[Sca-cooks] School Food OOP

[Generys ferch Ednuyed]

Hehe... well, I try not to think about school cafeteria food - elementary
school and the first 2 years of high school weren't bad, but I went to a
free, public residential high school for junior and senior year - that means
3 meals of cafeteria food a day - unfortunately, the school tried to "feed"
us on less than they feed state prisoners on... something like
$1/day/person... I'll leave you to imagine the horrors... let's just say I
lived on rice crispies and soft serve ice cream for 2 years, more or less...

| Ooh. School lunch. :-P
|
| I packed a lunch from home until 5th grade (and I still am not fond of
| peanut butter sandwiches and red delicious apples). In Middle School the
| food was edible, mostly. The macaroni was suitable for use as hide glue
| (maybe it was made of hide glue?) and when one of teh boys managed to
throw
| his (it would peel up in one big blob) onto the ceiling, it stuck, and
| didn't come down for weeks, the the janitor finally noticed it. But the
| chili was good, and the desserts were great.
|
| The cafeteria at Sumner High school served just about teh same stuff,
| though they were making valiant attempts at 'teen-friendly' food- pizza,
| tacos, burgers, etc. Ok, mostly.
|
| The year I spent in Hawaii was interesting- the food was mostly new to me
| (Portugeuse Sausage? I'd never heard of it) and they had disposable
| chopsticks- you had to ask for standard silverware. Most of it was much to
| greasy, with far too much salt. But it was really cheap- 40 cents for the
| standard lunch, 25 cents for breakfast. And that was 1981. Back in Sumner
| the lunches were already well over a dollar.
|
| I honestly have no idea what my kids were eating at school. I was just
glad
| that I didn't have to make lunches for them while I was trying to get
| myself off to class...

| 'Lainie
| -mmm- the lunch ladies made good burritos... deep fried...
