straya here, no school lunches except tuckshop stuff, like egg sandwiches or rolls, pies etc. had 5 kids in my family, rarely got anything but normal lunch peanut butter or vegemite sandwich and some chips.

I didn't eat lunch as a kid and still don't. I'm just not hungry that early in the day.

>>12289803
I'd walk around picking up pennies and 2 pence coins, sometimes I'd get lucky and find a 20 pence or even pound. I'd almost always get enough for milk (20 pence) and bread (20 pence) sometimes I'd find enough to use the hot soup dispenser (if I recall, 25 pence) and I'd tear the bread up and dip it in the soup

>>12289907
Where the fuck did you live

>>12289914
England, or are you asking more specifically?

>>12289917
Nah thats sufficient

I was born wealthy so I went to private school all throughout my education. My elementary school cafeteria literally had a man standing by roasted pork to cut us slices of it if we asked him. No clue what I ate normally, probably bologna sandwiches.

>>12289907
comfy

>>12290128
Very comfy. Gave me something constructive to do during my breaks, and I fed myself (not many <10 year olds can say that), later I learned how to trick the vending machines into giving me free food simply by smashing on the return button over and over at the same time as selecting a product but fucked up by telling my friends, after sharing it was less than a month before the vending machines were replaced

>>12290150
>telling my friends
ya fucked up

>>12290164
Yeah I literally said I fucked up by telling my friends, but indeed, I fucked up and misteaks were made. Part of growing up I suppose

When I was in elementary school this girl Megan who looked like Britney Spears and always had really fashionable clothes and we all worshiped her including me, every day her mom who also always dressed in latest fashions and looked like Britney Spears would drop her off a Happy Meal from McDonalds at lunch time.

Pretty much that, it was rare for me, not every day like her, but when my mom would do it that was my supreme choice.

Other than that, I did enjoy pizza Lunchables especially when they made the XTREEM DEEP DISH ones. I also liked some hot lunches, I liked burritos and tacos, and I liked chicken nuggets to dip in mashed potato from ice cream scooper, and I liked cheeseburgers that came in bags and I dunk them in ketchup.

I remember there was some program involving a special day for Campbells Soup...I don't remember how it worked, but some would participate in it and then they would get Campells Soup for lunch on a specific day, I always thought it was "Camel soup" and thought it must be exotic and that they were more cultured than me for eating it, but years later I learned what it really was and that they were fucking idiots for wanting to eat shitty soup for lunch

>>12289803
>for me, it was homemade lunch from my dad :)
aww, that's adorable, OP

For me, it was the shitty pizza and salisbury steak.

>>12290178
That's a cat dude...

>>12289803
Whatever they served. It was always free and pretty okay lunch.

Undercooked chocolate chip cookies that were raw in the middle

>>12289803
For me, it was hiding in the library during lunch so people wouldn’t throw food at me and demand I sit at another table.

>>12289803
Would ride on the fat kids pegs to Rallys for lunch.

I would bum food off my friends to save my lunch money for WOW and weed

Fresh healthy food. What the fuck is wrong with americans selling fast food in schools?

The Spicy Chicken Sandwich was top tier lunchroom food. Did anyone else dip theirs in ranch dressing or honey mustard?

>>12289803
>for me, it was homemade lunch from my dad :)

Same, cafeteria cucks were so plebian

>>12293118
I ate it plain and gave the bun to the poor kid.

>>12289907
You just know that people tossed out some loose change now and then knowing your little gremlin ass was rooting around for money.

My school had a sub and salad line. I'd get that or knock off Chinese food in those takeaway containers or knock off kfc bowls they had sometimes

>>12293141
Doubt it. But would be a nice gesture.

>>12293150
We had
>two main lunch lines, whatever the lunch special of the day was
>salad line
>nacho line with fries as a side
>taco line

>>12289803
in elementary school sometimes we would have french toast which was an entire miniature loaf, and two sausage links. there were little packets of syrup to dip it in too.

i moved to alabama in high school. every now and then they would have fried catfish, fried okra, some other sides to choose from, and cans of gatorade.

they would also have fried chicken nuggets sometimes. until my senior year you would be allowed to pile as many as you wanted on your tray. that's when they started cracking down on how many you were allotted. the nuggets weren't soggy or chewy either. they were pretty damn tasty and crispy.

those were always my favorite lunches. on other days i just had pb&j, chips, and a fruit cup.

