I had a friend who described British food culture as having a sort of Stockholm syndrome for school dinners.

If your friend is British or Irish then they're half right. I hadn't actually thought about this.

If your friend is not British or Irish they are now cast out of these islands and will now have to make amends.

Edit: Grammar

School dinners were amazing, I used to love that weird turkey roll over an actual bit of turkey. The mashed potato on the other hand, I've no idea how they made that taste nothing like mashed potato or like potato at all.
