We didn't have a cafeteria in elementary school (and who the heck eats lunch on a regular basis in highschool?), but occasionally we'd get hot meal days, about once a month. It was usually either tacos (from taco time) or pizza (from panago) or hot dogs or pizza pops. On a rare occasion we'd get Wendy's. The soggy, sat-there-for-an-hour taste and smell of chicken strips still sticks with me.
I remember being chosen to go get our cl ass's crate of hot lunch a few times. The room it was all coming from smelled heavenly, and I can still remember very clearly sitting impatiently in my desk waiting for the teacher to say my name and something like "Two hotdogs, one barbecue chips, one chocolate milk". From the day we brought home the order forms and stuffed them in an envelope with coins in it, it was like hell waiting for the day to come.
I just nostalgia'd so hard, wow. As for everyday lunches, I didn't really eat them. I just had the snacks and juice and rarely ate my sandwich because I hated them. I liked crackers and cheese and salami, though, and lunchables, but lunchables were a very rare treat.
