***We grew up on bologna.***
Same here. When we lived close to the schools we came home for lunch and had baloney sandwiches and a cold glass of milk. LOVED IT!
When the school was too far away we ate at the cafeteria.
All GREAT MEALS except in AZTEC, NM 1956! Worst school meals ever! I finally had mom pack me a lunch and while I was eating baloney sandwiches the other kids were gagging down and puking up their school supplied slop. It really, REALLY was that bad.
We had great meals in the rural schools I went to. Lunch ladies could put out some grub with all the commodities they got from the government. Lots of peanut butter stuff and real mac & cheese. Yum!
