#1 Back in my day, we were allowed to bring in ~~road kill~~ game to eke out the hardtack and moon shine served in our public schools.

Yes, I'm from Tennessee, why do you ask?

#2 Eat Cold Cut + PBJ deli death, hippies - there goes the Food Pyramid. Naturally of course, MA's dentists will vote against it a'fore voting for it.

#3 Turnip greens and collards were a staple in South Alabama. I don't like either one. People would feed the turnips to the hogs and eat the greens. We always had fish sticks on Friday. Of course back then the lunches only cost a quarter.

#4 Cheese-burger turnovers and tater tots was the best school meal when I was a kid.

#5 I forget what it's called, but I was always fond of the dish with ground beef on the bottom, then a layer of corn topped with mashed potatos.

Needed those calories to walk through miles of snow drifts to school fighting off the packs of wolves.

#6 As my wife pointed out last night, if Barrios and his "husband" are so concerned about what their kid eats, tell them to get off their asses in the morning and make the kid's lunch.

#7 You don't see Barrios trying to limit rice milk or chicharones do you?

Mind your own business, we don't need you to tell us what to eat or feed our kids.

We got that too. Sounds like shepherds' pie. I've tried to make it as an adult, and find I can't get the same taste.

Our old standby was chili. Every Thursday, chili with a PB & honey sandwich. Dunk the sandwich in the chili -- mmmm.

#9 I am a devotee of the Flying Saucer, fried balogna, topped with mashed potatoes and a dab of American Cheese-like food.

Google Image seems to have supressed the String.

But seriously I expect for stuff like the above most of the stuff was okay - to pretty darn good. My elementary skools cinnamon rolls and vegetable soup were awesome.

#10 Fiestadas and corn were always my favorite. Of course, I'm probably a lil' younger than most here, and even I saw the dawning of options in our school, such as a salad bar and a "health food" line, but they always had the unhealthy stuff too. BTW, this was in a (at the time) mostly rural "suburb" of Atlanta.

#11 6, that's a Baloney Boat! We would get it with a triangle of cheese sticking up out of the smashed taters like a sail.

#12 Jeebus, DB, I'd forgotten about that variant.... I have a picture somewhere of those.

#13 Marshmallow fluff?

Marshmallow fluff, ferchrissakes?!

What, Taxachusetts has taken care of all the real problems, like murder, theft, rape, robbery, ~~Kennedy & Kerry,~~ and overtaxation? Marshmallow fluff is all they've got left to legislate about?

Wotta maroon.

#14 Marshmallow fluff is all they have the moral courage to deal with.
