Pizza Fridays in Elementary School

[toys2cool]

I had NEVER heard of putting mayonnaise on a HAMBURGER till I moved to AZ. I was at a Sonic and ordered a hamburger and they asked me if I wanted that with or without mayo and I was like, "Who the hell puts mayo on a hamburger?!"
Gotta be a west coast thing? UGH!

I've always heard of mayo in a burger,it's what the Whopper brings

The worst thing we used to have once a month ...

A hotdog, slit down the middle suffed with cheddar cheese and wrapped with a slice of bacon.

It sounds good, but if you ever ate one you'd taste how disgusting it was.

Made me throw up on the bus on the way home.

I never ate it again

Oh i have that topped as far as worst goes. They would print out the lunch menu's on a bi weekly schedule and at least once it would say chefs surprise. oh man you want to talk about being scarred to go into the lunch room.

We had one that popped up fairly often called "Meat Casserole".
Possum, Kangaroo, Slow Neighbor, at least those would have been less frightening knowing what they were.

It would be "kind of" neat if someone had kept a vintage menu printout since we are on the topic and all. Anyone? Anyone?

I just checked to find out about school lunches and was surprised to find out that they are $1.85 here in Maryland. Keep in mind that it is Middle School lunch and the portions are smaller but my kids said they receive one main item (pizza, burger, etc.), a fruit or vegetable, and a milk. You can purchase other items seperately but that seems pretty low. My vague memory was that lunch was about $.85 or so when I was in Elementary/Middle School so it really isn't that much more comparatively speaking and I'm sure the quality can't be any worse.

Really? A school lunch here is up to $3, I believe.

Dude, in many places across the globe...people add mayo to french fries, not ketchup.

I put Miracle Whip on the bread (or bun) and ketchup on the burger.

Awesome dude! You always come through. Ask and I shall receive. Brings back memories.

I think my favorites on that list are either "Frankfurt in Roll" or "Fish on a Bun"

The sloppy Joes were good (as good could have been at that time) as far as I can remember (depending on what school you went to and of course the cook making it)

[Adam West]

That menu is hilarious. I think between the mention of Sloppy Joes and the menu above with grinders (which we call subs down in Maryland)...I am thinking of the classic SNL Lunch Lady skit with Chris Farley and Adam Sandler.

Gotta love the mimeograph print. That was basically our equivalent of the xerox machine. I can still remember the addictive scents of fresh mimeograph ink.

I just noticed on that list too: "Hamburg and Gravy" Is it a menu or a geography lesson
