BY AISHA ABDILLAHI & ANNA PARK


What do you eat for lunch at school? Do you bring your own food from home, or do you buy something from the school canteen? Most students probably prefer the second option, because the school canteen offers a variety of delicious and affordable food that can satisfy your hunger and taste buds. But do you know what is the best selling food in the school canteen, and why these foods are so popular among students?

In this article, we will explore some of the most common and favourtie food items that students love to eat at school, and what makes them their favourite.

These were the results that were collected from the respondents:
