I seem to remember the bread pudding tasting like Play-Do and if the groundkeepers cut the grass on Thursday, we had spinach on Friday.
Coincidence, I think not.....

My recollection of school lunch ladies is mostly heavy women in white uniforms with their hair contained by those black hairnets and most of them looked to be about a half bubble off plumb.

The cinnamon rolls. Oh god, the cinnamon rolls. Every day you had to smell the fresh bread baking, but you knew the instant you got off the bus if it was cinnamon roll day instead of bread day.
Those old ladies in the cafeteria often had to do the best they could with what they had and it wasn't always a hit, but those cinnamon rolls were heavenly. All of the school clubs, the ball teams, etc., would sell the cinnamon rolls for fundraisers and the cafeteria would get a cut for providing the baked goods, so those ladies did NOT frick around when they made cinnamon rolls. They made sure they were good, always, so everyone would keep buying them at the fundraisers.

We never got fish sticks, but we did get these weird square breaded fish pucks with a square of cheese atop the fish. Fish-n-cheese is how the school lunch menu referred to them.
Every blue moon, we got a little paper cup of ice cream.

If you mean getting $5 from your parents, spending $1 on cookies, and pocketing the rest, then yeah. I remember that.

We got triangles of fried fish. Sometimes they'd give us a bun with them for a sandwich.
My elementary school had awesome fried pork chops. The smell on the playground when they were cooking them was heavenly.
I ate the same thing every day in high school. 2 squares of pizza, a cup of spicy french fries, a pack of chocolate zingers, and 2 chocolate milks. Holy sugar/carbs.

Every Friday at Drew Elementary was chicken spaghetti
And I always got the Nacho/potato bar in high school because you could load it up at the salad bar. Turn 500 calories into 1000 real quick.

So if we had spaghetti one day, it was guaranteed we'd have Italian Dunkers the next day.
Cheese baked on to stale hot dog buns and then a side of meat sauce from the day before. And they were awesome.

We got these too, but I actually don’t think I ever tried it. I didn’t like fish as a kid.
The square pizza always came with corn. Never any other veggie that day.
Anyone remember the McRib esq patty? They’d also make them into nuggets and call them riblets

I went to school in a small town in Evangeline Parish in the 70s. The food was pretty good.
I liked every thing that they served but two, one was a soybean burger with that nasty mayo mustard blend and other was a rock hard slice of white bread with cheese melted on top.

I do remember the “riblet”, boy was it gross.
Besides old school dinner rolls. I still make those so called no bake cookies. They’re an amalgamation of peanut butter, rolled oats, a little milk, and cocoa powder, briefly simmered then scooped. They harden a bit on the outside, but stay semi-soft on the inside. Sometimes, I make them with fresh ground almond butter and Valrhona cocoa powder, plus flaked almonds. Not really the same, but way better tasting.

I kind of liked the riblet.
Best memory though is our cafeteria gals made the most moistest rice dressing ever.

Yes! My mom thought I was such a weird kid because I liked the moist rice dressing at school.

Beef tips, rice & gravy, green beans, yeast roll or corn bread squares.

Ya heard?!
Believe it or not, there was this one guy who didn't like the rice dressing, and we all made damn sure to go sit by him to make a trade. He always wanted the cookies, and I was glad to make that trade.
