School is starting. What was your least liked lunch served at school? Mine was the "pizza" on a muffin.

1. I'll go with Salisbury Steak. I now have a lifelong dislike of it because of childhood trauma stemming

from perpetual disappointment at school lunches.

[debm55]

3. I understand. Served with "mashed potatoes and lumpy brown gravey. Thank You Intractable.

2. Mystery meat.

Chunks of some unidentified meat, allegedly beef but could have been road kill for all we knew, in slimy gravy with little globs of fat in it, served over reconstituted mashed potatoes.

5. Thank you Ocelot II, Been there, done that.

4. Funny smelling milk.

Bought to go with my brown bag lunch. Boring! Peanut butter and strawberry jam, bologna and 'merican cheese, or tuna. Plus an apple, orange or banana. Repeat.

6. Thank you quaint. My brown bag lunches were the same.

7. Welsh rarebit.

Wherever the hell that was.

[debm55]

8. HAHAHAHAHAHA. I liked that when made at home. It was melted cheese with spices served on top of toast. Sometimes with

bacon and a slice of tomato on top. Never had a school. The school's was chipped beef with a white sauce served on toast. Yuk.

9. I'm the weirdo that liked hot lunch.

Many kids hated “Spanish rice” which was a lump of stuff. I even like that.

But I think Salisbury “steak” ( as stated above) was the very least popular and my least liked.

[debm55]

10. Thank you, LakeArenal. Oh I remember the Spanish Rice. I had to be in the mood for it. Salisbury whatever was a no, no.

11. I didn't like any of the school lunches.

And I didn’t like spending most of my lunch waiting in line. So I always brought my lunch.

[debm55]

12. Thank you arkielib. That makes perfect sense.

13. None

Went to a Catholic grade school with no cafeteria. All brown bag, (lunchboxes when I was littler) except for "hot dog day" which was 2 or 3 times each year.
In HS, I went to a private school yhat had a really good cafeteria. All the food there was pretty good.
In undergrad, same thing. Really good cafeteria. My wife went to a different college at the time, but the same company ran their food service, too. She said the food there was really good, as well.
In the HS cafeteria, they made fresh homemade donuts every morning, but you had to be at least a junior to go in there before schools. We couldn't wait until we could go in there for those donuts!

14. Thank you ProfessorGAC you and your wife hit the jack pot. Middle School and High school for me had terrible lunches.

Started to brown bag it.

15. Salisbury Steak.

It didn't take long for us kids to figure out that it was leftover hamburgers from the previous day's lunch covered in gravy.

I actually liked the school's pizza (so did most of our class), which looked like a potholder, but tasted quite good.

[debm55]

16. Thank you, surrealAmerican. Our pizza was served on an English muffin with American cheese and some sauce. it was

terrible.

[crosinski]

17. Some Italian sounding dish that was just awful.

It was fatty hamburger over rice swimming in pinkish colored ‘sauce.’ It was so bad I started bringing my lunch from home on those days it was served. This embarrassed my friends to death, but I didn’t care. At least I didn’t have to eat that stuff!

[debm55]

18. Was it that Spanish Rice?

[crosinski]

19. Now that I think about it,

It probably was Spanish Rice. My god, it was awful!

[yellowdogintexas]

20. fish. The nastiest, greasiest fried fish imaginable. It was disgusting

and it smelled awful
