I see an opportunity for a black market here.

Lets call it the 'Toastie Underground'. The first codephrase to identify each other is 'the cheese melts slower in winter'

Let the Resistance begin!

Nah just have it out in the open and call it Hamsterdam. So long as the kids brown bag that nasty stuff everyone else will look the other way.

The red light district at that school will be where you can get the sausage rolls and cheesies still

This happened in the UK.

After J. Oliver's school-dinner reforms, some mums were passing chips and other bits through the school fence to their kids.

"Don't take me crisps!!"

Oh yeah. I started to listen to british podcasts a bit more in the last few years. Every so often people will refer to that episode of time. It really seemed to damage J.Oliver who, i can only believe, must have had the best intentions.

I'd be mildly surprised if it garners that big a reaction over here though, we surely find the healthier options more acceptable than our counterparts. The contact i've had with family and their diets in the UK has been... eye opening.

If not, then i reckon i can rig up a toastie maker disguised inside a teachers suitcase, then sell toasties out the back of the science lab. No-one ever suspects the science department!

I think they should still sell them but they should be $40 per sanger and have "best of walmart" type warning images stapled onto the plain paper bag.

School will never need to run another fundraiser ever again

When I lived in the country, the canteen didn't charge that much less than that. $6.20 for a toasty, $5.50 for a sausage roll, $4.50 for one of those small nippy choccy milks. And besides the nippy, they didn't even use decent ingredients. The sausage roll was just a microwaved one from one of those jumbo party packs, and the bread was the 80c one from Coles, and they used that plastic like American cheese

So it's true. WA is not really part of Australia.

I love how these stories are written in a way to just outrage people on Facebook

[โ€“] ace_garp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Agreed.

Ham, cheese and tomato is the superior toastie.

Of course, wait until you are 18 to partake in this delicious sometimes-food.
