In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Ah le cantine” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 2275 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3496 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Ah le cantine” meme mean?
The meme plays on the back-to-school question “what is your favourite subject?”, answered not with maths or French but with lunch. It celebrates hungry honesty and a sideways answer. People use it to reply to any serious question with a simple pleasure, to tease an unmotivated student, or to admit their own sincere love for the lunch break. The slightly off “le cantine” adds a touch of approximation that is part of the joke.
Where does the “Ah le cantine” meme come from?
This very well-known reference features a woman who says that her favourite subject is the canteen. The pattern is clear: a person answers a school question in a natural way, and the unexpected reply breaks away to become a ready-made line. The phrase circulates as audio and video clips and pops up in comments whenever school subjects or cafeterias come up.

The reprints of the “Ah le cantine” card
The “Ah le cantine” card was reprinted as Rare (No. 2,500) and Epic (No. 4,775). A reprint is the same meme printed again, with a number of its own and a higher rarity than its first printing, which was common. Its face reads “Reprinted card · Higher rarity”.
Every printing is dealt in the packs of the Memes FR pack, each at its own rarity: the higher it is, the rarer the card is to pull. Copies of the first printing already pulled stay as they are, and any printing counts toward completing a set.
MyMemeCards reprints a meme when it deserves more than the rarity of its first printing, such as a classic that became iconic after it came out: the reprint gives it a place among the most sought-after cards without taking anything from the players who already had it.
