Aussies Rank Tuck Shop Nostalgia Snacks

[@SlowmovingGiant]

i'm a bit older than the Buzzfeed Rankers so tuckshops in my day didn't have the Mamee noodles, the pasta bowls or even the pizzas. hot food was pies, saus rolls or hot chips with normal salt. Sandwiches, rolls, some bakery things like Boston Buns, Custard Tarts, Apple Pie. High school i scavenged glass drink bottles from around the school grounds to get the 5 cent deposit so i could buy something from the Tuck shop.

[@ALIVIAlive]

A girl at my school used to get a sausage roll lunch order every day Monday to Friday from year 7 to year 12. I was envious haha In my family we got a lunch order once a term on the last day. I did used to get some spare change from dad to buy a snack or drink here and there. My mum insisted on making a packed lunch every day ☺️

[@priyaanjlie]

I want to try chicken salt. That sounds interesting af

It's soooo good. If you get a chance, go for it. They sell them at supermarkets here.

It's so good on hot chips

[@Perfftetysheeeeeets]

In my supermarket they sell it in the Hispanic section. It's Knorr brand and it is wonderful

[@thatsseauxnish_]

I’ve never had it but I imagine it’s simply like chicken bouillon?

[@sairen5121]

Mamee Monster is popular here in Malaysia too since the 90's.

[@farisshah6060]

It’s actually one of the most well known Malaysian exports in Australia. You can even see words in Bahasa Melayu on the packaging like ‘Pedas’ in the video.

[@benhunter4093]

I prefer Ryan’s technique.

[@ElectricPansies]

My school sold deep fried flake, like genuine fish and chip shop flake, until the mid-late 2000s when that fried food ban hit schools. After that, they brought in those iconic mini lasagnas, but they were veggie lasagna and you could also get pasta bolognese. They were so good!

[@alainadacosta1222]

[@helenrobinson8894]

Being a Brit most of those things were new to me but loved hearing about them 😁

[@Flowerprincess147]

Cheese and spinach roll, meat pie, sausage rolls

[@justinesiemer201]

My High school canteens most popular item was a sausage roll in a bread roll with sauce :D Sounds weird but it was soooo good, especially in winter!

[@michaeldesalvo5983]

Same with my highschool! Everyone thinks I'm high when I tell them that sausage rolls in a roll were a thing.

[@rivera5589]

Dam 😂 I never thought u guys in Australia also had that in school lunches ! My school had this and yeas it was sooo good !!!! So I kno wat u mean😅

[@alyshamcalpine2238]

my high school had something similar with a hash brown instead of a sausage roll! god i miss the hash brown rolls

[@ALIVIAlive]

Omg the mini lasagne took me back to primary school. It was absolutely elite!! My school also had zooper doopers for 30c or you could buy a half one for 15c if you were running low on cash lol.. we also had flavoured popcorn. The best thing at high school when canteens got fancy and healthy was a chicken gyros with tzatziki 😋😋😋

[@jumpingfullofjoy]

my school is so overpriced a zooper dooper is $1😭

[@84vintage]

Primary school my order was 2 party pies a chocolate big m & a cinnamon donut. The canteen also did corn on the cob with butter. It was delicious. High school was a ham & cheese toastie or a corn Jack!

[@Kriasr]

I'm in the US (in Missouri) and the big hits for us were usually fries or bosco sticks, which are like bread sticks filled with mozzarella cheese. One of the schools I went to mainly had vending machines for us to eat out of, and the most popular microwave food were giant bean burritos and giant ham and cheese hot pockets or pizza hot pockets

[@lovelifeandcrafts5003]

I'm from the UK. In primary school we used to have a trolley with snacks that the older students were in charge of. It would have things like cheese strings, cheese or toffee rice cakes, choco sticks/candy sticks (used to be pretend cigarettes but due to children swerving to smoke real ones and the fact that they didn't want to encourage kids to smoke, they renamed it), popcorn in sandwich bags that was tied with a ribbon, mini boxes of sweet raisins or a variation of fruit. They would also give you the option of banana, choc or strawberry milkshake. Oh and water. In high-school we had actual 10-15 minute breaks twice a day. The lunch ladies would serve hot drinks like coffee, tea, hot chocolate m, milk or just water. Also had the option of black current or orange squash that were already place on the tables in the lunch hall. You can also have 3 biscuits (usually gave options of 2 kind but could only choose one), fruit or yogurt. There was a separate clubroom where you would chill, play pool, listen to music, pinch the WiFi and it had a snack bar which had a plethora of chocolate bars, crisps and pop which a staff member or someone from the sixth form would run from 7pm till 10 or 11. (each year had curfew times but it would close at 11pm once sixth formers stopped going in).also 15 minute walk from a tesco express. My primary school was a mainstream school with a special needs classroom/unit and my high school was a boarding school for the blind /partially sighted. Now it's a multi-disability school. (mainly autism, ASD, global delay, ADHD etc). 9 years ago i left school, I'm now 25. Lol. Xx

[@tonimckie2037]

Yes! Sohan has it the right way. This is how I eat them, 100% improves it.

