[Sca-cooks] School Specific Foods

In grade school, we got mostly canned veggies that tasted like the can and warm milk, and mystery meat.  When I moved to SC for High School, I was amazed that one meal a week was greasy greens, corn bread, and cane syrup.  No meat, not even mystery meat, in that meal.  Sometimes the corn bread was cracklin' bread, though.
BTW, Maricopa County's Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the toughest Sheriff in the Country, serves green bolony sandwiches without any condiments to all his inmates for lunch, everyday.  And brags about it

school. We mostly went home for lunch, except when Mom went back to work,
then we packed a lunch. Packed a lunch in junior high, because they didn't
actually have a lunch line, only carton beverages. Packed a lunch in high
school, most of the time. That was when I experimented with peanut butter
combinations--marshmallow fluff has a tendency to try to escape over the
course of a morning, unless you seal the edges with peanut butter.

The high school got free butter from the gov'ment, and the only useful
thing they did with it was to make these incredible chocolate chip
cookies. They were so full of butter that you had to sit them on a pile of
napkins to absorb extra, and they were almost inedible cold. You had to
eat them hot. They had a circular ridge on the top from the dispenser they
used to blop the batter (no, it wasn't dough, it was *batter*) onto the
baking pans. Mmmmmmm.

Their pizza, OTOH, was tomato-flavored grease and cheese on cardboard.
