When I walked by Pestalozzischule-Braunschweig I was wondering... the kids going there have to bring all their snacks.
If forgotten, well, either someone shares with you or you go hungry.
Oh! Certainly! That´s a long word, Pestalozzischule... it just means it´s a school in street Pestalozzi :-)
Where I went to school there was a little Kiosk nearby, we called it Aunt Emma (Tante Emma). No idea, though, if the lady´s name really was Emma!
In the break you could sneak away and get a "Negerkuss-Brötchen", a whippet cookie in a bun.
Or water ice...
... and other unhealthy stuff.
The place was always busy and teachers just ignored you when you had such food :-)
Actually certainly you were not allowed to leave the school grounds.
These kids have but Fräuleinwunder nearby, a rather expensive Café where you only get whole meals. A place I thought of as niminy-piminy.
But guess I was wrong, look!
How nice is this?!
Did you have a kiosk near your school or did you go hungry when you forgot your snacks/brekkie?
Lion of the day - care for a cuppa? (And yes, that is Australia in the background - as fly swat)
Thankful/happy: After a grumpy start the lady from tax and revenue office became nice and helpful, at EHD the lady was friendly and helpful right from the beginning :-), I got a very surprised and honest "thank you" for putting the checkout divider behind my tomatoes! It´s the little things!

For a little while there was a shop opposite the school and it was very popular for buying "bad stuff".
I personally never ate lunch. Mum said that if I was hungry I could come home to get some but I never did. My brother and sister used to go home for lunch most days. It saved Mum packing lunches. In fact she gave up on packing my lunch when she found out I was feeding it to the hens each afternoon because I had forgotten to eat it.
We did have huge country breakfasts.
Oh, wow, I could not function without lunch! Let alone forget about it!
But then for breakfast we only had snacks.
Lucky hens you had :-)
We were lucky to have street vendors to fill in on the days we forgot our snacks at home.
Right, you have all those lovely food stalls!
When I went to school 300 years ago I think we went home for lunch but David and Aimee had a canteen at their school where they could get lunch sometimes as a treat ✨ It definitely is the smaller kindnesses that make the world a nicer place ✨
Nice lion cup :)
When I went to school in South Africa we had a tuck-shop in school where we could buy sandwiches, chips, chocolates....can't remember what else. I used to take my own sandwiches to school usually.
:-) Grace, 300 years ago, now you keep me calculating! No canteen in our schools (back then at least)...
Sami, I guess tuck shop and kiosk is more or less the same, right? Yes, usually I brought my own food, too.
In primary and middle school the locations were too far to walk to a store, out in the country primarily. When I went to high school, it was possible to walk out to a shop, as that was in town.
In primary school we were not allowed to go outside, so it wasn´t a drama that there was no kiosk or such nearby.
Love that cheerful coffee pot! That would be enough to really brighten up my day!
:-) Yes, I love it, too! Oh, it´s say... over 10 years old!
