Porpoise noise continues.
You just don't name a baby Linda!




There were four Jeffs in my grade. I'm from a town of fewer than 2000 people. Maybe I was born in the Jeff Belt and I never knew it?

I think it’s like Linda. No children should be named Linda, it's the name of a 40 year old woman in HR who says "sigh, Mondays"....

The manager at my old apartment was named Karen, I can confirm this. One day she had a baby and never returned, yet was still mysteriously the apartment manager.

We had good school pizza when I was in JK-Gr2, I believe they made it in house and it was actually slices, pizza shaped slices, not some godforsaken breadtangle

Of course this was balanced out by the Chicken Ala King which I always resented and apparently called Chicken Ala Barf

We had both kinds of pizza and those "cheeseburgers" that were totally just "beef-flavored" soy burgers topped with plastic cheese and steamed in a baggie. Yeah, that's right. My school served us steamed hams. They were mysteriously addictive, despite being nothing like a real cheeseburger.

The only thing really worth eating were the potato wedges. Crispy skin dusted with cajun spices, fluffy white insides, god they were perfect. There was eventually a lunch lady assigned to do nothing but inspect our plates because we'd try and hide extra potato wedges under other foods so we wouldn't have to pay another 75 cents.

I always like rectangle pizza day and would sometimes get double lunch that day for a whole like $3.

I think ours was rectangle pizza and usually chips with a fruit cup and milk.

Oh no
When I was growing up my Dad worked at a school and he could buy those pizzas by the case for a ridiculously cheap price, and it was awesome. Doctored up with some combo of pepperoni, mushrooms, and/or onions they made great late night snacks.

My high school did both, they sold the rectangles most days and would do actual pizza once a week

They also sold Pizza Hot Pockets in the cafeteria as well, so all three kinds of Institutional Pizza were represented at that school

there is in form, but never in flavor. the problem is the second you try and make it taste "good" it will never capture the OG taste.

Same. Our’s was from the local chain.
Even better was the salad bar with a different hot item each day (broccoli cheese baked potato, nachos, taco salad, chili, etc) that you could drag through the garden or build a salad next to. After school we’d just go to the actual Barros and smoke blunts behind the store and then buy a few of the 25¢ slices left over from the lunch specials. I did get the cardboard crust, ketchup, cheese product “pizza” in MS though. So I know that taste.

Now I work at a Title I HS as a teacher and I feel guilty for being such an ungrateful shithead when I was a teen. I cringe with every “tuna pocket” day during the morning announcements. The kitchen manager is actually a thoughtful, creative lady though and she tries her best with the budget when 98% of the student pop is free/reduced. Yesterday they intro’d a new monte christo made with French toast leftover from breakfast. :yum:

Splish!

The lost, unobtainable and probably-best-left-in-the-past taste from my school cafeteria days is the pan of well-done hamburger patties kept simmering in a pan of ketchup water. Hamburger day was my favorite in grade school.

Now I'm having flashbacks to the school breadsticks, which were hard as a brick, tasted like cardboard that had gone slightly rancid somehow, and made kid me assume all breadsticks were awful for years.
