful. It is sold about 20 million copies. Contents of manga is capture ingredients and gather. I have looked by manga and an animation. An animation is more interesting than manga. It is more powerful than manga.

Manga is Japanese culture. There is a lot of other manga. Please read Japanese manga. Please be interested in meal manga. You can have new knowledge by reading a meal manga. I think that there is new discovery.
