What was your signature school lunch?

[Judge Smails]

<p>Snacks' gilled cheese thread, and my own Electronic Quarterback thread, got me thinking about grammar school lunch time.</p><p>Most kids seemed to have their own signature lunch.&nbsp; Mine was bolonga and american cheese on Wonder Bread with mustard. Some kids had the obligatory pb&amp;j.&nbsp; One kid always had a thermos full of Chef Boyardi or soup.</p><p>What was your mom's &quot;go to&quot; lunch that you seemed to get over and over?&nbsp; Was it your comfort food that you looked forward to, or did you dread opening your lunch bag for fear that you got the same thing again?</p>

[NortonRules]

A slice of salami with a smear of cream cheese and rolled up like a cigarette.&nbsp; Many of these, like 10 of them.&nbsp; It's very tasty.&nbsp;

[Fat_Sunny]

<font size="2">Fat's Elementary School Had A Very&nbsp;Inexpensive Hot Lunch Program.&nbsp; Every Friday They Would Serve Fishsticks With Tartar Sauce; Rye Bread; And Canned Cherries For Dessert.&nbsp; Fat Would Use The Rye Bread To Make A Fishstick Sandwich Oozing With Tartar Sauce.&nbsp; It Was So Delicious That Fat Still Thinks About It Many Years Later!</font>

[riverofpiss]

<p>My specialty was thermos hot dogs.&nbsp; I would make two dogs in the morning, put them in buns, and wrap them in tin foil.&nbsp; Then I stuffed them each into their own thermos.&nbsp; It kept them warm until lunchtime at which time I would add my condiments.&nbsp; They were the best.&nbsp; </p>

<p>you know what cool kids had for lunch?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>cigarettes</p><p>thank you ron.</p>

My mom would always make me roast beef and mayonnaise sandwiches, but I hated roast beef and mayonnaise, and told her on countless occassions.ÿ I would throw the sandwich out and let her know, but sure enough, the next day there it was again!ÿÿ<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>But I always had the following in my lunch:</div><div><br />1.

[BoondockSaint]

For a few years it was ham on white bread with mayo.&nbsp; Then I switched to jelly on white bread, no peanut butter.&nbsp; For some reason I hated peanut butter out of a jar as a kid but I loved Reese's.&nbsp; I was such an idiot.

[FUNKMAN]

<p>for grammar school</p><p>i remember running up to the corner deli for alot of spiced and chopped ham. we was po folk and couldn't get the good ham.</p><p>underwood deviled ham was a staple too, pb and j as well!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>then when we moved up in the world it was Collettas Italian restaurant across the street for grilled cheeses on fresh loaves of italian bread, cheesesteaks, mashed tatas with red gravy(the best) you had to lick the bowl for every bit</p><p>high school was whatever was on the lunch menu</p>

[Gvac]

<p>In high school I'd get the Roast beef sandwich and fries with gravy damn near every day.&nbsp; </p><p>That and Marlboros, of course. &nbsp;</p>

[Fallon]

I made my own combination of peanut butter sandwich with thick crinkle cut french fries mixed in.

[weekapaugjz]

in elementary school, i could always count on a pepperoni, swiss cheese, and mustard on white.&nbsp; a juice box, two oreos, and a small baggie of chips or crackers.&nbsp; it's still one of my favorite sammichs.&nbsp; then after about third grade i started to buy a lunch.&nbsp; $1.10 got you a full lunch of an the entree, veggie, soup, milk, and fruit.

[mdr55]

<p>When I was growing up we got to go home for lunch in grammer school so whatever grandma cooked, that was lunch. And play videogames or watch t.v. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Highschool- Usually was a pretzel w/musturd and a soda and I pocketed the rest of the money.

i didnt eat the sandwich my mom made me until like 4th grade.&nbsp; i have know idea why, what a weirdo i was.

[keithy_19]

I always got a lemon snapple, and a cookie. Sometimes I'd get a nutty bar too. Very nourishing.

[sexy bastard]

cheese and crackers

[Fezticle98]

<p>I always got a bruised apple, peanut butter sandwich (crushed by said apple) and a warm minute made oj box. It scarred me for life.</p><p>Taco day was the only respite from the awful brown bag routine. Then in 7th grade I just started eating ice cream.

[Lee-Ya]

My mother was the head lunch lady at my high school. But i still wouldn't eat the school lunch. I hated waiting on line. lol I'd always brought my own lunch. Bologna, america cheese with mayo on white bread.

Oh man the School's Deli lunch was the best.&nbsp; BLT with fries.&nbsp; Then that delicious mayo that you pump out of that big container, really gross yet so good.&nbsp; Plus for the fries a mixture of Mayo and Ketchup.

[WhistlePig]

Mom mixed it up and made me different sandwiches almost every day but
unfortunately they were gross meats like Liverwurst and Lebanon Bologna. I
hated them but felt sorry for them so I couldn't throw them away.

