I have to say, the best school lunch I ever had was when my parents made some amazing lasagna and let me bring it for lunch the next day. I packed cookies, a juice box, and grapes with it. It was so good.

The worst was when we didn't have much food, so I made a bread-and-turkey-sandwich and some leftover cabbage and green beans from the previous night.

Fun question, thanks!!

My mother packed me a hot dog soaking in hot water in a thermos. She did that for a year because I "liked” them. I pointed out that I did the first few times but got very sick of them. She laughed and kept sending them. Am entire school year of warm soggy hot dog.

@AutumnGilt that must have got old!

We used to have to walk across a field to another school for hot lunches. I loved the corn chowder and apple crisp. The women who cooked the food all looked like my grandmother.

The worst meal I think was saltines crackers covered with cheese sauce.

School wasn't long enough for us to need lunch, everyone went home to eat - at least until we were about 14 or so. And then we all went into town in the break to grab some french fries or similar stuff, once or twice a week.

Kids had snacks packed by their parents, though. Most kids had slices of bread with cheese or cold cuts, or maybe a fruit, and a juice. I usually had a cereal bar and a super sweet packed juice, and sometimes an apple or a tangerine. I can't remember anyone else than myself putting them into my schoolbag.

The best food someone else packed for me to take with me was apple slices cut into the shape of hearts, for my frightening and stressful night shifts, when I was much older.

@Desmynn6789 i almost always had school lunches - some of my absolute favorites were uncrustables, orange chicken w/ rice & eggroll, spicy chicken sandwich or biscuits and gravy <3

sometimes we'd get mac & cheese or a grilled cheese sandwich, and i don't know how but the sandwich would always be stale, and the mac & cheese would have a plasticky, thick texture that i hated, lol

@stjarne it sounds like you had Chinese food for lunch sometimes. That is really wonderful by me.

Bologna sandwiches and mac and cheese fall in to my bottom of the scale lunches. Ugh.