>>12293195
I think they had tacos on Tuesday but yeah two main lines with like burgers and pizza and the special then a sub and salad line

Public school is child abuse.

dad didn't make my lunch often but when he did he did it with the intensity of that Jon Favreau grilled cheese. mom just gave me a couple bucks for school lunch.

cheeseburgers with the melted plastic cheese and soggy half coiked fries every thursday. Im not idealizing it because i thought the same at the time that these were the best fucking cheeseburgers ever. I would get triple lunch on that day

>>12289803
Tacos most likely. I used to like the pizza but my last few years in HS they had it like once a week, mostly on Fridays and I got sick of it.

Back in elementary school soup day was the best because it meant you also got a peanut butter sandwich. Those were the best.

Did anyone else have that shit taco pizza with hot sauce and Mexican blend cheese? Always remember people getting upset on pizza day when it was offered instead of cheese or pepperoni

>>12289803
Whatever they were serving that day. The food was godly in my elementary school, shame the quality dropped when I moved on to middle school.

>when your school lunch was $1.10
>and you're kid's lunch is $3.50

>"the price increases seen in school cafeterias this year can be attributed to the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010 that was signed into law by President Obama last December. This act, championed by First Lady Michelle Obama, takes a number of steps to ensure school-age children get the proper nutrition"

By getting rid of delicious ,greasy, cheap food and replacing it with vegetables that just get thrown away, the price of school lunches has more than doubled in the last decade.

>>12289803
My favorites were
>mini corndogs
>plain mashed taters
>the mini subs which was just a 4 inch sub bun and ham
>chicken nuggets
>chicken sandwiches (but I'd just toss the bun)

In high school all of these were accompanied by an ice cream sandwich made of cookies and a bottle of Gatorade. In elementary and middle school they were accompanied by goldfish crackers and water.

>ruins your lunch
heh, nothin personel kids

>>12295797
>states don't control their school budgets
Sorry you live in a red state that contracted out their school pig trough program to the same private companies that supply prisons, but don't blame it on obama.

Try to learn enough about how the US functions by learning to pass the 100 question citizenship test which you, along with drumpf, would obviously fail.

>>12297691
>same private companies that supply prisons
you mean sysco?

The last time I ate an actual school lunch was at my son's elementary school, when they had "Thanksgiving dinner" for the kids and parents. And this was the result. Fucking disgusting.

>>12297691
>A policy founded and named after Obama
>"D-d-don't blame Obama"
Is this like how the AHC is also all the republican's fault? You do realize that Obama's little school lunch program was just a handjob to the agriculture industry, right? And that it primarily hurt mid-low income families, just like the AHC? And you're going to try and accuse someone else of not being able to pass a citizenship test? Get real.

>>12298003
Yes, yes, it really hurt those people to try and teach them how to eat sensible food that would keep them from getting the 'beetus. Also, the AHC has been proven to work, but only in states that actually accepted the whole package. If you live in a red state, your lawmakers probably didn't accept the entire package, since the Repiglicans made it so they could accept or reject any part of it they wanted to, state by state. If the AHC doesn't work where you live, blame your state lawmakers, not Obama, faggot.

At my school you could substitute the main dish for a pbj, ham, Turkey sandwich, or the majestic fluffer nutter

>>12293118
smothered that fucker in mustard, makes me wish those tyson patties were sold nearby

>>12289803
>wahhh American school lunches so bad
I hate these kinds of comparisons bc they never mention prices. As in, Americans get their school lunches for cheap or free. Meanwhile where I grew up the average school cafeteria entree came to around $12USD. No shit it was better food but it was also fucking expensive to the point that no one bought cafeteria food.

>it was homemade lunch from my dad :)

>>12289803
Elementary I ate pb&j every day

Middle school had the best fucking food. Spicy popcorn chicken and cajun fries.

High school I just didn't eat most of the time and just hoarded the lunch money i got to buy video games and eat at Chili's on the weekends

>>12289879
2 pizza 2 milk 8-12

Fortunately at home mom cooked up a lot of veggies and protein

>>12300738
There's protein in most food. There's plenty of protein in pizza and milk. It's harder to cook no protein than it is to cook lots of protein.

