Everything else was pretty poo poo though.

Sauteed potatoes with grated cheese on top. Doused with lots of salt, pepper and vinegar. Washed down with a corton of 5alive tropical. I still make it home myself somedays.

americans give kids like, pizza and burgers and chicken nuggets and fried chicken for lunch everyday, that's crazy. Like how about a tuna fish sandwich for the poor 8 year old instead?

I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do.
In grades 1-6 which is "lower school" in Finland (7-9 is "high school") I remember really liking the meatloaf and even asked my parents why they make theirs as nice. Our school had it's own kitchen and the cook and a helper cooked all the meals from scratch.

I had a fat friend who drank a lot of SunnyD. I pointed out to him that the stuff was only 5% juice and he said "That's what I like about it!" He would never eat a fruit or vegetable unless it was in pizza sauce. He only stopped drinking it when he heard the rumours about it turning people yellow/orange.

By the time he was in his early twenties he was suffering from sleep apnea.

The reason there’s so much pizza sauce and ketchup is because it would look bad if a bunch of kids got scurvy from their all nugget and fry diet.

It was all pretty lovely, but then again so was my mom's cooking (who loving boiled ribs and chicken before putting them on the grill). So not much difference between the two. They each even put fruit cocktail in the jello.

The turkey mashed potato slop is overwhelmingly the most popular at both school districts I've worked in.

Stand back, this could get messy.

Mac and Cheese was awesome and had a nice breading on top. Too bad it was so rare.

We also had a nacho bar which was great, but probably also 40% spit towards the later lunch periods.

If it was the one that was octagon shaped or whatever then that is the correct answer. Octagon shaped public school Mexican pizza was a fine lunch imo

In elementaryI remember pretty much everything but the square pizza being inedible dogshit (and even the pizza was mearly just ok). When covid happened and the schools closed down and did weekly food give aways that included a lot of unused cafeteria food and it seems like nothing has changed lol.

Luckily the food in middle and high school was way better.

Hot dogs on macaroni. I don't remember having tomato sauce on those.

The worst was rice pudding

The individual meals reheatable food was great but the dried food was inedible and came in a huge box.

I worked out a thing with my elementary school where I came and got all the remaining food after the 12-1 pm weekly Monday giveaway. I set it all up in my garage and left it open 24/7 for everyone to just come get what they need. But they wouldn't let me just get the hot food I had to take the boxes of dried garbage.

Eventually my garage was so full of those stupid boxes of dried apricots and w/e I had to make a dump run to make room for the meals. Homeless shelters stopped taking the dried food even.

elementary school: brought our own.

Middle school: food brought in from KFC or other restaurant

High school: The culinary students cooked with varied results

Are cafeterias in elementary school an American thing?
