School lunches were shite, especially the "hamburgers."
Oh I never ate those mystery meat hamburgers. The sandwich line was bullshite. I have a sneaking suspicion that all the bread came from the day old bread store down the road. Always stale.
I stuck with the meat and three line. Cause that hamburger steak was handmade and legit.

Graduated in 96 so same as you basically. But I was a poor free lunch kid so I always ate in the cafeteria.
Can't complain too much about the food.....since it was free and all.
I remember fried chicken Fridays at my HS.....the line was crazy for that it never failed.
Remember the bag milks. Also......the cafeteria rolls were always awesome. With that corner buttery edge to it. You didn't eat your roll....someone would ask you for it they were that good.
ETA: we didn't have different lines btw. One line.....one or two entree choices available tops each day.

It was absolutely terrible k-12 in several school systems.

I usually ate school lunches. Things that I remember include:
big square pizza that was different from any other pizza yet was tasty in its own unique way;
having a choice of either white or chocolate milk, all whole;
spaghetti;
frito pie (a pile of fritos with a ladle of chili on top);
corn nuggets;
mashed potatoes that weren't real mashed potatoes yet were tasty in their own unique way;
When I entered middle school, I drank Sunny Delight with my lunch. When I entered high school, I drank iced tea.

I brought my lunch so I wasn't eating any of the school's garbage. I brought my own garbage like Lunchables.

I got things like McDonald's, Pizza Hut, kfc, and Taco Bell as hot lunches at my elementary school ...they had fast food at least once a week if not more

It seems like we ate pizza, fries, salad with runny dressing and cookies everyday

We had women between 40-60 cooking large amounts, from scratch, every day. Every way known to use ground beef and dark meat chicken was implemented. It was good.
They made fresh yeast rolls and all salads were drenched in Italian dressing. There was always an entrée, a starch, a veggie, and a desert. The pizza all had orange cheese.
I did not know until I read this thread that they no longer had metal silverware.
My daughter brought home a picture of something that looked like corn and shrimp soup, with no shrimp in it. It was on a tray and had the consistency of watery soup. It is their lasagna. I guess we had it pretty good.

No cafeteria at my school so lunch usually was spam sandwiches and Funions in

Elementary school - cartons of chocolate milk were 2 cents Since they were government subsidized. I drank a lot of that.
College dorm - mystery meat was just inedible. One day a friend of mine just had had enough. He walked through the cafeteria and got the mystery meat from everyone not eating it which was most people. It filled one of those plastic trays that you put your lunch on. Big wobbling stack of pseudo-meat. Then he went back to the office of the woman who ran the cafeteria and set it on her desk. He told her she could have it since nobody else wanted it. She was speechless. And I don't think it changed anything.
Animal House came out when I was in college and we had several spontaneous food fights that were fairly amazing. I felt bad for whoever had to clean it up but anarchy reigned as food rained (not bad eh?).

Elementary school I think we had rice almost every day. I hated tuna salad day.

Square pizza with little cube pepperoni pieces. BOMB.

Same here, year and all. I would also hit up the breakfast in the morning since it was free. We live in TX now and my oldest just graduated from HS, she complained about school lunch. Just had another start kindergarten this year and haven't scoped out how lunches are yet.

Don't remember anything but those delicious yeast rolls. Lunch was .35. Yeah and get off my lawn.

Had the tray with the separate areas on it. Metal forks and knives. Small milk cartons. You could pick chocolate for 10 cents more I think. I never liked chocolate milk.
I always loved tuna salad day and I especially enjoyed the days we would get the peanut butter and cornflake squares for dessert. I'm sure they were phased out years and years ago because of peanut allergies. I never heard of anyone with those allergies back then, though.

Red beans and rice every damn Monday. I hated Mondays.
Posted on 10/18/16 at 7:28 am to SOLA
I moved from the midwest to Louisiana in the 6th grade and remember all the rice which I really didn't like that much of. To me the red beans and rice were barely edible, and I hated what I called "burnt gravy over rice". I like both now but it's an acquired taste for a midwesterner.
It was a big culture shock - calling the teachers ma'am and sir was just not done in the midwest. I was quickly on the teacher's shite lists because I didn't do it at first. There was a much larger cultural difference in the early 70's than now. And we left the next year because my dad wasn't going to keep us in the public schools, but private schools were going to eat up his salary.
