1. Whitebread and Nutella or whitebread and jam are pretty common.

2. The [Petit Écolier](https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcTe39dcu6s0ckLMzFrc0sUISguzlUFDG9DR3MOMBWC2XjOXx8xUJej4uS_eQXlpMCGQmfbvf4mhW9LCRwlxfDU4y17jfOo_Jt5bi7RBTESlbi3Hu5nQWcihrA&usqp=CAY) biscuits are a classic, and it literally translates to “the little schooler”.

3. For most children in Sicily, they finish school and then go home and have lunch! School usually finishes at 1 or 2pm.

   Typical lunch is of course,pasta.

   Many children might have a snack later on, say 4-5pm.That might be a piece of fruit,a yogurt or a ‘merendina’ which is usually a small cake.

   Some children might have a small sandwich with ham or salami,or a brioche roll.

   Sweet is more popular than savoury I’d say, based on the kids I know anyway!

4. [O’boy](https://www.oboy.se/) chocolate milk (classic since the 1960’s) and [Skogaholmslimpa](https://www.skogaholm.se/vara-goda-brod/limpa/skogaholmslimpa/) wheat bread sandwiches with cheese, marmalade or salami.

5. In Sweden, fruits, sandwiches and thick fruit soup called kräm is common as after school snacks.

6. English here.

   I have fond memories of hanging out at my mates house after school year seven to nine, playing Red Alert 2 etc. His mum would always look after us and bring up a tray of buttered toast, apple slices, a glass of orange juice each, some chocolate, what have you. Traditional? No idea. But we loved it.
