I'd give almost anything just for a bite of the spicy chicken sandwiches my high school had, or the strange molded pork chops that were absolutely delicious.

Save A Lot grocery store here has the pizza. I bought some a few years ago for nostalgia but of coarse it isn't the same :). I want to say they also had the Mexican pizza but I can't be sure of that, I'll check next time I over there. You can buy it online but it looks like you will have to buy 72 of them so you better really like it.

rectangular school "pizza" is awful. i don't know why anyone who could afford totino's for $1 would even think of buying it.

My favorite was the chicken sandwiches and the apple crisp. Spaghetti day wasn’t bad too! I really miss the bread rolls with the cube of cheese in the middle.

I have often suggested cutting back on welfare checks mailed to the home for unlimited school food available to all. No more beggars at freeway ramp. Cops can tell folks to go eat. More jobs, more availability. No worrying about misuse of funds. We do not decline healthcare but food?

man, all the hospital food i ever had was garbage

the only decent options were 1) the pudding and 2) anything at the mcdonald's which used to be inside the hospital until the new CEO kicked it out

It varies, one of the hospitals nearby has some pretty decent food, another has the stereotypical bleh food.

hindsight is clearer than 20/20 i guess

I wonder if the SBI of Illinois is going to/has already subpoena'd this thread for evidence?

...lol, that sounded so stupid:

FBI: "Hello, internet; we are going to subpoena this thread!"

That would be awesome if Perknose or Allisolm has testify under oath that it was in fact Waggy who wrote that he likes to eat lunch with elementary school children and they did not alter his post.

Hahahaha

Not the one I was at. It was surprising pretty good. But the one hospital in town is garbage. Yet they are the same company.
