This thread is for reminiscing about that garbage you ate every day at public school. Let's hear all about the soggy fries, lovely ketchup, terrible chicken nuggets, plastic cheese pizza and the runny ranch that went on everything e: please spoiler any descriptions or depictions of school food from outside the states. we all know the USA is trash, but I'd prefer to see a stark divide between us and elsewhere Hardon Crime fucked around with this message at 06:50 on Feb 11, 2020 |

I drank a lot of Dr Pepper and ate a lot of KFC in the (sponsored) high school cafeteria, and also I had no practical knowledge of nutrition or resistance training.

I remember in grade school we got these tiny grey burgers that sucked rear end I dont even know how they cooked them, I'm assuming in some industrial oven they got from the old penitentiary from how much they sucked one day I bit down on a piece of bone and i took it up to the lunch lady and was like "this loving burger hurt my tooth" and she just shrugged at me this was the #1 grade school in my state mind you. it's still the best public grade school in my state 20 years later and hasn't been upgraded at all, I went there to vote for a ballot initiative just last year

At my high school they served “nugs and fries” which consisted of chicken nuggets and soggy fries crammed into a Pepsi cup and covered with tin foil

When I got to high school, they started serving real pizza, they'd order from the big slice place down the block and cut the slices in half and sell them for twice what you'd pay if you walked there. still beat the plastic cheese rectangle though

i slipped out and went to taco bell a lot in high school in elementary i had a friend who delighted in mixing the day's offerings together into a paste, every day, it was funny but always awful and the milk was the worst for it if she was willing to sacrifice it and i still get nausea if i smell garbage with too much ketchup or grease

I too remember the pizza rectangle that came baked into a waxed cardboard container. If you pulled the cheese off the top the moist dough underneath looked like the folds of a brain. The tacos weren't that bad. They used a taco meat that was very similar to the Taco Bell ground beef, just not as tasty. The chocolate milk was absolute garbage. It tasted nothing like chocolate. It was barely even sweet either. And yeah I don't know how they made hamburger patties so bad. They must have been boiled in a vat. This all changed in high school, though. We had a legit mini Pizza Hut as part of our cafeteria there.

I brought my own lunch to school every day. Brown paper bag, a couple pb&j or baloney sammiches and a tastykake. The best part about school lunch was taking the lunchroom forks and stomping them flat and then watching to see who got one the next day.

They were only served at snack break though and then that was canceled because we couldn't have nice things.

One of the elementary schools I went to had good rectangle pizza and a cart where you could get pizza stix and Taco Bell burritos, junior high had big, soft pretzels, and both high schools I went to served Taco Bell and Subway.

Our school only sold sandwiches that were made with one slice white and one slice brown in a weird attempt to promote multiculturalism. They had a poster up explaining this

Pastry of the Year posted:gbs elementary school: a place for ribs When I was in middle school the cafeteria introduced a new item: A McRib knockoff. They were loving vile. The trashcan was full of them. They all had one bite taken out of them and that's it. That was the first and last time they served them.

we ranked pizzas by how many napkins it took until you couldn't turn them totally transparent with grease. 'this one's a seven napkiner'

My most vivid memory of grade school lunch was from taco day, I got my tray and sat down at a nearly empty table and the kid across from me reached over and started dabbing his finger in a little dollop of salsa that dripped on the rim of my tray I looked up because what the gently caress and it was a kid with down syndrome just putting his hands near my food, which explained the whole thing. I'm pretty sure if he hadn't touched my tray I wouldn't have even noticed anything Looking back it was far less disgusting than the time I recreated the "I'm a zit" scene from animal house

Upstate NY: Our lunch pizza was inedible garbage just obscene trash it makes me sick just thinking about it. Around 10th grade I realized I could just spend my whole lunch money on Cheese Fries and swapped over completely and except for taco day. They cooked so many cheeseburgers for lunch every day that you could wander into the cafeteria at any point after 2 PM and buy them for .50 so I would just eat cheese fries for lunch, then wait until after school and buy like 3-4 cheeseburgers for $2. Every spare $1 I had went straight into the Snapple machine, Fruit Punch PURPLE CAN baby. The benefit of being in NY was our breakfast option was giant bagels and huge blobs of cream cheese and then sausage patties or fried eggs and cereal. I hated being poor but breakfast at school was on point, and no one cares if you’re on food stamps at lunch and use change to augment your free lunch with extra fries or something.

https://youtu.be/fK5CLplRIno Did anyone else have cheese zombies? Usually a wide, flat roll cut down the middle with a bunch of lovely melted cheese in the middle. It sucked and I always ate two. Plus the sausage rolls that looked like the poo poo that would come out of a dehydrated and sick dog.
