What was the shittiest thing your cafeteria cooked up? For me, it was the pizza.

[Anonymous No.15203733]

The worse was the top sirloin because it was always overcooked, the best was the chicken cordon blu because of the cheese. I remember when I use to enter in the morning and there would be a whole table and two women laying out the chicken cheese and ham and then breading it. Good times.

Lasagna, but I went to private school so even that was pretty delicious.

Idk about shitties but sometimes the food was pretty good. Like this monte cristo or orange chicken. We had this thing called cowboy bread, shit was good, breakfast pizza was good too. Thanksgiving and Christmas was based too. I think the burgers and fries were just gross though.

Literally every single fucking day we got served the same 2 shitty food options. We got a choice between either a crappy slice of shitty soggy pizza, (whole grain crust, cheese product topping, optionally with pepperoni) or a shitty soggy hamburger (shit tier ground mystery meat, whole grain bun, only toppings were ketchup or mustard). For extra you could buy a can of soda or an ice cream bar.

I can't really recall any truly terrible cafeteria food that I experienced. Probably the closest was the one time a kid found an earthworm in their fried chicken.

I only really ate school lunch in elementary school and I can't remember anything too bad.
Maybe the cold sandwiches we had as an option everyday if you didn't want hot lunch. They were also the only thing we got on field trips. Bland as hell unless you covered them in mustard and mayo. We also had these terrible taco bowl like things I can barely remember since it was like 20 years ago. They were like taco shells covered in melted cheese with a side of lettuce and hot sauce to go into them. Aside from that lunch was pretty good. Especially for a school in the ghetto.

For me, it's the soggy chicken sandwich.

[Anonymous No.15204788]

I brown bagged my lunch a lot of the time in elementary school. The middle school pizza was the generic rectangle that fit perfectly into the prison tray. No matter how many napkins you used to soak up the grease from the pepperoni, more would seemingly seep out from the tiny cubes. High school was decent because we had a Taco Bell inside. For $2, you could get 2 soft tacos and a soda (Surge was my choice). They were never properly warmed but thankfully there was a big wicker basket pull of sauce packets so I'd just douse my two tacos in Fire Sauce to make them edible. Most of the other things served in the cafeteria were decent enough but nothing was ever hot which seems like it's breaking several health codes. Slice of pizza and some tater tots - luke warm pizza and mushy tots. Chicken sandwich on a stale bun - seemed like a frozen patty that just sat at room temp all morning. Soy burger was only edible when drowned in condiments and pickles.

[Anonymous No.15204862]

Same here. Pizza was literally worse than totinos.

>>15204788
Same here senpai. We didn't have taco bell, but we did, in Middle School, have a deal with the local subway, and kids were stupid enough to pay 6 USD for a 6 inch Turkey, BLT, or Cold cut that was pre-made. They would make them in the morning and the owner drove them over in ice chests. That was what all the cool kids ate, it was how people knew you were rich was if you were seen eating that everyday. Honestly though, the Tacos were not half bad at my schools, when they bothered to make them. High school served the same shit every fucking day, and the only salvation was to drive, or bum a ride to a nearby fast food joint.

My elementary schools breakfast was fucking kino
They made these awesome bacon egg and cheese breakfast pizzas as well as a plain bagel with cream cheese served by a deliciously creamy cheese omelet that I still have dreams about to this day
My aunt used to work for the school and would bring us home big cartons of milk, juice, and donut balls from the cafeteria and it was so awesome
Also those octagon Mexican pizzas, fuck those are good

Back in my elementary days my school district was in this partnership with Pizza Hut and the cafeteria would serve some decent slices every Thursday, no toppings besides cheese though
https://www.pizzahut.com/assets/w/marketingpages/schoollunch/img/School_Lunch.gif
Eventually, I think in my 5th grade year, they pulled out, probably to cut costs. In place of the thin crust, lite cheese slices, there were then soggy, extremely greasy slices topped with flavorless cheese product and shitty greasy fake pepperonis, on top of overly sweet and really dry pizza sauce. At the very least they began ordering spicy chicken sandwiches from Tyson in addition to the regular ones that had been served for years at that point so the tolerable pizza wasn't too much of a loss.

