Pretty shit. We had a Subway in our HS, but they only served the shite meats so we just ate off campus basically every day.

Strangely, our cafeteria let you get your food from an outside window and inside the kitchen.
The indoor kitchen served your traditional tray meal with dried out and flavorless "healthy" options with a greasy side item, like pasta or a burnt out piece of baked chicken.

Outside, they just served pre-packaged microwavable goods with a milk.
Guess which one was more popular?

Fridays had a delicious rectangle of pizza...oh and string beans. There were rare days when we had these delicious bbq ribwiches, to this day i still cant find that same flavor. I still remember all i had to pay was 85c, and this was back in 1990-4.

I honestly can't remember much of lunch from my elementary days. Mostly because my mom would make one to take. I'm sure my schools had the regular stuff that most in the US do.

My most vivid memory is of rectangle pizza slices little pepperoni cubes and a lot of the kids putting ranch dressing on it. The other one is of mashed potatoes with turkey gravy. Both of these tasted awful.

Jr high and High School had better lunch options. A salad bar, a sandwich bar, milkshakes and soft serve ice cream. They had the regular stuff too like burgers and hot dogs. Then there was days when they had taco salads, or fried rice and egg rolls. I mostly did the sandwich bar.

Im currently working as a cafeteria worker and my god, school food has gone to shit.

We serve unsweetened apple sauce which taste like nothing but mush. We also serve tacos and the ground beef has no salt at all so it tastes really awful.

Every Wednesday is pizza day where we just serve pizza, but its not even the good kind. Its just frozen greasy pizza which tastes awful.

It wasn't very good but we had several choices.

There was one bar that always had burgers, sandwhiches, fries, a salad bar, pizza bar, and one bar that had something different everyday. Wednesday they always had fried chicken that was top notch.

Oh and the sweet tea was good, wasn't even mad after they removed soda from the school because they tea was always top notch and they kept it (funny they kept it considering it was as sugary as the sodas)

>> No.5831464

The only thing I remember about elementary school, junior high, and high school (all using the same cooks) was the rolls. They were pretty boring.

The food itself was boring as well.

College, on the other hand, was quite good food. I've eaten at a number of college cafeterias, some of which were pretty bad, but two of them were really excellent. I ended up attending one of the two.

College: food wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good unless they were doing a special menu inspired by some real chef. Got off that shit and learned to cook. Actually only sort of learned to cook, but it didn't make me fat like the meal plan, so it was better,

I went to an elementary school in a small town, and they had a bunch of old southern ladies working the kitchen, so we always had fresh cooked meals for lunch.

Middle school wasn't too bad. They had your typical school lunch stuff (frozen lasagnas and casseroles with a side of canned vegetables). They also had a chef salad available that they made fresh every morning. It had chunks of ham and turkey, and cherry tomatoes. Plus Chick-Fil-A on Thursdays.

High school was fucking terrible. A bunch of illegal Haitian immigrants, none of whom spoke English, pumping out cold pizza every day. Yes, they served frozen pizza every day. It wasn't the good pizzas, either, it was the cheap pizza with rubber for cheese and tomato sauce that tasted like battery acid.

A lot of takeaways opened up around our school. We had Chinese, two Indians, some traditional bakeries (twas in the old city center), a pizzeria, a Döner shop, Mexican and McDonalds.
Most of these were even cheaper than our school cafeteria, because the law put 19% on food that was not freshly made (our cafeteria just heated up frozen stuff), instead of the regular 7% for food.
Only the poor children that were not allowed by their parents to leave the school grounds in the mid-day break had to eat at the cafeteria.
Our year room always smelled of curry and döner. We even found a döner once behind the radiator after the winter break.

It was usually OK with the occasional bad day where the food was blatantly cheap or too dry; there was always an alternate menu with the junkier foods that tasted better. Still, I dreaded sitting down with my friends because there'd always be one autist who'd go out of his way to say, "what is that?" because it was school food, when it was something basic like fucking pasta and tomato sauce. Fucking memes I tell ya.

I'm not weird. I was in sports and extracurricular activities as a child so yes I was normal and had friends.

Really good
I live in a socialist paradise so we got healthy balanced homemeals and most of them tasted good too.

I interned at the Y and sometimes helped out with the PE program they had there. Holy fuck, the kids were so fucking weird. They had no social filter.

Where I live elementary school is K-7 and HS is 8-12 no middle school. There was no school lunches at my elementary school. At my HS there was a class grade 11-12s could take called "Cafeteria" which taught how to cook for large amounts of people in a commercial kitchen and the 2 classes they had would cook breakfast or lunch depending on what block the class was in. It had an actual chef as a teacher with an assistant and it was closely monitored to make sure the kids wouldn't fuck with the food, you would get a immediate fail in the class and a suspension if caught. Because of this we always had really good freshly cooked food to buy at lunch. I still miss the godlike cookies we would make.

I went to a nice small catholic private school. We had the best food. It was seriously like a new meal every day of the month. They had probably at least 30 different meals planned out, instead of just rotating a menu 3 times a week.

Some of my favorites were the spaghetti and meatballs. They would come with the softest breadsticks on the planet, they were orgasmic. They also did god-tier breakfast-for-lunch, which frensh toast sticks and all the eggs you could eat.

Then I moved, went to a ghetto school that served by far the worst, coldest, greasiest, grayest pizza I've ever seen, ultra-dry "spicy" chicken burgers that felt like a rock between two buns found under a couch, and finally salad. Just salad. It was a few leaves that had the texture of a used band-aid. Those were the they things they served, every fucking day. How that was legal I will never know.

Needless to say I started making my own lunches, and that's how my cooking journey started.
