In high school, a few Wednesdays a month were buffalo chicken wrap day, otherwise known as "buffchick". The wraps were insanely popular; kids would run to the line because if you didn't get a good spot, you could literally spend your whole lunch period and not get to eat. There were fights each and every time. One time one of the football players went into a blind rage and beat a kid unconscious and got expelled. One of the math teachers who monitored the line loved it because he thought it taught kids survival of the fittest. I really want to have one of these wraps again just to try and remember if it was worth the hype. They probably fuckin sucked.

One day in middle school the cafeteria was giving out pudding cups work lunch and I sat down super excited to eat mine and it was filled with BBQ sauce. I was convinced it was this kid I didn't like that sat at our assigned table, but only came to find out years and years later it was actually my best friend and best man at my wedding who had eaten the pudding and replaced it with the BBQ. Really shattered my world.

they did cinnamon roll and chili day every friday where I grew up, and that was the universal favorite (i remember it actually being good) but my white whale of school lunch was called the oven baked cheese, which was just cheese product between biscuity dough that they made on a huge sheet. there must have been some special government pipeline of that biscuit mix and subsidized cheese in the late 80's because i've never bought or seen anything that replicated it since

one day our school lost its contract with the food-slop provider so the school had to figure something out fast. what they ended up doing was hiring a catering company to basically form a new school-lunch company and they ended up making us like, really decent food. we had fresh steamed/baked vegetable dishes, good salads, good sides like good mac and cheese, and the main dishes were awesome like really good chicken and rice or lasagna. the lunchroom did a total 180, kids were actually sitting down and eating, there were much less interruptions, less kids running around and yelling, just much more peaceful in general. the crazy thing was that the cost wasn't that much more expensive at all per kid either, since the slop-provider had renewed and raised their contract costs so much. Naturally though, since the cost per kid still went up, the school went back to the horrible food-slop provider after a month, since paying an extra $1.75 per kid to have real food is just too fuckin' much still

By highschool either my parents sent me with a lunch or I packed one myself, I don't think I ever ate the school food there even single time. But middle school I ate at the cafeteria, and boy oh boy was that stuff garbage. Greasy pizza, breadsticks that were just a hunk of white bread to dip into nacho cheese, poo poo like that. It's an indictment of our society that we feed that stuff to our children. It probably stunted my growth and made me fat. What I'm saying is that American school lunches are so bad they are creating incels and we need to put a stop to it!!!!

Ft. Lauderdale The early 90's Walter C. Young Middle School I was a garbage pig child who ate all the food I could. I was lucky that my parents thought the school food was such a good deal that I could have as much as I wanted so I routinely got double orders of my favorite plates. The "Mexican pizza" that was a hexagon and had orange cheese and sausage The chicken patty sandwiches that were, in hindsight, 100% vegetarian but who loving cares when it tastes like a big chicken nugget Hot dogs and hamburgers and burritos that were of gas station quality and temperature Awful cobbler for dessert. Then I moved to a nowhere town with a football high school and it all changed from tray meals to an a la carte hellscape. There was one normal lunch line that thankfully still kept the same entree/starch/vegetable/fruit/drink nutritional system in place, and that still had good stuff. Taco salad, full on with the fried flour tortilla bowl, delicious and filling and guaranteed liquid poo poo two hours later GOOD BURGERS holy poo poo, they were assembled in front of us and you could see the rendered fat in the tray beneath the patties, and they came with special crinkle cut fries instead of the lovely ones everywhere else (in hindsight I'm SURE these were for the sake of the football team) THANKSGIVING THURSDAYS, I know it's rejected pot pie filling but it was hot and savory and I would always get a second order because they clearly want me to, it's Thanksgiving Thursday Just the worst cobbler you can imagine. We could get a "combo" meal which was the closest to the tray meal in all the other lines which consisted of hot grease, hot starch, and sugar water. Half these lines didn't even carry milk and told you to get a fruit punch or gently caress off. Trapezoid pizza with too-consistently-sized pepperoni cubes, and you could ask for fries on top instead of in a cup on the side so they'd fuse into the cheese and you could eat it all at once Pizza bread, that was supposed to be like a wide pizza dough knot with pepperoni inside that you could dip in pizza sauce with a little parmesan on top. It ended up being a dough ball with a stack of pepperoni pressed in like a coin roll, which led to a pocket of greasy red bread inside that I'm sure has lingering cardiovascular effects to this day. Mozzarella sticks that defied gravity with how full and structured the shell was compared to how little cheese there was inside Clearly weeks-old cobbler. OK that's all my school food memory. superjew fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Feb 11, 2020 |

dee eight posted:I brought my own lunch to school every day. Brown paper bag, a couple pb&j or baloney sammiches and a tastykake. Same, but Little Debbie Snack Cakes. And a apple or orange and some carrot sticks. I wouldn’t touch the school slop. My mom worried I wasn’t eating and started packing me lunches. She soon got sick of it so at an early age I learned to make my own bloney samwichs. I was skinny as hell back then.