[@amandascreativeretreat4574]

We had some of those at my tuck shop. Chiko rolls are definitely not a spring roll, we didn't have them at school but every fish and chip/chicken shop sold them. We didn't have regular sized pies and sausage rolls but party size. And the mini pizzas used to come in their own individual boxes. Red/green frogs, lollipops, clouds and rainbow straps. I haven't seen many things from then around for many years, for sure makes you nostalgic.

[@M3LL0NGUM]

Does anyone else remember the story about the mouse being found under one of those mini frozen pizzas? 😂

[@nicholascrow8133]

Sohan was on point with how to eat a meat pie!

[@Nyquil5]

U.S. here. I remember being a lifeguard at a pool that served those mini pizzas in the late 1970's. It's a good thing I did a lot of swimming or I would have gained a ton of weight from the amount of those I ate during the summers!

[@mirinayagodamu6000]

my primary school did lasagne, but we bulk bought this handmade lasagne and put it in little trays. SO GOOD and so much better than the cheap ones

[@JustHorseyMie]

I've never gone to a school with a canteen/tuck shop. When you were young you brought a packed lunch from home, usually sandwiches. When you got older and were allowed to leave school grounds we used to buy a baguette (just the bread) or share a bag of sweet buns (you got 5 for 10 kr) and people would by these tiny, pre-packaged milkshakes that the grocery store sold. There was also a pakistani man who sold samosa's for 10 kr, so if you had a whole 10 kr you would get that. Never had any samosa's since then that tasted as good.

[@ezekielamaterasu3462]

At Lunchtime, in primary school, you could get small frozen choc milk or orange juice in Summer and Hot chocolate and chicken noodle soup in winter! The best. In High school part of the school was dedicated to vocational education, one of them was Catering, so the tuckshop/canteen always had homemade goods like (the best) Carrot cake, pies, etc

[@gigglebytes]

Pizza pockets these days are nothing like they used to be! My fave was getting frozen choc chill or spearmint milk and eating it with a spoon.

[@chaoweii]

I love that Rizcel is regular now

[@tamarapetersen3779]

My high school the number one tuck shop item was a chip butty. Hot salty chips, a fresh long bread roll, butter and for me tomato and vinegar. Other options were BBQ sauce or gravy. Gravy was my second choice.

[@bethwilliams8748]

Anyone else’s canteen have Milky Freezes? They were basically ice cream zooper doopers with flavours like banana, chocolate, bubblegum etc. They claimed to be healthy because they were made with milk.

[@ALIVIAlive]

Omg I literally remembered these a few days ago and spent ages googling where you can buy them these days. Apparently it’s an NZ company called Moosies. But yeah for some random reason the other day I was craving one. Glad someone else remembers them too!!

[@ALIVIAlive]

Our school also had this thing for a while where we got milk deliveries in little bottles each day to drink at recess. A couple years ago I was talking to my parents about how I used to take a little container of milo to school for my milk. They literally never knew I did that and laughed and laughed at my ingenuity at such a young age (age 6 and 7 hahaha)

[@ptolemyglenn79]

Ryan we call them lollies not candy. This is Australia. What a DB

[@cherylread446]

Yes Sohan! I eat mine the same way,I use the top to dip into the meat,eat the meat,then tomato sauce in the empty pastry shell and eat that

[@norielli12]

I just found that exact brand of chicken salt online and I live in Florida and just have to know for myself what that tastes like! Most those foods were so much better than anything we could’ve had here in the states 😂😢

[@Talmorne]

Mitani is the og chicken salt, you won't reget it!

[@moorenicola6264]

At primary school we all brought in our own packed lunch and in secondary we went home for lunch. If you lived too far away it was a packed lunch again. I remember when they built a canteen which consisted of tables, chairs and a boiling water tap in case you wanted to make your own tea or a cup a soup! Seeing the food here does not make me jealous though!

