Remember back when you were a kid and didn't have a care in the world about what you ate....yeah I miss those days, especially the school lunches! So let's gets nostalgic and tell me what your favorite school lunch was! Mine was the chicken strips that were the size of pencils, mashed potatoes, a roll and the vanilla flavored milk

Leftover KFC. Everyone was always jealous of the kid who brought in those two cold drumsticks.4

Nacho day was always my favorite! I liked those little brownie cakes with powdered sugar on top, too. I remember being able to buy snacks if you brought extra money, so I would save up 50 cents for a zebra cake. : ) Yum Yum.4

Pizza!!!!4

I'll 2nd Pizza day!1
-
Italian Dunkers! Basically cheesy garlic bread with marinara sauce to dip it in.1
-
Chicken sandwiches!2
-
And the dinner rolls. They had the best dinner rolls!4
-
Turkey Twizzlers, until Jamie Oliver ruined everything.3

With a big family, we only got hot lunch once or twice a month. It was almost always pizza day!
So to add to the fun, what was the worst school lunch? At my school they had something called baloney cup. It was a slice of baloney (bologna) with a scoop of fake mashed potatoes in the middle and a sprinkle of processed cheese on top. Then baked in a muffin tin until it was hard and shaped like a "cup". Nobody could ever figure out how to eat it. With your hands? with a fork? I tried it once and thereafter saved my hot lunch days for pizza.2 -
Square pizza and chocolate milk5
-
Gotta go with pizza, too.1
-
Vegetable Beef Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwich. I loved those *kitten* sandwiches!2
-
We had "pizza bread". I don't know if my school was too poor to make real pizza or what but pizza on french bread was a delicious idea.

I didn't normally do school lunch, usually brought it from home. But on pizza days I'd beg my mom for lunch money lol. So, I remember that as a favorite from elementary school. + Choco milk.1

Pepperoni sandwich. Two slices of bread drowning in butter with marinara, mozzarella, and pepperoni sandwiched in between. We liked to call it the 'Heart Attach' lunch, but it was delicious.1

It was pizza day for me as well. And by pizza I mean those overly-greasy square things they plopped on your tray that you had to fold in half like a taco or lose all your toppings. But they were so good!, LOL
@kam26001 , French bread pizza is amazing!! Makes for a perfect quick weeknight dinner! You just reminded though of when we had spaghetti and "garlic bread". It was almost always leftover hamburger buns that were going a little stale. So they just slapped garlic butter on them, toasted them and called it "garlic bread"

I went to a few schools when I was growing up, and none of them served lunch. Everyone either went home for lunch or brought their own. Is it a normal thing for schools to serve lunch to kids?
The only food I remember being served was a snack in kindergarten, and it was cheez whiz on saltine crackers, and it was awful!1 -
Stromboli or Saulsbury steak w/ buttered noodles. And chocolate milk on Fridays!1

You must have gone to very small schools? It's very common for school lunch to be offered for students from K-12, at least here in the U.S.1 -
I think my mom packed me a bologna sandwich pretty much everyday...2

My school had HUGE fluffy rolls. They were the only thing worth eating there. Sometimes I would just buy a couple of rolls instead of a lunch tray.
We lived near the lady who made these rolls and I have her recipe for them, but I'm sort of afraid to try it. When we've tried it in the past, they weren't nearly as good--I think the recipe doesn't scale down well--and I'm also concerned that I'll eat the whole pan.1 -
Sounds like Handi-Snacks.. so good!crabbybrianna wrote: »The only food I remember being served was a snack in kindergarten, and it was cheez whiz on saltine crackers, and it was awful!

It was a long time ago and I don't remember liking anything very much. Late 70's to early 1980's Maybe mac and cheese. I took my lunch often in my cool metal Peanuts lunchbox and it was usually a sandwich, thermos of milk, fruit? I remember cheese sandwiches- white bread, velvetta, miracle whip.
My elementary school did not have a kitchen that I knew of. I'm not sure how the food got prepared. It was served from a table set up in the corner of the gym.1 -
Chicken noodle soup & egg salad sandwich
We never had pizza, but they made pizza buns out of hamburger buns, and they were really good1 -

I went to schools in Canada and the US (Alberta and Washington state). Maybe they were small? I didn’t think they were that small, they were pretty normal schools. My high school had a cafeteria where you could buy food, but it wasn’t very good and most people didn’t eat from there. I remember everyone bought hash browns and chips, but not much else.

Oh and Lunch Lady Dave, the guy in the sweat pants, made the most amazing maple walnut cookies. At least he said he was making them. Now that I'm older and wiser, I think he was full of *kitten*.2
