School Lunches

[Great-Kazoo]

For those of use who attended school BEFORE this whole health craze hit America. What 1 or so items do you remember enjoying?
This was also a time when there were no vending machines for snacks, you had to wander off to 7-11 for them,smoking was allowed off school grounds.

For me it was the Hot Buttered Noodles or white rice. The buttered noodles was a side on the roast beef sandwich with brown gravy. The white rice who remembers what that was served with.
I do remember it was always a meatless friday.

Never ate a school lunch myself.

I was a military brat, had to make due with hand me down clothes and sack lunches containing wish sandwiches or salty rice balls. - Nowadays it is called sushi...........But I didn't get all the fancy fillings, I did get the dried seaweed wrapped around it most times.

I always got veggies for snack, and Braunschweiger sandwiches. In High School, I enjoyed the personal pizzas.

I had the benefit of growing up in a small town/rural school district, and the school lunches were scratch-cooked.
Chili w/ carrot & celery sticks and fresh cinnamon rolls
Beef/chicken &noodles over fresh mashers, with home made rolls (I think the noodles were scratch made, also)
the list goes on.

Very disappointed when we move to a larger town/district.

ETA: Home made chicken noodle soup was awesome.

Another rural school goer, and "frito pie" with cinnamon roll was my favorite also.
Another favorite was salsbury steak and mashed potatoes. The "sailor sandwich" (tuna) was my least favorite.

chili-mac and the dryest corn bread that ever left the Sahara.

I remember when the little box of chocolate milk went up from $.04 to a nickel. Dad was pissed.

and I hated the stringbean caserole, but the apple crisp was pretty tolerable.

I ate whatever lunch meat Mom had in the house and made due with PB&J when there weren't no meat in the house.
