Our school system in Houston County GA had this marvelous peanut butter
sandwich which went perfectly with their chili.  It was absolutely my
favorite (not to mention extraordinary baked goods in every school I
attended).  I don't know exactly what they mixed with the peanut butter
or in what proportion, but it was always great.

On a related note, I have found in my many school/college/other
experiences that no matter the quality or nutritional value of
'institutional food', it will be railed and lambasted as evil and the
cause of the Kennedy Assassination and the decline of men's hats since
the 60's.  Food Service is a favored target regardless of it's quality .
. . not everyone, but many.  There are most definitely horror stories,
to be sure, but they cannot be the norm, or else they would not be so
fun to tell.
