Ya’ gotta’ love this one!

Oy gevalt! Barf City!

there’s only one way to cook that mess. extremely well done (i.e. burnt into a tasteless mass of crispiness)

Deep fry it and then add the ketchup… mmmm….

Like Army food years ago. Remmeber SOS?

Was that on the menu at “Under The Big Top” this morning?

Calamari, yum! Eggplant & Ketchup, not so much.

Calamari should definitely not be cooked to well done it becomes like rubber. How do I want it all cooked. First of all, just barely saute the squid, if there is nothing else served with the eggplant skip it and the ketchup. But this is a school, since when do you get a choice. Rubbery would be a good bet. LOL

Sounds like calamari and eggplant parmesan to me.

I don’t have a stake in this discussion.

LOL! Great one - truth in advertising.

Leave off the ketchup, and calamari and eggplant sounds great - however, NOT in a school cafeteria.

Squidward! Say it’s not yoooouuuuu….. NOOOOOOOOOOO

When the cooks on the boat would come up with a recipe that was particularly foul, we’d take extremely large servings of the stuff and dump them directly into the garbage. That way at least the guys getting off watch would get sliders instead of such dishes as Pork Pinto Adobo and Chicken Cordon Bleu, both decent enough dishes except for the way the cooks prepared them we called them “Pork Pinto Adobe” and “Chicken Condom Blew”. I am sure that somewhere, there is a Navy cookbook entitled “100 Ways To Burn Potatoes On The Outside And Leave Them Raw Inside”

Andy mustn’t get the S.T.E.A.K. recipe.

Eggplant is just purple squash. The meaty end of the squid is better than the stringy end, & it’s best raw, with or without teriyaki My ship served about a dozen variations on what we called Hong Kong slop. “It’s not just a job. It’s an adventure.” Especially on the mess deck.

i love squid and eggplant just no ketchup

Well, fortunately, it isn’t like that kind of food in school. If a lunch is something fancy, like “Turkey Tettrazini”, don’t count on it being good.

I hate school food

a friend of mine actually found a screw in the food in elimentry school……

Ugh. Putting ketchup on takoyaki (octopus deep-fried in batter until crisp and gold) would ruin it. I’d rather have Oriental hot sauce on mine.
