What school food was your favorite, if any?

[perc-o-prince]

Elementary through 8th was parochial school and bagged lunches. When I hit high school it was cafeteria nearly every day. My faves were the ravioli with buttered French bread (an extra piece of bread for $0.05), Salisbury steak with mashed and corn, and the pizza.

"when the principal would grill. (One has to wonder if that would fly in today's world..." Hey John, our local middle school does this once each Spring.

At the older high school I went to in Rapid City-SD Central high in downtown-the meals were catored.They were DELICIOUS-looked forward to lunchtime.Then-----the meals came from the state and gov't---the downtown Dairy Queen got GREAT business from the students.The later food was TERRIBLE!!!Jello that bounced like a Superball!!And trying to eat it was like biting into the Superball!!!Remember those from Wham-O toys????

Check your old school's website.

That's what I did for my Junior High and they post the next month's lunch menu. Whatever your old favorites are, they're likely no longer offered. Gone are the days of hot dogs and tater tots. Just about anything with meat or deep fried has been eliminated. Only "healthy" = no fun and bland, options exist. I couldn't even find the best desert options. Ice Cream Bars, Eskimo Pies and Ice Cream Sandwiches. Nowhere to be found! Makes me glad I was a kid in the 60's. And 50 years later I'm still here so those "unhealthy" Pizza Burgers and french fries didn't due me in!

Looks like things have improved drastically at my high school since I graduated in the late 1970s.
