Taco salad, especially when the chicken at the bottom wasn't still frozen.

We didn't have a cafeteria. Everyone bought lunch from home. We had a canteen, that sold things during recess and lunch. Sandwiches, pies, drinks, but also lots of junk food. I f I did use the cafeteria, which was very rarely, it was to buy a plain buttered bread bun and a bag of salt and vinegar chips or Burger Rings, and put them in the bun.

Almost forgot - I really like the school's peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They were at least a day old when we got them and the jelly would have bled through the bread just so. So good. I liked them better than homemade ones. Probably not much peanut butter in school today.

Not a meal, but my highschool had these chocolate chip cookies that were like the size of a small plate, and super greasy and barely cooked, so they were basically just greasy cookie dough? They were served fresh and warm, and you could get soft serve ice cream on top of them, and it was just incredible. I just found this petition https://www.change.org/p/oprf-alumni-and-boosters-change-the-oprf-school-mascot-from-the-huskies-to-the-ice-cream-cookies But the ice cream was definitely soft serve in my day.

Ooooooooohhhh yeah I fondly remember those  PB&Js at home were never quite the same because (at least for me) the bread at home wasn't porous enough for the jelly to soak through

Nthing the pizza, but my high school made these extremely bomb maple donut bar things that were just divine, never had anything like them since. Not quite a donut, not quite a cake, but man alive I'd like to have one again. My highschool also had curly fries, and every day you had the option of - burger or pizza or salad or sack lunch or make your own sub bar, plus a daily rotation dish.

In high school we had tacos/nachos available every day and I definitely ate way too many of those. Absolutely on another level compared to everything else that was offered.

While we did have a small cafe that sold snacks in school it didn't provide a full lunch. Everyone brought their own pretty much.

Big shout out to the classic sloppy Joe, don't care what anyone thinks, it's a hearty sauce berg and they're great. Especially if you got tots with it. I even make them with tvp every once and awhile when I get that garbage craving Also sometimes in middle school they would do a special day where kids on food vouchers (I.e. Poor kids like me) got those deep dish red baron personal pizzas. I think they literally microwaved like sixty of them and you just grabbed them out of a giant chest freezer/warmer thing. That was the best!

For example remember those statues some artist made of trump with a comically small penis, which was an obvious jab at him. As a man with a clinical micropenis, this was only another reminder of my disability and while I could never vote for a republican, it caused me a level of mental anguish that I could see a more centrist voter finding to be a bridge too far. just wanna say that this post made me lol DSWM

Don't know about my favourite. But poutine (or an approximation of it) and curly fries were popular enough. I communted to a school in a wealthy district but it was the same cafeteria food only more expensive. Oh and I remember that if you wanted a combo the staff would insist you could only get the specific drink shown on the picture even if it just said "+DRINK". So poutine meant Diet Coke not regular and a hamburger with fries meant Sprite. Or whatever. Bright Bart fucked around with this message at 13:03 on May 15, 2023 |

Oh I forgot I lived in what was basically the Hogwart's dormitory during freshmen year of undergrad and we had an actual chef. This included special menu meals with wine and liquor even though a small portion of the students weren't even of legal age to drink. Because Montréal owns.

I went to school in Los Angeles's main district until 07 and IDK about the supply chain or sourcing, but they did still seem to actually use the kitchens. Coffee cake - This poo poo is legendary. There is a recipe for it online that's fairly close. I came close to mad trying to find it on the outside but they just can't get the spices right. Chicken patty sandwich - It's a breaded chicken patty on a wheat bun, ketchup and salad cup optional. Eating one of these hot while we ate in the auditorium again, the air thick with humidity from everyone's tracking in the rain, it's the El Nino of 98 and you don't know how good you have it. Grande burger - Exactly what it sound like, they had this in high school, it was a patty about 6 inches wide with cheese on a bun, salad cup on the side. Chalupa - A hard corn shell roughly boated shaped with cheese and some ground beef. Iconic. Pizza - Pizza day, ska songs aside, weren't mind blowing, but it was Friday and that's always good. I remember the pepperoni was cube shaped. You can actually buy it from the wholesaler if you want, it's called Tony's Commodity Pizza. No I didn't make that up. My middle school had Dominos available, for I think about $3.50, which blew my mind because that wasn't of the school, what's it doing here, it was a nice treat when I saved up some lunch money and splurged.

Like, I remember in elementary school, on hot pretzel day, I asked for a pretzel with no cheese, but the kitchen worker told me no. Like, what the gently caress, lady? I ended up not eating lunch that day. Edit: And I get that working in an elementary school kitchen probably sucks, but do you really need to take it out on some loving 8 year old (or however old I was at the time)?

There are probably rules including nutrition requirements and calorie limits. That's why you had to have the cheese (1 serving of dairy) and the goon above had to get diet coke with the hot dog or whatever.
