I'm not sure, but a lot of them involved a very linear jump from "cooking for bae" to "i am cooking for bae and now we are having anal in the kitchen" [not sanitary!] I get antsy if my boyfriend even walks into the kitchen while I'm making dinner.

Maybe you're only jumpy because you keep looking at anal when you're scrolling through #cookingforbae :colbert:

Anyway, here's a small palate cleanser.

What have you got against IKEA meatballs? <:mad:>
I went to IKEA today and had some. I can't place exactly where the shift in perception occurred, but the first three were delicious, by the time I was eating the twelfth I was like WHEN DO THEY END

I'm convinced 75% of the frozen meatball bags they sell are untouched a year later. You go there and you buy some because you're still basking in that IKEA glow, you put them in the freezer at home and then every time you open it there's this bag of What Was I Thinking.

I am currently eating these right now. Lays has a weird quality where the initial taste of their chips tastes like nothing, then not what it advertised, and then finally the aftertaste becomes exactly what it promised. So, these taste like BBQ chips, then spicy cheese, and finally they settle into smoky mac & cheese. I feel like one of those wine tasters, but for chips. What a cheesy bouquet this one has.

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

rndmnmbr posted:

The sad part? That's one of the best looking school meals I've ever seen.

It's funny that I grew up in both the worst school district as a child and the best as a teenager as it relates to school lunch.

When I was young, we had to eat a half a stewed tomato every day along with the main course. You weren't allowed to go to recess unless you finished it. Yes, just a plain, heated, half a tomato on your plate. It was awful. Imagine being a kindergartner and being forced to eat a stewed tomato. We also had to learn to eat salads without any dressing. Just iceburg lettuce and shredded carrots with nothing on it. "Corn" beef hash was just like it sounds. Not "corned beef". It was literally just corn and beef. No seasoning, not even salt. We used to all hold our noses while eating it. It was the worst.

Later, we moved to Minneapolis. There we ate what appeared to be leftovers from fast food restaurants. Sliders that were dry and crunchy on top and soaked in grease to the point of being paste on the bottom. Endless Tony's pizza and burritos that were worse than gas station quality. When they had Mac and Cheese, we would skip lunch and try to trade with kids that brought their own food.

But then, I moved to Orr, MN. We had home cooked food every day (made from commodities) Wonderful baked chicken and biscuits twice a week made from one of the cooks own home recipes. Sure the Salisbury steak wasn't the best thing you've ever eaten, but it was good. And no more Tony's pizza. We even had chocolate milk once a week. I think about the chicken and biscuits. I wish someone sold them.

I was lucky, because our lunchladies had been there for decades and actually cooked simple but tasty food. Homemade bread and rolls was the highlight, but there were also good enchiladas, stromboli, BBQ sandwiches, and salisbury steak, and a pretty decent salad bar as well. There was never anything fancy, but it tasted pretty good for school food and came in filling portions.

(Sometimes I still have to hollow out a dinner roll, add a spoonful of imitation bacon bits, and a big squirt of institutional ranch dressing. It's not good, not good for you, and I don't know why we did it in school. But I still get the occasional craving.)

Then in my senior year, the lunchladies pretty much all retired, and Aramark got the contract. And that was the worst goddamned food I have ever seen, and I've seen both zero-sodium zero-fat zero-sugar hospital diets, and prison food.

I dunno man, some of the 'ugly' lunches in this thread look pretty decent compared to the poo poo we had in the south in the 90s. Seemed like even the pizza probably came from a can. Those microwaved cling-wrapped actually-green green beans would have made my day . :corsair:

One of the high schools I went to had a pretty decent a la carte lunch menu. I found out that if you waited until the end of the day, the lunchladies gave away the leftovers for free, and rode high on the hog for a while, until they figured out I wasn't a poor, just a fatty.

We had the same situation. I don't know any of the school food supplier contract politics, but for the longest time everything was cooked from scratch in our school district. Eventually Aramark got us too. I still remember the first day of the Spring semester after they switched over - the real homemade fried chicken and baked potato was now a couple of soggy microwaved graymeat nuggets and french fries. On the plus side the corporate contract meant that I got to share the experience of sad pizza rectangles with the rest of the country.

Our district had Sysco as a supplier so they were able to put together vaguely decent things for special occasions, even if 95% of it was off their institutional supply.

There was a culinary vocational program that did a lunch service too which coming from Sysco's higher end supplies meant it was poorly stocked bar and grill style restaurant quality.

The background veggies-- tiny, tiny green bean mash?-- worry me. The burnt cheap-lunch bun is also a bit sad. But yeah, the fish itself looks solid, tasty, and well-cooked. No slime or other weirdness, just a slab of some maybe-tilapia fish that might need a pinch of salt.

I had a similar thing in junior high. My high school had no lunch program, but there was a cafeteria that was run by Chartwell's (the people who own Tim Hortons) so if you had seven dollars, you should get some chicken fingers or pizza and fries. It was literally a lovely restaurant inside the school, which in retrospect was pretty shameful. Most kids didn't have that sort of money and would just get food from the strip mall across the road, or if you were like me, scammed money off other students or did the old trick my dad taught me where you stick your finger onto someone's lunch and go, "are you gonna finish that?"*
