Do you niggers even realize the horror that was, and still is Finnish school food?
It may be free, but it tastes fucking disgusting.
Take example A:
Meat stew.
The stew itself: Almost clear liquid with chives and possibly fucking oregano and other unknown plants chopped in there.
The meat: small pieces of tough, ambiguous meat that doesn't taste like meat or nevertheless, food.
The entirety tastes like somebody who only drank water and ate spices vomited into a dish and put cooked rat anuses on top of it.
The drinks are a choice of milk, water or piimä.
Also this bread.
It was the only thing that sustained me all throughout elementary school along with porridge and fish sticks.

>>8894341

People still think it's good that we have free school food though.
It shouldn't even be considered food.
That's actually why most people sneaked into nearby stores in highschool.
In elementary school that shit was impossible. The teachers had fucking hawk-eyes. Every time somebody took one step beyond the limits of the school yard, a teacher in a yellow reflective vest fucking sprinted after them and caught them. It was like a small-factor concentration camp of sorts.

Back in my Elementary School days we'd sometimes have pizza for lunch. This was before Michelle "Can't Get Obese If They Won't Eat" Obama's time.

The schools would have food distributors and of the bigger contractors had a line of small rounded pizzas that came sealed in tough plastic bags. The idea was to grab the frozen pizzas and warm them with the plastic still on them to retain moisture.

The pizza dough could range from stuff to doughy, the sauce was sweet as hell, and the "cheese" tastes of chemicals but it tasted so damn good to my child self.

These fucking lunch hotdogs. Amazingly, this image I googled is from a school district about an hours drive from where I grew up. They didn't even taste like a shitty hotdog, they just...absorbed the flavor of things around them, sort of like tofu I guess. The problem was the texture. Something about their composition, or the way they were cooked (boiled in a pot...steamed somehow?) rendered them a profound rubberiness, such that you could easily bend one in two without the dog breaking. If dropped, they would bounce instead of rolling. We had them at least once a week.

Not that bad compared to some people, but I did go to a pretty rich school.

We don't have school lunches around here. However, we've once had the Potato Lady comming across who did a day where she tought us potato-based dishes (we were in elementary school). We've had multiple stations, and which we were supposed to prepare potato-based dishes. She gave us a sheet with a recipe and we were supposed to cook it alone, she only came around to occasionally check if we chopped of our fingers and to taste. Well, our station was about making Bratkartoffeln. We prepared them, but as they were ready, she came around and tasted it. She said that it was good, but lacked salt, so she added salt. A shit ton of salt. Then she tasted it again and said tht it was good. We were supposed to eat it too, so we ate it. And it was salty. It was absurdly salty. I still can taste the salt from the potatoes and it happened a decade ago.

Feels bad man. I can't wait until she runs and young people will vote against her specifically because of this. My school was the shit. We had 12 different lines with various shit in each. We had popcorn chicken, cheeseburgers, pizza, tendies, and all that shit. But one by one they just got replaced. Popcorn chicken got a new coating and it didn't have that crunch anymore. Burgers buns were never white again. Pizza portions became smaller (though I never ate them so I don't know how the taste was impacted) and the tendies were changed as well. Before that, the worst thing was probably spaghetti. Sometimes we had new things that the school never gave us before. Some were shitty, but I can't remember anything in detail.

The two best things were both Pizza. One was in middle school where we had stuff crust pizza, and the other was that square cut sausage breakfast pizza. I'll probably try to replicate it one day because it was seriously great.

Back in the 90s my cafeteria food typically consisted of this, both in grade school and high school (I attended from 1988-2000):

* Square Pizza, ultra thin crust (that was not crispy), with some kind of sausage that was almost powdery

* Mcdonalds McRib knockoff of some kind, the meat was fucking orange colored

* A Dollop of some kind of peanut butter stuff with honey in it I think.

* Chili

* Meatloaf, that tasted worse than the local homeless shelter's meatloaf

* Various vegetables, usually corn, typical canned quality

* Dry Cornbread

* Baloney Sandwich with a slice of American Cheese on it

* Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich (I discarded these)

* Chicken and Dumplings (I discarded this, watery).

* Chicken Noodle Soup

When I was a kid, I went to a smaller Catholic school (less than 400 students) that originally did not serve lunches. The school ended up getting food service eventually, and since it was a small building, everything had to be prepared offsite and delivered. Besides the fact that the food would be lukewarm if you had one of the later lunch periods, the catering company or whatever the school had a contract with would sometimes fuck up really badly, so that the lunch would be stuff like frankfurters between 2 slices of whole wheat bread.

I remember my shithead friends and I would just make disgusting creations with parts of the lunch, like mixing coffee milk, Italian dressing, and apple juice together or some shit. It was all fun and games until you were the "volunteer" who had to take out the trash bags to the dumpster. The school got the cheapest trash bags available, and they were guaranteed to rip apart on the poor bastard who had to take them out (they tended to rip most when they were being put in the dumpster, so whoever was throwing them out would be covered in a stew of milk, capri sun, and whatever condiments were on the lunches).

Sorry that you and your fatty burger friends can't engorge themselves in school anymore, kid.

This list is exactly what we got, in southern Ohio. That pizza was so amazing in a school setting, would be absolute trash anywhere else. There would always be that fat kid who would eat the pieces that were too burnt or undercooked, and then he would offer to take up people's trays so he could eat their leftover crust kek.

In eighth grade my parents sent me to a school away from my friends because it was closer. I ended up eating all my lunches under an overpass or in a forest nearby. Thank god I developed depression and it scared them into sending me to a school with my friends again..

>i guess the michelle obama shit just never hit us because for the 3 years we ate in the cafeteria, it was always great

fun fact: the healthy, hunger free kids act of 2010 (michelle obama shit) didn't set any pre-determined menu for schools nationwide. outside of greatly expanding free and reduced lunches, the act merely made it so that the USDA had the authority to set minimum and maximum nutrition values in food served to kids.

all the food served in a school is still up to the district's superintendent and varies from school to school.

you were probably very lucky and lived in a district that at least did that right

i guess so. my district had like 3 administrators in the time i was there, and i guess they tried to push the nutritional shit a couple times, but gave up every time. "healthy" breading on the chicken? never seen again the next day because everyone hated it. forcing kids to take fruit they didn't eat and would just throw out? given up after a month. whole wheat bread? went from mandatory to optional in a week.
granted when i said "great", it's not like we were eating gourmet or anything, but it was definitely edible. would-eat-outside-of-school tier. you're right, i feel lucky my administrative staff didn't really try to fuck with lunch tbdesu.
