    Never carried my lunch. Always ate in the school cafeteria. Except when in high school. Could leave campus and go get something .

    She didn’t ask what he trades if for. It might be more nutritious. Eating honey someplace where you can’t wash your hands is risky.

    These days, peanut butter is often not allowed in schools, to prevent peanut-induced anaphylaxis. However, now studies have said that removing peanut products hasn’t been shown to prevent food reactions.

    If he’s never eaten one, how does he know he prefers what he trades it for?

    I got excited, because at first I thought it said peanut butter and baloney.

    You are aware that some schools have banned peanut butter sandwiches for kids who bring their lunch due to peanut allergies.

    I grew up on peanut butter and honey, literally. Four pounds of each per month for ten years. Not one person ever had an allergic reaction in all those years. Not that I swapped, nobody had anything I liked better.

    That was half the fun of eating lunch at school; seeing what kind of ‘gourmet’ meal you could trade for. Even lunch money was on the bargaining table.

    We had a “mid morning break” in elementary school where we ate a snack we brought from school. One girl in my class always brought an apple that had been peeled with the peel put back on so it wouldn’t turn brown. And, she also had a few pecan halves. I was always envious of her! I can’t even remember what I brought, but, it wasn’t as good as a peeled apple and pecans. Sometimes now I think back with nostalgia of that mom taking such loving care with her daughter.

    I was just remembering the other day how mom used to tell us about her days as a farm child in the Depression and soon after. She said she felt jealous of other kids that had “fancy” bologna sandwiches when she “only” had ham or roast beef!

    Trading lunches is not allowed at my elementary school. It cuts down on bullying (and annoyed parents) as well as allergen exposure.

    The problem is many schools do not allow children to do this anymore. Food allergy issues.

    I read that as “Peanut butter and Lioney”, which I’m sure Hammy would enjoy.

    For my son the hot commodity was his tuna sandwiches. I was shocked. He said nobody could understand why he liked tuna. When they found out that his did not have “yucky chunks” in it they tried it and liked it. (I seasoned it with onion and celery powders and Miracle Whip. Yes, he is ‘on the spectrum’; this dislike of mixed texture is common in my family.)

    In LOCAL HERO the newcomer asked the lobsterman how the lobsters he trapped tasted. The fellow responded he didn’t know because they cost/paid so well he never ate any, just sold them to buyers in London.

    Peanut butter and Lioney sandwich? Huh? ? Is this some regional thing? WTHeck? Thinks about going to Google. _Reads__line_ again. HAHAHAHA . . . honey.

    Super tasty that combo of PB and honey. Especially on toast with melty butter!

    My weekly “allowance” was whatever the cost of a week’s worth of school lunch was. It was my choice what I got. A full lunch, a la carte (milk, fruit, cookie, etc.), bring a sandwich from home… Whatever was leftover on Friday was mine.

    A peanut butter & honey sandwich doesn’t qualify as lunch, sorry, Wanda.
