Con Agra did school lunch focus groups at my elementary school, so it’s entirely possible that your school lunch experience was shaped by a bunch of chubby Midwestern kids.

My high school didn't have a cafeteria. That was for bigger schools. We had a canteen that sold cup noodles and candy and sometimes pizza ordered from a local pizza place, but it never had a line so much as it had a mass of students pushing their way forward.

In the year I lived in dorms, though, I developed a taste for powdered scrambled eggs.

Surely there must be frozen pizza brands that accurately replicate the cafeteria pizza experience.
Here in Sweden, at least, we have these things, which are pretty much the trademark food of LAN parties of any size:


(okay, usually not served that fancy, picture from an article about some restaurant that served them at 10x the price you get them at the grocery store)

So they're pizza rectangles, at any rate, and at at least one point in my school history we were served pizza for lunch that looked pretty much identical and might have been literally that. Comparatively, it was easily among the better school lunches we had. Of course, the rectangles they serve in America might be something much worse than that.

On the other end of the scale, while I will readily admit to having been (still to some point am but have gotten better) a picky eater and probably disliked more school lunches than most of my classmates did, one I vividly remember was some breaded turkey patties. While that sounds good, there were all of these little hard bits inside them, which I'm almost sure was little bits of cartilage. They were terrible to eat and nobody liked them and I could barely finish one of them. Most bad school lunches I've forgotten, but that one's stuck with me for how absolutely disgusting it was.

And the very earliest recurring thing I remember in terrible school lunches was the mashed potatoes that were served where I went for first to sixth grade. Obviously it was the made from powder stuff and it tasted so, so bad.

My family moved around a lot too, so I went to a dozen schools in Alberta and BC and not one of them had any kind of free lunch program. Everybody brought their own lunch. Some schools we ate at our desks, others there was a lunch room to eat in to keep crumbs out of the classrooms. I didn't see a proper cafeteria until high school, a school with 2500 students, and even then most kids brought lunch from home.

I remember once I forgot my lunch and my mom couldn't bring it, so the secretary got me a frozen peanut butter sandwich from the freezer in the staff lounge. I wonder if they still do that, or if fear of peanut allergies shut the whole thing down.

pizza chat: one of my friends used to work at the food supplier for the high school (and prison). every once in a while a crate of pizzatangles would get :airquote: damaged :airquote: and they'd cook up half of it for lunch and take the other half home, split between everyone at work that day. Our freezer was regularly packed with "oh no the outside box got a rip, can't sell anything in it because food safety laws" products. It was amazing.

I can't find an appropriately depressing picture but our school would sometimes have really watery custard for dessert. It wasn't served with anything, they just sloshed it into one of the sections of the tray and that was it. One kid got two tray sections of custard at once and spent the rest of lunch time just shovelling it into his mouth at top speed and it was splashing everywhere and he got in trouble for making a huge mess. It was over 20 years ago and I remember the sad thin custard but little else. :smith:

Yeah that's exactly what our pizzas looked like, down to the little cubes of what I assume is "pepperoni food product".

I had some cheap meatballs & mashed potatoes in Sweden and I assume the potatoes were instant, but they had this really weird almost chemical tang to them. Is there something you guys add to your mashed potatoes? It wasn't disgusting, just odd and very hard to place.

Foodservicedirect sells them on amazon. $148 for a case of 96, though, might as well just get Totino's party pizzas for that money.

Could it be nutmeg? That's pretty common in mashed potatoes here.

Feeling a little inadequate?

So, is it $500 a piece in lots of 5000, or $500 to $5000 dollars? I think just one pizza cone machine would suffice my needs, I really don't need 5 grand.

Fiestada. My favorite school lunch. Occasionally I'll google around and see if I can buy them. They were so tasty.

My public high school was kind of a pizza Mecca. Every day, along with the regular hot lunch line, was the pizza and fries line. It was a different chain pizza every day of the week and french fries (curly fries on Friday!). It would also occasionally have nachos, Mr. Hero sandwiches, and other junk food.

They wised up to the growing obesity epidemic my senior year and the pizza and fry line was no more. They did try and do baked fries occasionally, but they were always super soggy and barely cooked.