[Deadshot87]

roast beef sandwich <br />with a HI C

[Poochie]

I used to get ham&nbsp;on white&nbsp;and put doritos in them.

[PhishHead]

my mom worked in a deli, so i got a different hero sandwich everyday, it was quite good.&nbsp; Always had a breakfast sandwich as well.

[A.J.]

<p>In Catholic Junior High we had no cafeteria and had to bring our own lunches.&nbsp; So it was capicola, roast beef or ham sandwiches with chips and a Capri Sun or other juicebox.</p><p>For the school lunches I remember that it was always hot dogs/baked beans/tater tots on Thursdays and Pizza on Fridays.</p>

[riverofpiss]

In high school I would have vodka and kool-aid prepared that morning.

I used a slushee from 7-11 but Silent Sam vodka was my favourite in high school. A couple joints at lunch and then a big vodka slurpee for the afternoon to take care of the cottonmouth side effects.

[joethebartender]

No hot lunch at my grammar school...mom used to send me with a cream cheese and jelly sandwich and a few cookies. sometimes if there wasn't any bread at home we would get the same on a raw English muffin. Milk was available for purchase.

[Chris from TX]

80 cents for lunch

Nachos and fried bean burritos was the signature lunch.

[PapaBear]

I'm part of the earliest generation of two working parents. My signature school lunch was whatever the school was serving.

[Devo37]

1st - 3rd Grade: we had to stay at school for lunch. during that time, plenty of tuna fish sandwiches.

4th Grade: we were allowed to go home for lunch. lots of frozen pizza or steak-um's at home (with milk!!! damn you, mom!!!)

7th & 8th Grade: got a couple of bucks for lunch. usually sal's pizza. got enough money for 2 slices & a soda, but often just got one slice and played arcade games with the rest of the money.

[MHasegawa]

i mostly got lunch from school, from what i remember the pizza and cheeseburgers were gross but the spaghetti and meat sauce was amazing, did yall ever get snacks with your school lunch (those who didnt bring theirs from home)? CHS would give us cinnamon chirros, fantastic.

[eeroomnhoj]

<p>Snacks' gilled cheese thread, and my own Electronic Quarterback thread, got me thinking about grammar school lunch time.</p><p>Most kids seemed to have their own signature lunch.&nbsp; Mine was bolonga and american cheese on Wonder Bread with mustard.

Peanut butter and grape jelly on WOnder bread in an "Inch High Private Eye" Lunch Box.

[sailor]

grammar school - whatever the hot lunch was, it was included in tuition. that was a catholic school, so it's not universal to not have hot meals at them.

high school - blt or just bacon on a roll. counting breakfast and lunch i'd have those 6-8 times a week at school and just skip the remaining meals (except when they had stuffed shells or manicotti or some other fun treat).

[King Hippos Bandaid]

our parents hated us

we got a buck in grade school for lunch (French Bread Pizza was my fav)

2 bucks in intermediate school Generic School Lunch (Pizza Rolls were my Fav), plus cookies or a pretzel

in high school we made paperboy money, so we were eating lobster and caviar, actually chinses food and pizza, but still like kings

our parent NEVER and I mean EVER, made us lunch for school

[GwEnYpOo]

Nutella on white bread or Cream cheese and Jelly, 2 juice boxes, and some kind of fruit in elementary and middle school.

High school, pop tarts and french vanilla coffee, or a bagel with cream cheese and coffee.

My mom never gave me money to bring to school. We were poor =/

[Mullenax]

Grammar School= a disturbingly warm and smelly peanut butter sandwich on wheat, somehow my locker and ziploc bags just baked them and gave them a crazy smell! Juice "Hugs", which are the barrel shaped kool-aid things. Brown apple slices.
High School= .75 for a bag of doritos from the machine (to eat in Biology) and cigarettes.

[bigredd]

Rectangle pizza on Fridays. Um um good.

[SHANEFROMGA]

i second that one brother!!!!:clap:

[midwestjeff]

Cigarettes.

[Freakshow]

School lunch-- tacos with a tastecake

bag lunch--lebanon bolognia with a star crunch and a ssips juice box.

[goreds2]

I always LOVED the chilli with peanut butter sandwiches my school served for lunch. :thumbup:

[LastThenFirst]

They called them Whirly Birds:

A dry piece of Taylor Ham (aka Pork Roll) with a piece of yellow American paste (aka cheese) on a stale roll.

It came with a disclaimer: To Induce Vomiting, Eat This. :flush:

[jauble]

In elementary school was always a big fan of the taco haystacks which was just chips with hamburger, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes stcked on top of it.

[Jimsy's Girl]

I'd ask my mom for half a peanut butter sandwich and a diet pop. I was trying to watch my weight you know... Then I would procede to ask my dad for some change so I could purchase a slushy and a nutty buddy. Self defeating...yes!