Leftovers from last night's dinner, a juice box and usually something like a banana or a granola bar .

whenever i ate at school i had a sandwich with brie and speck, like pic related
hower i rarely ate at school, most days i went at my grandma house

>>12289803
During highschool and college I became too lazy to pack a lunch to school so most days I'd only bring water and get a coffee and skip lunch altogether, simply sizing up my breakfast and diner

I'm so glad my mom realized our plight and let me make shitty sandwiches for lunch after 3rd grade.

>>12289803
For me, it was the Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes. The meat tasted cheap but it was covered in gravy so it tasted okay. School mashed potatoes were also really good for some reason.

>>12299111

My school actually had fucking Amazing lunches that looked more like the left pic than the right pic. It was cheap too. I don't understand how people can eat this literal prison food when I had shit like spagehtti w/ eggplant & chicken parmesan. We had a salad bar and a make your own burger line.

>>12302064
my school mashed potatoes tasted like stale water

>>12289803
Calzones. Always.

>That one kid who would mix chocolate milk and ketchup every fucking time and dare other people to eat it

I can already smell it.

I'm a big brain faggot who had study hall most if not all day in my junior and senior year, so usually my friends and I would just leave and go to McDonald's, Subway, or Denny's for lunch.

>>12294180
I had those
Weird, everyone at my school loved them

>>12289803
>elementary
They had these crazy good chicken fingers. A couple years later I thought of calling and asking where they're from, it's some fuck place in Georgia that will only sell 100lbs at a time, fuck that.

>>12293108
American public schools are run like prisons, same sort of architecture, same food, same nasty chemical smelling cleaning supplies, same ugly too white floor tiles and horrible fluorescent lighting. You can literally watch the same sodexo food boxes being unpacked and warmed in industrial microwaves in high school kitchens as in the minimum security camps, its fucking disgusting barely edible shit with absolutely no nutritional value

Some American schools even have metal detectors and armed guards for that comfy sort of oppression. The highschool I went to didn't, but if you got sent to the remedial/troublemaker school our district had you had to go through a metal detector every day, and they brought in fucking drug dogs to sniff people's lockers randomly

>>12295797
Yeah, but there's a lot of money to be made in stuff like that. I see so many people complain about stuff like school lunch price increases, or increased cost for coffee and snacks from vending machines in hospitals and all, but its a captive customer base, who wouldn't take advantage of them? Just be mad you didn't rip off the schools first

>>12304786

Israel was the first country to have armed guards at their schools since 1979? Haven't had a school shooting since.

>>12304867
Why would Israel have school shootings? There's no reason for mass propaganda on that scale there, most of their citizens are jews

>>12290198
What the fuck is this?

*blocks your path*
*double order required*

>>12289803
My high school had rice and orange chicken, but they went really fast. It was such that if you got lunch late, you could still get rubbery pizza
I liked when mom would make gimbap in the morning and pack me some for lunch.

Everyday pasta and sauce that’s it then sone days basic ham cheese wraps

I didn't have choice in what was served

My elementary school lunches were awful. It was a box that contained a soggy sandwich, a cheese log that was actually a bunch of slices of American Cheese stacked on eachother, an apple, and one of those small cartons of milk.
I eventually just stopped eating it and would just throw it away.

>>12289803
>what was your school lunch choice
I ate this every day in high school, or a large packet of Sunflower seeds with salt and a can of Coke. My gallbladder died on me before finishing 10th grade.

>>12289879
Aka cardboard pizza and rectangle milk

>>12289803
>not going hungry and saving your $2 given by your parents daily towards buying a new videogame when you were too young to get a job

>>12304786
They're not just run like prisons, they're fucking BUILT by the same companies that build prisons. In my hometown, when they built the new high school about a decade ago, the company that built it was the same company that builds most prisons in my state. I only went inside it once, when my cousin graduated, but it was completely set up just like a prison, but with classrooms instead of cells. It's pretty fucked up. It's not a good learning environment at all.

