That’s why in High School, I used to go to McDonalds, freshman year, and every other year I had a Car, so I would just go home and eat, the food at McDonald’s was edible kind of unlike the Cafeteria food. What’s interesting was Grade School, we had good lunches, middles School it wasn’t bad but High School, dirt would have tasted better.
When I was in high school, my grandmother worked in the cafeteria. If the lunch was something she knew I didn’t like, she had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich ready for me. :-)
@K.C. I agree about McDonalds. The taste is barely acceptable. The worst part, for me, is that everything there makes me regurgitate rather quickly. Even the fries (which ARE good) make me sick. I have no idea what they use on their products, but it doesn’t sit in my system. The last time I tried to eat there was 5 years ago. I thought one fry would be harmless . . . I was wrong!
I remembered school lunches fondly…fresh and home cooked. The lady who made the biscuits was a next door neighbor. Friday’s homemade veggie soup was my favorite…Then my kids started school….I wouldn’t feed that processed, cardboardy, mess to the pigs. I keep seeing where school lunches are a priority with the current first lady and they keep showing her with a group of inner city kids in gardens. Where does that fresh produce go? Not to any schools around here.
Thankfully, our local school makes good warm lunches. I can’t imagine my kids being there all the school day with nothing but some cold sandwiches (that have sit in their bag for hours) to eat.
I used to for a short term at a school for lunches was prepared to be transferred to public schools. Lunches really not that bad.My daughter decided she wanted to come home for school lunch and I had to write a note allowing that but time was very limited. This a small school. Then there was built across from the schools a Subway and hamburger place good place lot of HS students go there unsure during lunch time but after school for sport practice.
My husband’s parents never got pizza when he was a kid so all he ever had was the cardboard with ketchup and mustard stuff they served in school until he went to college. He was really surprised it was actually good…

Um… who puts tofu on a peanut butter sandwich? I know, Andy Fox does, but seriously.

My favorite was ravioli. Turns out they were canned in brine but were excellent. Worst was mystery meat pattie and cardboard pizza.

Kids, pack your own lunches!
Mind you, peanut butter and tofu sounds intriguing…

Last time I ate at McDonald’s I was driving between two meetings about 15 minutes apart and had about 45 minutes to do it. That was over 10 years ago.