I had green beans once that had a rusty screw in it. You guys had real silverware? Wow. We had a plastic spork thing sometimes. The spork had really, really blunted ends. I assume that they wanted to keep us from shiving each other.

I have mostly fond memories of the terrible food "lunch brunch" - french toast sticks! scrambled eggs! sausages! one of the best days pizza - the usual rectangle stuff taco pockets - taco meat and toppings, but in a pita pocket. pretty good, actually "pork chop shaped patties" - some sort of chicken patty-like thing but made with pork (presumably) The worst days were hamburger or hot dog days because while we generally had commercially made poo poo, the lunch ladies insisted on making the buns from scratch for some weird reason. So they were really dense and sour, ruining burgers and hot dogs, it was sad. Then my 8th grade year my mom got the job as hot lunch program manager and actually started cooking mostly real food (and not goddamn buns), so then we had cool poo poo like a baked potato bar, cheesy garlic bread sticks with marinara sauce, french bread pizza, and chicken stew with egg noodles.

They added a baked potato bar I think my last year in HS and you just paid $2.50 or whatever for the potato and then you could add whatever toppings to it you wanted in any quantity so you’d see people with a baked potato with a half gallon of nacho cheese poured over it spilling off their plate and filling half their tray. I remember one of the toppings was cut up hot dogs in some kind of barbecue sauce which is a kind of hosed up topping for a baked potato imo.

sweet thursday posted:One time Reginald neglected to cut the crust off of my Monte Cristo and I positively smacked him. Reginald got what was coming to him. I remember once in elementary school I asked the lunch ladies for the recipe for the chocolate peanut butter bars and they gave it to me and my mom made them and they were even better than the ones at school because my mom didn’t skimp on the chocolate like the lunch ladies did. I figured it was a no-bake recipe, but no, apparently cooking is necessary to make them. It took like a week and a half to eat them all because we didn’t scale down the recipe and were making enough for 300 hungry school kids. There, my one good memory of school.

Flutieflakes017 posted:What's the deal with airplane food? It has to be mass-produced for efficiency purposes, and the low-oxygen associated with high altitudes dulls tastes and decreases the body’s ability to differentiate between flavors. Thus, airplane food doesn’t taste all that great, no matter how much money they spend on it, which they won’t. There, solved once and forever.

Is anybody young enough to have eaten school food after the Michelle Obama nutrition rules were put in place? I know people were making GBS threads a brick when they got rolled back a few weeks ago but I don't actually have any idea if they lead to better lunches compared to the poo poo from the 90s and 00s.

It means they’re allowed to squirt ketchup up your rear end in a top hat and legally say you’ve consumed a vegetable.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Why was that so good? It should be absolutely revolting but for some reason it hit some kind of “oh gently caress yes” switch in my brain. I think partly because it resembled an actual meal a family would eat together. Even if it was bottom of the barrel quality. School lunches are criminal. Jamie Oliver had it right but the US failed in trying to make school lunches healthier. You can't just mandate healthier food. You need to appropriate money for it. Funding for schools in the US is just terrible and the cost of non-garbage food is just too much that could go towards the football team. Literally everything fed to us in school was what we learned we should not be eating. Cheeseburgers, hot dogs, pizza, etc. All of it. It's just a slap in the face to education. "Don't eat this stuff but we're not going to give you any other option than to eat this stuff unless you bring your own." I'd go without lunch for 2-3 days to save up for a 6" subway sandwich they served in the school store. gently caress school food. Something needs to be done about it.

I was working for Man Power one summer between like 8th and 9th grade and they had me waxing the school hall floors all day. My coworker and I got in the walk in freezer in the lunchroom and stole a whole box of those square pizza slices. We sat in the teachers lounge and drat near cooked the whole box and watched soap operas.

I used to work at an elementary school and they had the shittiest food. They were mandated to provide veggies, whole grains, etc, but weren't given the budget to make palatable. I remember these hard rear end sad wheat biscuits they gave to the kids in the morning. I guess it was a Michelle Obama thing? All I know is a little while after Trump got elected they switched to fluffy, delicious, white flour biscuits and it was like the little kids were eating candy for the first time. The breakfast that day was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

I thought it was just conservatives and their spawn protesting against healthy food. Was there really some merit to that? I seriously thought it was all faked.
