Hey guys. I’m pregnant and have been craving the spicy chicken tenders from school lunches and k can’t figure out what brand they used. I’ve tried the Tyson chicken tenders and they’re not the same! Are there any people that worked at school cafeterias that can help me please! I’m desperate

NYC Public HS Lunch, 2020

Usually was a lot more/better than this, this was just a particularly bad day. As far as I remember, this was all that was offered, maybe they ran out of other options when it was my turn. The cheese could count as protein I guess. Pre-pandemic 2020 for clarification.

Redditors, did anyone else have this as their favorite hot lunch at school?

I'm a 90's baby who grew up and went to public school in Southern California. I remember in my elementary school, there was this one hot lunch that was served to us students that consisted of the UGLIEST turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy that you ever saw in your kid life... but it was secretly the most delicious lunch the school ever served. It was my favorite; but I, nor anyone else at my school admitted it was their favorite too out of fear of being teased and bullied for it because it was truly the ugliest food LOL. It wasn't until my adulthood when I spoke with many other 90s baby Californians from all different school districts that told me that they were also served the same hot lunch in elementary and it was their favorite one too but no one at school wanted to admit it! Im just wondering if there are any other people from any other geographic location that recall this hot lunch from their childhood but was too embarrassed to admit that they loved it?

My kids don't have phones (K and 2nd grade), so no food pics. But some of their menu items sound bananas.

They just recently transferred to a new (public) school and mentioned the lunches and breakfasts are so much better, and even asking me to make some of their meals for dinners.

Got curious and this is just some selections from this month.

BISON?! They're getting BISON? They're eating better than I am with my cup of noodles at work every day haha. And poutine?! I can't afford cheese curds! 😂

Nashville School District “lunch” - “Philly Steak Mac with Soggy Tater Tots and a Rotten Apple”

So this is the best that the richest country in the world can do? Sometimes I don’t even get lunch because we’re the last lunch period of the day.

How do elementary schools handle the money if the kids have to actually pay for their lunches?

I only have taught in Detroit, and there’s free breakfast and lunch for all students.

It seems like it would be so complicated for the little kids to deal with keeping their money safe, counting it out, getting change, etc. Wouldn’t that take FOREVER?

My students just go through the line and get their food and eat. I’m so confused how you can these kids managing money and making transactions every day.

Surprise in today’s vegetarian nachos….

Everything was delicious but the tortilla chips under the TVP chili and velveeta had a crunchy surprise I choked on.

It was 3 chips that had somehow fused together folded over.

I guess that is my reminder to slow down and chew my food thoroughly. Luckily the kids surrounding me were compassionate and didn’t laugh at me for choking on my food and having to fish it out of my mouth and make certain it wasn’t some kind of foreign object. One of the other adults asked my kindly if I was ok, so that was nice.

My Very Bougie Salad had no surprises, and they had black beans instead of chickpeas which was cool.

Last week, grilled tomato and cheese (and cheese sticks)

They were both really good. Although the sandwich was visually not very appealing, it tasted great.

The “not Bosco” sticks are always really good. The dipping sauce was a little thin, but I was the first one through the lunch line, so maybe that’s why.

Help! What was the giant garbage disposal called?

When I was in elementary and middle school (1997-2006) I remember there being this HUGE open portal of whirling trash water built into the wall where we were expected to throw away our trash.

The smell of sour milk and rancid shepherds pie loomed in the corner of the cafeteriawhere it was located.

I lost several lunchboxes into it while carelessly tossing away sandwich crusts and Danimals yogurt bottles.

I tried finding it online, but no luck. Does anyone know what this monstrosity was called?

Please and thank you!
