Yep.
Then once I got into high school Fridays also became baked potato day(you still had the option for pizza). I always got a potato w/shredded cheese and bacon bits.

Mom was cook in the 60 's. They had a giant roller tub that actually pealed potatoes for mashing. All bread was homemade yeast rolls. Milk was 3 cents a carton. Lunch wasn't free. Cheap but not free.

Two fishsticks, catsup, rice, English peas, and some type dessert. And those school house rolls.
I sort of get emotional when thinking about school lunches. You see, I grew up in the day when there were no free school lunches yet lunches were priced so cheap thanks to Earl Long that $1.25 a week would feed you.
Yet a lot of kids brought their lunch and their sack was really pretty pitiful. They weren't bring a lunch because they didn't like the food, they couldn't afford the 25 cents. Often we'd share our food knowing they didn't have two nickels to rub together.
A lot of kids back then actually got their best meal at school. Lots of poor, sawmill town youngsters whose families had a difficult time making ends meet.
And we were a segregated society back then so I ain't talking about minorities. Every damn body was poor but most of us didn't realize it.
No doubt the situation was as dire in the black schools if not worse.

Friday lunch at my elementary school in Texas was always a fried fish filet, excellent pinto beans and homemade cornbread or hush puppies. The food those Mexican ladies turned out was just amazing.
Then I arrived in Baton Rouge. Lunch my first day at my new school was a fried slice of bologna topped with a scoop of mashed potatoes and a melted slice of American cheese food.
I brought my lunch from home thereafter…

Moved here in 4th grade from Massachusetts. School lunches were an eye opening experience. After 50 years, I’m a Baw now so I’m all good. But those hotdogs baked in dough. Yuk!

Are you saying you didn’t like spaghetti, collard greens, and cornbread Wednesdays?

45-50 years later, we are still talking about how great the lunches were at our New Orleans grade school.

We had pizza every day if you wanted it. Pizza, Salad Bar, then random daily hot meal. Pizza line was by far the longest though.

I always enjoyed the cornbread.
Finally tasted it again after 35 years at a grandparents lunch. I complimented the staff on the cornbread and asked the cafeteria supervisor to tell me how they made it.
They said they couldn’t share the cornbread recipe.
I called aymond’s office ( the bishop dog ) and told them that I now realized how secretive the Catholic diocese was. And to give this message to aymond.
If they couldn’t give up the cornbread recipe, how could we expect the bishop to give up the kid diddlers.
They sent the recipe in less than an hour.

You can still get this at Sam's club. My wife thought I was crazy when I bought a box for nostalgia reasons. Ahhh memories.

Every day in the cafeteria was good except Wednesdays: shepherd's pie.