>pleb tier

Yep, true fax
I remember even as a 7th grader in the 90's in junior high remarking on how the school seemed like a prison

>>12305731
>that one fat kid who would wolf his tray down and get back in line for another meal
I was always jealous

When I was a kid:
>kindergarten through elementary school
My parents always packed my lunch. Usually it was a ham or turkey sandwich on wheat with lettuce, mustard, and cheese; either a small ziplock bag of chips, or carrot and celery sticks; and a can of V8. Sometimes there would be a thermos of homemade soup or stew, crackers, and fruit instead.
>Jr. High
Either a packed lunch (by that time, I was packing my own lunches, but it was still basically the same stuff) OR we had an independently owned food stand at the corner of the campus that sold hamburgers, frito pies, dorito pies, hot dogs, sodas, chips, and candy, and I'd buy a burger or frito/dorito pie and a soda.
>High School
We had open campus, so I'd either go out to eat with my friends, or as I got older, I'd with go my friend and buy a pack of cigarettes and a soda and drive around listening to music, or smoke a joint and then go back to campus. I always had Latin right after lunch, so being high was good for that class.

I grew up during a time where there was a bunch of stuff going on with kids eating "heathy" in school.

>Elementary:
Was pretty standard crap like a lot of people pointed out, although we generally got more sides then a lot of the pictures and had the option for a ice cream for like $.50 cents. I ate a lot of lunchables during this time. Lots of stuff like the breadtangles of pizza, crinkle cut fries, cheap burgers, cheap mixed veggies, and every now and then turkey and gravy with a roll.

>Middle School:
Quality was generally better, and we also had the concession stand that sold stuff like nachos or candy. Still not great, but was better.

>High school:
Went to two different ones. First one had a separate ala carte line with stuff like higher quality pizza or tyson chicken sandwiches. Standard food was prison level shit.

Honestly, the lines were so long and the amount of time was so short (25 minutes, and once you get in it was closer to 18 minutes). that I generally just paid one of my friends to stand in line and get me something and let them pocket some of the leftover change. I never went through the line the entire time.

Second school had pretty much the same shit as above, but more options and had vending machines where you could get soda or candy. Pretty much did the same shit, and got a snack or something out of the machines. Second year they cracked down and started doing "healthy" options, so I more or less just saved my lunch money and ate at home.

>>12289803
My school forced us to injest their discount prison food because they would "lose money". If you brought in your own food it would be confiscated and thrown away. I would just eat food from any of the nearest fast food restaurants. It was pretty comfy sneaking out and throwing pizzas under cars.

>>12304583
literally me

>>12289879
this shit was so awful it made me sneak out of school to go to 7-11 or for chinese.
Even the smell was disgusting.

In highschool we weren't allowed to go off campus for lunch. In freshman year, I was sitting at a table by myself when Cole, one of the skater kids came over with a bunch of Junior year kids and asked if they could sit with me. I didn't talk a lot, but it was nice to have company. At least until one day they joked that I looked like the kind of kid who would shoot up a school. After that I would just go to the library during lunch and nap in one of the chairs there.

Once during senior year, me and a couple of kids that I knew from English class dressed up in nice clothes and brought to the cafeteria a table cloth, some lightbulb candles, and "nicer" lunch foods like salad and quiche. It was pretty funny at the time. A lot of the people in the hot lunch line next to us wanted to get pictures.

>>12308525
Oh and one kid brought bottles of sparkling cider and plastic wine glasses.

TESTING

>>12307518
One time in elementary school, I traded with some kid for the French toast vacuum wrapped in plastic bag. I put it in my Harry Potter lunch box and forgot about it at school. When I came back on Monday, I opened up my lunch box and ate my three day old syrup soaked French toast.

I also liked dipping my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in juice from my thermos. One kid started making fun of my for it and a lunch lady came over and said I wasn't allowed to dip my sandwiches in my juice anymore.

>>12307477

What's with the milk and school lunches?
Is it litterally the only thing thay give you, or you can choose but for whatever reason everyone have milk?

>>12309762
A relatively cheap drink that provides protein and a number of trace nutrients.

>>12307480
What state are you in? My high school was designed by prison architects and is located in the middle of a cornfield.

>>12309762
milk is based that's why

>>12289803
I actually loved it

Primary school was a set lunch, not bad usually. Best part was the dessert, best one was warm melt in mouth chocolate carmale cake with custard. We used to fight each other for second helping if any was left

High school we could pick what we wanted

>>12294180
I loved these better than the rectangle pizzas.

I remember when half my school got sick because the fish patties were under cooked, so the other half got these instead. I had two. Best day ever.
