A favorite childhood meal glop!

It was recently brought to my attention that onion rings are actually vegetable donuts, and lasagna is spaghetti flavored cake….

Glop it is.

It’s nutritionally balanced  glop.

USDA school food program certified slop.

Y’know, the fact that these jokes still remain topical in the strip’s 36 year run is kinda sad when you think about it. Especially when any attempts to push for better meals in schools and just let the kids eat them without having to pay out of pocket gets met with abject vitriol, usually from people who otherwise cry “think of the children!”

Glop: When Gloop is too expensive.

No, wait! The package says it’s reconstituted gloop.

Glop was yesterday today it’s glüp. Tell them it’s German.

Today’s classic FoxTrot Sunday strip:

The usual: mystery meat.

Tomorrow: swill. Oh, wrong comic?

Let’s hear it for the brown-bag.

we hadnt had a lunch lady comic for a long time! Nice to see its return

Wow! Is the school budget so bad they can no longer afford actual food?!

And this is why I brown-bagged it all through high school.

“Glop” was actually one of thr good tasting mystery lunches

It’s probably identical to the miracle health supplements sold on the Internet for much, much more. Click START below to watch the three hour testimony.

I guess I never realized how good we had it at our schools. Our meals were as good as homemade. (according to some students… better than homemade)

Today we’re leaving out the shingle. Someone decided the kids are getting too much starch.

My bet is that “glop” is way tastier and nutritious than anything at Bucca di Buffalo

Glop it is.

My mom used to make a great salad/desert using lime jello, cool whip, chopped pecans, etc. Us kids named it Green Glop. My wife copied it and so our kids called it Green Glop. Now the daughter-in-law makes it and the grandkids call it Green Glop. It’s a family tradition.

Never talk to lunch ladies.

Generic Layered Overcooked Parts…

Is Spaghetti and Wings really a thing? I feel like I’ve been deprived!

“The can just says ‘glop’” is a great punch line. I don’t often audibly laugh at comics, but I did here.

The school must have shopped at the store from Repo Man (IYKYK)…

And “Buca di Buffalo” for family style spaghetti and wings—LOL

Are you sure it doesn’t say “Nutritious* Glop to Support Wellness* in Teenagers”?

Spoo – the Other blue meat!

High school cafeterias should be considered cruel and unusual punishment.

I think I saw that stuff on top of a piece of toast. S.O.S. ’Nuff said.

Never took a risk eating cafeteria food when I was in high school. Just ate/slurped down a chocolate milk shake. Ahhh! ;-p

Spook had a better tasting swill.

It could be great flavored glop! (Probably not though…)

Spaghetti and wings? Odd combination.

Meanwhile in France, each public school has a real trained chef preparing nutritious and delicious multi-course cuisine (no Tater Tots or soy enhanced mystery meat in sight) with plenty of water instead of sugary artificial drinks and hormone laced milk. When I watched one of the videos about this I about went into shock as they sat down to meals that would cost you and me and you $50-$100 at a nice restaurant. All of which is subsidized by the state.

don’t ask a question you don’t really want the true answer to

Glop. I used to make that for dinner as a bachelor.

Plop the glop down on ‘em.

My high school had vending machines. One had cans of Campbells soup.

Glop is better than splortch.

It’s Sloppy Joe, sloppy Sloppy Joe

Just EAT IT!

Sounds about right concerning school lunches…