How about some top-tier/"holy grail" meals? I remember the absolute best from back in the day being the oven baked chicken meal that looked like this except served on a disposable tray. Just had to make sure to ask the lunch lady to serve you a breast instead of the drumstick and wing/thigh. The chicken was dry because lo-fat but anyone with a brain figured out that you could use the instant mashed taters with gravy as a makeshift dip. I remember it only being served on an alternating 2-to-3 week basis, and that it was one of the only truly filling meals served in school cafeterias.

I even had an urge for one like a year ago and thought a gas station tyson microwaveable sandwich would hit the urge but it just didn't, I guess the closest thing in my mind might be a for me it's the mcchicken or a crispy chicken from wendy's, except the wendy's bread tastes too much like bread and they both come with toppings/condiments. also fuck every cafeteria worker that let half-frozen milk go out to kids that shit was like toxic and because we were retarded 7 year olds we couldn't figure out why but were also conditioned drink the milk or you will wither into dust and die extremely prematurely

Don't want this to be an anti woman thing, but yeah you'd think that given enough time and experience a woman would get good at cooking, but they seem to lack the drive to get good at things. OR they try to redefine good to encompass themselves so they are now the best/can do no wrong. Like sure, they might not be a great cook by my narrow standards, but by their expansive and great intellectual and emotional standards they are clearly great cooks who can do no wrong. Or they are the best at cooking despite their unique and challenging problems/issues.

Again, don't want to be anti woman. But to get good at something requires acknowledging your flaws and then coming up with a pragmatic approach to dealing with them. You've got to have this borderline autistic attitude where you see life as a solitary struggle against others and you will beat them and take pride in yourself and cuck others by showing them how to do things while being humble and secretly making them feel like shit because you will be a worthwhile member of your community, you will be needed, respected and sought out amongst your peers because without that you won't sleep at night.

I think it is testosterone personally. I find women adopt a flighty couldn't give a shit attitude to deflect criticism and imply that they've got higher value because they are too busy caring about something else.

Honestly I think it is confidence. I expect that for millions of years outspoken and opinionated women were beaten half to death round the clock and as such they've developed a collaborative, group focused, keep the peace approach which means you don't stand out and I don't think it fosters as much exceptionalism.

Men are like "ha ha I beat you, fuck you, look at me". For most of history that attitude would have gotten a girl a black eye.

I can't eat until afternoon, maybe 3-4 pm. As an adult, most days I don't eat until the afternoon I always did not want to eat during school lunches. My mom would pack me food and would give me money for food. There were 3 poor people in my friend group at my lunch table and I always gave my food to them or I'd just buy something and give it to them. I went to 7 different schools and 3 high schools so it was always difficult finding friends. One school had a cafeteria and also like 3 booths around the school the sold food and students were just let loose for lunch time. I always loved buying a chicken sandwich and then going to the pavilion. A few of my friends sold drugs and sometimes brought vodka in a water bottle. My brother and I would joke about it and we passed a water bottle around in the hall and had a teacher come check it was water. I always love giving them shit so they feel like an asshole when they need to check so they don't check when we're up to shit. That school was so trash.

[Anonymous No.15215083]

My (public) school in rural CT always had a number of different options. K-2 had the usual rotating hot lunch fare + PB&J w/ cheese stick + cold cereal w/ milk as options. Grades 3-5 had the same as K-2, but began offering salads as well. Grades 6-8 had rotating hot lunch + cheeseburgers + chicken patties + rotating hot sandwich (often philly cheese steaks or hot dogs) + full service deli + salads + pizza stations (cheese and a rotating topping pizza). Basically all of those options cost between $2.25 and $3.75. Deli sandwiches were a little pricier.


