school dinner
Canteen midday fare
School dinner is a midday meal served to students at school, primarily British usage.
Americans would say school lunch.
The term evokes institutional cafeteria food—often with mixed reputation: The school dinners were terrible, all overcooked vegetables and mystery meat.
In Britain, debates over school dinner quality and nutrition periodically make news.
