/ck/ - Food & Cooking

At my school (Maine) they would do turkey, cranberry sauce, gravy, and roasted potatoes for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Some days they would have fried chicken with some other sides, and then on typical days it was usually a burger or a hot dog, mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, tater tots, pizza or some other form of typical American cuisine. There was always juice and chocolate milk, and you could also pick some chips or another snack if you wanted.
For the picky kids you could always have a chicken burger, and because of peanut allergies it was always sunflower seed butter, not peanut butter sandwiches, and there were not peanuts in anything. I went to a very poor school and we were still fed relatively well.
Either way my mom or dad packed my lunch everyday anyway so it didn't matter what was for lunch, I always had a panini or salad or some other type of sandwich and an apple, water or something else to drink.
Most kids brought their own lunches.
