strangehamster posted:It used to be subsidized in part or in whole, depending on family income. Breakfast programs were introduced specifically to help low income children get enough to eat before starting school, I hope they're still funded. They are but funding is piss poor. Luckily, as much as conservatives have attempted to gut public schooling and free and reduced meals once a school is classed "Title 1" all students are given two meals free daily. I think it varies from state to state (or maybe county to county even) but a school gets bumped to Title 1 if a certain percentage of students qualify for free and reduced because after a point it's less paperwork to just feed everyone.

That is certainly... a thing. But I can say that black beans will pretty much ruin the presentation of any dish they are involved in.

As lovely as school lunches were, they were still usually better than what I got fed at home.

i used to eat the free breakfast at poor rear end schools growing up, and biscuits and gravy was basically the only edible thing aside from cereal, but was thankfully an option every day. rndmnmbr posted:As lovely as school lunches were, they were still usually better than what I got fed at home. My dad was a decent cook considering our budget, but he has no concept of getting what you pay for so much the only thing I could qualify as "good" was stir fried chicken. For some reason him and grandma thought microwaved meat loaf was a good idea, and it put me off the stuff the better part of two decades. At least the veggies, frozen or no, were never flavorless mushy poo poo like every other american appears to have dealt with. Pomp has a new favorite as of 06:45 on Dec 5, 2015 |

lidnsya posted:I don't really understand the concept of school lunches as they are not a thing in Canada. Did you have to pay for them or is it government funded? We either brought a lunch or we were hosed. A government-funded school food program sounds like it would be a good idea. I'm from Alberta. In junior high, there was a pretty standard American-style cafeteria. Cantankerous lunchladies, $2 sandwiches and soggy fries, you get the idea. In highschool, Chartwell's* ran what I can only describe as a restaurant and I think in the entire three years I never ate there once. It was expensive as hell, and since the pizza place across the street also sold pot (  ) no else ever bothered either.*: aka, the company that owns Tim Horton's and is responsible for all the donuts now coming frozen in a box. For some reason they own 99% of all academic foodstuff places in Calgary now.

If kids forgot their lunch they were screwed, especially the farm kids who had to bus from up to an hour away. One of the food places at MRU took Tim Horton's gift cards for about a year which was amazing, because I would get them passed on to me from my husband, who got them as tips form work. Some of the cards had like $25 on them. But they recently stopped that in favour of proprietary cards so now I hate them.

It was basically Community but without a Subway.

Oh yeah, we had cafeterias too in jr/high school, but it wasn't like this American thing where everyone lines up with their trays for government schlop. Also, it looks like capers on that chicken to me? So many capers. Tonight for supper I heated up canned chick peas and frozen vegetables with bbq sauce, curry powder, garlic powder, and brown sugar. I sometimes do peanut butter instead of bbq sauce. It's delicious and disgusting.

She would never measure the milk and we'd always get a soupy mess. I was 15 when I found out that boxed mac and cheese is actually top tier garbage food. I didn't understand what people saw in steak either. "It's so leathery and flavorless!"

Reminds me of something my mom used to talk about her dad making on nights when grandma wasn't home. He'd take egg noodles and slop grape jelly on the top and that was dessert. Supposedly it was tasty but looked horrific.

People that just ladle sauce on top of pasta instead of mixing it in with the pasta, I don't get it. You're depriving the pasta on the bottom from getting any sauce!

Freedom of choice The cook should not control the pasta/sauce ratio. That right belongs to the person being served imo If you want it mixed then mix it on your plate.

I was 15 when I found out that boxed mac and cheese is actually top tier garbage food. I didn't understand what people saw in steak either. "It's so leathery and flavorless!" I always hated steak too due to the eastern North Dakota style steak that I grew up with. Take a lovely cut of meat, full of gristle, and cook it for half an hour with no fat or seasoning. Once nice and leathery, attack it with a butterknife for hours to get a piece cut off. Chew said piece for an hour and then give up and spit it out. I remember getting steak when I was in pre-school (it was in a nursing home so we ate what the residents ate), and I had to learn to swallow the pieces whole as they simply couldn't be chewed. Until I was a teenager, I though that steak was supposed to be like that and refused it when offered. At the time, I preferred to go hungry than to eat that shoe leather. Then one day my uncle grilled steaks at his place and asked me how I wanted mine. I bit the bullet and said "Rare" so I wouldn't look like a pussy. It was the best thing I'd ever eaten. The moral is, never trust your family to teach you to cook. My father still gets upset when I make pork chops because they're "pink". He believes all meat should be grey.

For me it was corn on the cob and hard-boiled eggs, because they would overcook them and make hard unpleasant corn and rubbery eggs with green-grey yolks. The first time I ever had a boiled egg made the proper way it was incredible. Meat thermometers are awesome, everyone should use one.

I was very lucky growing up. My parents were amazing cooks, and I could tell because I was used to a particular caliber of cooking and I'd go over to other people's houses and wonder why there weren't spices in anything. Last time I saw my mom, though, you could tell she'd sort of given up on making elaborate meals over the years. Also, I guess your tastes change as you get older, so neither of my parents seem to give a poo poo about salt anymore. Anyway, content:

I have way too many thermometers, I could literally make three meats, deep fry and make candy at the same time as I have some briskets in the smoker and still have thermometers yelling at me to use them
