A lot of folks are quite critical of institutional food. I’ve been lucky because I really loved school lunches as I grew up.
I had two “favorite” lunches.
One was fish sticks, corn, mashed potatoes with white gravy and a roll. I have never seen them since. The ones I ate at school were neat rectangles, about half an inch or thicker, and about 4 inches long. They were lightly fried (of course they were fried) and absolutely delicious. I loved the gravy (I would have eaten shoe leather happily with that gravy on it) and the roll with butter. YUM!
The second one was bean chowder and a cinnamon roll. I remember living for Fridays when we might have this. I researched this and actually FOUND recipes for the Tulsa Public Schools bean chowder and cinnamon rolls! If I didn’t need to be eating low carb, I would jump on these. :0)
Did you eat school lunches when you were growing up? Did you have favorites?