Also had chips/cookies/juices/frozen yogurts/parfaits/frozen novelty ice creams available from 6th grade onward. In grades 6-8 you could pay a little extra (like 40 cents more) and get one of the hot sandwiches in addition to the regular hot lunch, so for like $3.25 you'd be chowing down on a bunch of corn dog nuggets, fries, mixed veg, a philly cheesesteak, a piece of fruit, and a milk.

Worst lunches: Friday square pizza, tuna melts, sloppy joes. Best lunches: french toast sticks, corn dog nuggets, tacos.

Worst was the square pizza slices in elementary. Worse than frozen pizza, flimsy crust with no handle end, bland cheese with sparse bits of sausage, little sauce, yuck.
The best were my high school's big meaty BBQ-rubbed chicken legs. Seriously top notch, juicy and delicious. The burger patties there were pretty darn good too, but the fries were overly starchy and gave heart burn.

Man I can't believe I almost forgot about those Smuckers PB&J sandwiches that were introduced as a reliable backup lunch choice at my elementary/middle school cafeterias. For the longest time I never really got all of the jokes/anecdotes about disgusting school cafeteria food in cartoons and whatever since I was rarely grossed out by anything I was served. Was a hell of a picky eater back then too.

Dude thanksgiving and Christmas “dinners” in high school were so based. Frozen turkey drenched in gravy with corn and stuffing on the side. My god that stuffing slapped

I remember that too, always thought the gravy and stuffing were kinda meh but the frozen turkey, instant mashed potatoes, yeast rolls and canned cranberry sauce were all great together. Also built some serious hype for the actual Thanksgiving feast with the family in the following days.

it was mostly ok, but bland.
only thing I really hated was spinach with potatoes.
don't get me wrong, I like fresh spinach and even the frozen one is ok, but as shool lunch...

they watered it down like you wouldn't believe.
it was like they cooked spinach for 20 persons, and watered it down to serve 200.
literally green water. every time.
and no one really liked the mushy blood sausage they had once a week...

These were good.
They never had that much cheese in them though let's be honest.

Don't know if anybody else had pic related but they were always fucking delicious.

chicken patty sandwich. fortunately, I usually brought my own lunch so I rarely ate at the cafeteria. When I switched schools that one had a much better cafeteria but I still just brought food from home because waiting in line sucked. Also, how was the pizza the worst thing they had? it's pretty hard to make a horrible pizza.

Dude, I completely forgot these existed. These things rocked, its a shame I barely ever got them because my class always got let out late and they were always bought up.

These threads really need to have people posting their high school graduation date to put into perspective what era their food came from.

Almost all of it looked disgusting until high school when they had a separate kiosk that had fried chicken strips and salads.

The two worst things were the spaghetti with bolognese sauce. It had a really piercing smell that would just catch the back of my throat and make me want to throw up. So many people would eat this, and the smell would be everywhere. Water droplets from steam would be dripping off of the sides of it, and I had to stop myself from dry heaving a couple times until I got used to it.

The other thing was these dinner rolls with a bag of mushy meat chili sludge that they just heat up and glazed over the buns. People loved these. Same thing where they had this really strong odor and grossed me out, but these were really popular and people would eat them more, so I hated them even more.

With both even into high school they were messy, so people would get bits of shitty cafeteria ground beef and tomato sauce splattering around, and sometimes people would have food fights with this shit which was even worse.

I grew up with a single mother struggling to make income, but I refused to eat that shit, so I just opted to take a jar of peanut butter to school or eat a couple granola bars instead for cheap calories. I only started getting the chicken strips in high school when I had a job.

Pretty much all of my grade school years until junior and senior year of high school I had nothing to eat until I got home when we really just had pasta, herbs, butter, various canned stuff, peanut butter, eggs, and that was pretty much it. If I wanted protein outside of that I would beg my mom for chicken mc nuggets.

I can't deal with any kind of shitty poverty meat. shitty ground beef, spam, hot dogs, bologna, any of that shit. Rather eat peanut butter straight than eat that.

Graduated in the middle of the second Obama term, somehow school lunches didn't go to shit for my schools, just some whole grain nonsense here and there with chicken sandwich buns and whatnot.
