A food place was going to open in a local plaza. The owners spent 3 months decorating it, badly. Looked like a 3rd grade project. But they finally opened. You went in and could chose among prepared meals in coolers along the wall. When I saw the fuzzy green eggplant parmesan, I just left. It was gone in about 3 weeks.
When I was in elementary, my mom was a cafeteria worker. The food in her kitchen was very good! Until the day they served “porcupine meatballs”. It was beef and rice with red sauce. Mom said they never threw away so much food as they did that day!
Way back when in my college days, there was a two-week period when the dining hall served nothing but ground beef in one form or another. At the end of the second week, we were ready to riot. All was saved when we were served the favorite meal of everyone, chicken tenders.
When I was in elementary school, when we’d have spaghetti one day and something with mixed vegetables a day or two later, we knew on Friday we’d be having soup with hamburger, spaghetti noodles, corn, peas, carrots, and beans in a thin tomato broth.
My high school cafeteria in the early 70’s served pretty decent food, but we did experience one “food continuum” like this -government subsidy pears for dessert. The Bartlett pears started off green and rock-hard, and after a weeks of pears on an almost daily basis, the pears we were served were eventually brownish and mushy.
My elementary school didn’t start providing lunch until I was in the 4th grade. One year, I did volunteer work in the kitchen and was actually quite surprised at the quality of the food, considering it was public school…

No regrets, now, for Andy’s “Eggplant’n Tofu casserole” lunch-box you “forgot” on the counter this morning?

If only the sauce had as many preservatives as the meatballs!

Are you joking, Paige? Do you have any idea how expensive a refrigerator is?!
