Ooh, turkey dinner. That was always the best.
My schools always served really good enchiladas. I wish I had the recipe.

I always think of the taco salad, which in my district was a handful of Fritos, an ice cream scooper full of Manwich-type meat, and some shredded cheese and lettuce. I didn't particularly like it, but it's one of my strongest hot lunch memories. We had that too, only it was called a "walking taco." It was a snack-size bag of Fritos, which the lunch ladies opened up to dump the meat and cheese right inside, no lettuce. We thought it was the coolest.

Uhhh, that sounds gross and good at the same time. Now I want a walking taco! Never had it.

I feel really ghetto because I really want to try Frito pie/Walking taco/etc.

My lunch looked nothing like that casserole picture. Mine was supposed to be a taco with lettuce, unmelted cheese, optional tomato chunks, etc.

Whenever I hear anyone talk about Frito pie, I think of King of the Hill! It was part of the Hills' regular dinner rotation.

I never thought they threw it away; I always thought they listened to Kristy's comments and ate it anyway.

^ I agree. They were growing teenagers...they needed to eat. Plus, I'm willing to bet that they got used to Kristy after awhile.

^ I don't but listening to those comments might've made eating that food more fun?

I rode the school bus with a girl who would flip her eyelids inside out because she knew I was grossed out by it. Kristy and the food reminds me of that girl. She probably liked to hear Mary Anne squeal in disgust, but then everyone went about their business.

Similar to what Mona (murderedmymuse) said in the beginning of the thread, we had (have) two lunch breaks. Little lunch, at like 1030ish, which was probably about 25-30 minutes, where kids would eat most of their lunch, and big lunch at about 1, for about 45 minutes. We didn't have a school caefteria, just a tuck shop which sold things like sausage rolls and meat pies, and sweets and ice creams. Most kids bought sandwiches (too hot for anything that could melt - and no meat, just spreads) and snacks, and every now and then you'd buy stuff from the tuck shop.
Soo very different to what I read in the BSC books! Hot lunches always fascinated me, even though they didn't sound appetising.

^ I had no idea that some schools don't do full cafeteria lunches! I've officially learned something new today.

No matter what it looks like on your plate, it's going to look a lot worse going down into your stomach So does it really matter in the end? As long as it's not moldy or spoiled or anything.
