/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I wish I took pictures of my favorite school lunches growing up since I have to rely on looking up lunches online. Two I remember was back in middle school (2009-2012) we had baked chicken day. The chicken looked like breaded fried chicken but wasn't. It was cooked in the ovens and you had a choice of thigh and leg or a breast. I got the breast because it was larger and most of the time not as dry. Another favorite I had throughout the elementary to highschool was the holiday meal the day before breaks (thanksgiving & winter) they had turkey & gravy meals with mashed potatoes, stuffing, bread roll, cranberry sauce, some kind of dessert relating to the holiday like apple or pumpkin pie in a plastic square plate that fit on the tray. That's all I remember fondly of besides what's already posted on here and if I can find some pictures I took of my old school lunches which is maybe one or two of them then I'll reply to this post with what I have if the thread is still up.

I have a question for anyone who knows this back in 2005-2009 and I don't know if this was only in my school district that was doing it but for some reason my elementary school that I was in during the time was doing a thing to get kids to eat healthier by giving out some kind of square rectangle lunchable looking box with weird characters on it. The box had a polar bear a penguin and they we're all doing sporty stuff like snowboarding and playing basketball but inside the box had a plastic figurine mold toy of one of the characters playing a sport, a small comic book about the characters playing a sport, and the food. The food was one of the worst things I've ever tasted and I still remember how bad it was today because it was some kind of dried chicken rectangle with plain crackers and a packet of yellow mustard to make a sandwich with kind of like a military MRE. It was basically bait to get the kids to eat healthy. If anyone remembers what I'm talking about please reply?
