I know some basics (I admit I learned them from the American Girl books) but not too much, here's what I know:

The kids in farming towns would bring simple stuff like sausage, cheese, apple, etc in a wooden container.

The kids in cities would bring a pail (or I guess the rich ones brought something fancier) with "normal" lunch food like at home, I think stuff like hard-boiled eggs, apple or berry dumpling, meat dumpling, and other common 1800s food.

Do you walk to school or bring your lunch?

Walk I take the bus or get driven, and I always take my lunch to avoid cafeteria lines and mystery meat! Both And, yet another answer I am driven to school by a bus, and I eat the school lunch (not always the best we all know). I walk to school sometimes, sometimes I ride my bike, sometimes my dad will drive me, and my school has good food so I eat cafeteria food. Loads of answers, this is a comment:What a dull subject

Was there a school lunch program during the Great Depression?

The National School Lunch Program only started in 1946, but there were a lot of scattered programs before then. During the Great Depression, government-purchased school lunches for children who would have gone hungry were a great way to help farmers with agricultural surpluses without inflating prices.


What did rich Tudor children eat?

This answer is an educated guess and not the response of a qualified historian. In the Tudor period, children of the upper classes would not have had to pack a lunch and go to school. They would have been taught at home by tutors and governesses, and only what they needed to know for their station in life. They would have been served meals by servants and would not have been carrying packed lunches to school. Peasant children and children of tradespeople did not go to school but worked on the land or at a trade for their families' well-being. Education of the sort we know had not begun when the Tudor period ended.
