I know that some of your moms made your lunches for school, Mine, too. But what meals did you anticipate bein served for lunch??

Mine was Nacho Plate Day(filled with nachos, meat, tomatoes, lettuce, salsa and a whole lot of other sh!t), The plate was huge(the meat was a little suspect, what was that sh!t????) but it tasted though. Got stuffed everytime i ate it
 
I never ate lunch in the HS cafeteria. I always left to go elsewhere since prisons serve better food than school.
 
I remember the rolls we would have everyday at lunch in elementary school.
Big wheaty yeasty rolls. Yummy😀

Dont know about your school, mine was the bomb

 
My HS cafeteria was awesome. They made grilled sandwiches to order.

Best "stock food" day was the "Chad-Rib" (Think McRib but better) or the Irish Stew (which they served ONCE and no one but me liked).

Best sandwiches were the ones made famous by classmates. "Smelly Nadelly" (Grilled turkey + onion with swiss cheese) or the "Shabir Special" (Grilled roast beef, turkey, cheese, all the fixins. Very huge and very messy).
 
I remember that my favorite was the chicken w/ everything. It's chicken sandwich w/ lettuce, tomato, mayo and BACON. It came w/ fries, too.

How I wasn't fat in HS and gaining weight now just boggles me.
 
Nacho day was bullsh!t at my old HS. I used to love it up until an incident put an end to that. There were nachos available every day of the week, and then one day would be nacho day. The nachos normally available came in a little plastic tray with some cheese. On nacho day, you got a paper tray of about the same size, with the cheese and meat poured on top. Then you could take what you wanted as far as other toppings. The plastic tray of nachos normally went for $.50 more than a normal lunch.

Being a vegetarian, I always got nachos on nacho day without the meat on top. For some bullsh!t reason which I don't understand, nor will I ever, they *had* to give you the meat on the side, even though I threw it out the second they gave it to me. Anyway, one day there was a new worker, straight from Mexico it seemed, and she didnt understand my request of no meat. She then pointed at the plastic trays, so I took one of those and put my toppings on it. When I reached the cash line, I told her my name, as usual, so as to use my lunch ticket. She then started telling me that I had to pay an extra 50 cents for the plastic tray of nachos. I argued for a good 2-3 minutes as to why I shouldn't have to pay, as it is the *exact* same thing, but I wound up walking away without a lunch. I really don't understand what her problem was...

God, glad I'm in college...
 
Before classes started, the cafeteria would serve fresh baked cookies, but really undercooked, so they were like dough. Yummy! They were small, about 2" wide and cost a dime each, so I couldn't really afford to buy them.

As for lunch--Taco salad and BBQ chicken.
 
i always hated my high school's "lunch".


generally, when i did eat, i'd skip the expensive lines, and go for the 1.75 meals that included fries, a slice of school pizza, some salad (crappyass lettuce) and a milk carton. (when did half-pint become an acceptable size? :|)
 
We had a build-to-order sandwich line - like a Subways, but only cold cuts - during my freshman year. At the time, I had no part-time income, so I always got the biggest sandwich my dollar could buy.
 
hated high school food. luckily, i had a friend who played sports and drove at the beginning of our sophmore year (he's almost a year older than me), so he had a sports off-campus sticker. i just copied his sticker and we would go off-campus and go to jacks or a taco shop or something and eat there. cheaper and tasted a hell lot better.
 
I stopped eating lunch at my shcool in 3rd grade, (it was a very small pre-12 school) but when we were in middle school, the kids would get these pretty small apples that were just so pathetic. So I woudl usually take one from a friend, and we would have contests to see who could eat their apple in the fewest bites, core and all. I could do two bites, but my friend could do one bite by practically dislocating his jaw and covering his mouth with his hand.

that is my only memory from school lunch. And once I found five dollars.

Those were awesome! Our school went through several different shapes that had slighly varying tastes. My personal favorite was the one shaped like a narrow iscoceles triangle with the pointy end chopped off. Not a hint of crunch in those things. It had the consistency of a soft taco that had been soaked in oil. Yummy!

I eventually gave up the cafeteria food for sack lunches though. Couldn't even come close to beating the prices elsewhere though (and it showed unfortunately on most meals.)
 
I always liked Chili soup and cinamon roll day. I also like the pizza. The thing about our high school cafeteria is that you couldn't get seconds until everyone from the school had gone through, then they would server what was left to whoever wanted it. However, you could have all the butter and/or peanut butter sandwhiches that you could fit on your plate along with your first meal. And I'm not lying here when I say that they put the butter and peanut butter on with a freakin spatula, not a normal knife. So you ended up getting like a quarter to a half of an inch worth of butter or peanut butter on your sandwhich (care for any bread with your peanut butter?).....that's what I remember.