[@louelsla3070]

The past 2 weeks I’ve been craving my Primary school tuck shop orders 😂 the lasagne specifically 🤣 i used to lovveee the white sauce 😂 I’d eat the white sauce first because it was always on top 😂 then eat the rest 😂 coincidence this video pops up now 😂

[@ChurchBasementSpaghetti]

I can remember buying one of those mini lasagnas in high school and it was all burnt. I'll never forget it . Since then I have never been able to stomach bechamel sauce.

[@Gigiwalters]

In primary school we got chicken nuggets, subway but only on fridays. And my personal favourite. Frozen orange juice in a cup

[@madisonbanks1033]

ngl i thought tuck shop was a typo for truck stop

[@danika6850]

I misread the title as “truck stop” and got really concerned when y’all were talking about leaving school to go to them. I’m like…you’re a child, wouldn’t that be near a highway? With questionable people?😅 Clearly an unfamiliar term in Canada.

[@wilAnderson-d6r]

Im alot older than the buzzfeed crew. We didn’t have pizza or lasagna. We had sunny boys which you can’t get today. Everyone was eating a sausage roll in a roll with sauce

[@markstaud]

As a Canadian who spent a year in Australia I still miss the Meat Pies, can’t believe they didn’t win. Australian “Tomato Sauce” was so awful for me though compared to American Ketchup. It’s not salty enough to what we’re used to. It’s weird it’s so different it really surprised me the first time I had it. I had great food in Australia, just didn’t like Marmite or the Tomato Sauce, every thing else was great.

[@KS-tv6pe]

Me, confused bc i expected this to be a truck stop video 🤣

[@TheFlyingGerbil]

What’s butter sauce to go on chips? I used to love letting a bit of butter melt on mine so am sure I’d love it

[@terilynemarroquin8050]

This fluffy, sassy old broad has been a fan for years. But now my soul is broken I don't know if it will ever be mended. Not sure if I have missed something but I haven't seen Zeda for a while and I miss her terribly. If there is a video that explains why she is no longer on the show please tell me where to find it if not please create one. I think that each of you and your own way is unique and talented and I love you very much but Zita was my favorite I don't care what anybody says. She offered something to the show that was outside the box and that is rare in that industry. So like I said if there's a video explaining I'd like to know where I can find it and if not please inform us as to what happened. And it would also be nice to know if her and Tom are still together.

[@samanthahughes5590]

That's a chiko roll.... Lmao not an abomination. Iconic Aussie.

[@ruesamz]

[@Talmorne]

My school did full size pizzas you could buy a square slice of, the two choices of flavour was hawaiian or bqq chicken, always went with the bqq chicken as a kid XD Either that or I would get a pie or cheese toastie

[@janetshepherd7872]

My tuck shop order was either a sausage roll with sauce or the mini pizza. Now I’m in my 40’s with a kid, and their tuck shop option is Subway one day a week. 😂 *edit omg the lasagna! I haven’t thought about that in like 35 years 😮

[@thatsseauxnish_]

So they actually have raw ramen as a packaged snack. Interesting.

[@Talmorne]

I've seen it as a pretty popular snack in Asian countries as well so we probably borrowed it from there XD

I’m so confused by some of the commentary. Was playing while having school lunch an option? I’m from the US, I grew up in the 90s and have kids in school now. Lunch/cafeteria has always been separate from recess/playground. I would never think of food being portable as a bonus lol we just always sat down to eat. If we didn’t I probably never would have eaten.

[@dandles2010]

Wow, those foods looked great. I'm trying to figure out what a Tuck Shop equivalent is in America. We have none of that.

[@smokeandquills]

It’s because generally Australian schools don’t have sit-down lunches like cafeteria style like you guys have in the US and most of the UK. So here, we either brought a packed lunch (and recess snacks, drink etc) or you could buy it from the canteen (a “tuck shop” is just a slang term for a canteen) but at my school in the 90s/early 2000s, we just called it the canteen. They had everything you wanted pretty much - hot and cold lunch food, sandwiches, chips, pies, drinks, chocolate, ice creams etc) and we also had vending machines as well for a quick bite to eat. Some schools here, maybe boarding or certain private schools may have more of a cafeteria/sit-down type lunch program where everyone eats the same but mostly, it’s just not a thing here and never has been. It could have something to do with our climate perhaps, I’m not sure, coz as kids we just always ate our lunch outside in the playground!
