You must be an old head like me. Milk was two cents, and the food was GOOD! Where did you grow up? I grew up in South Jersey, and one of my favorites was pork roll. The ladies also made a slammin mac and cheese with creamed stewed tomatoes. We also had real grilled cheese sandwiches. The tuna fish sandwiches and tomato soup was the bomb. too. Spaghetti with meat sauce was made fresh, no Chef Boyardee shit out the can. Damn, I miss that food!

From the Mid-West. We had a choice between chocolate milk or regular. I was a weird kid--I didn't like chocolate milk. My favorite lunches I remember were the deep dish pan pizza, hamburger gravy over mashed potatoes, and fish and chips. I really liked the school lunch because my single father Dad couldn't cook. Except for pancakes and barbecue in the summer. Got tired of eating Dinty Moore Beef Stew out of a can. We also had Tang (the drink of astronauts lol) instead of orange juice, Velveeta instead of cheese, and powdered milk instead of real milk.

.

I don't remember any cafeteria ladies looking like this but a couple came darned close.

No, the cafeteria ladies at my school were white, and most of them were of Hungarian, Polish or Italian descent.

I think we saved money re-using lunchboxes, five days a week.

I had a Mickey Mouse one that I can't Google an image for,
and that is driving me a bit mad.

That was a favorite among my friends and I when it was on TV. Remember the self-titled album John Travolta put out in 1976 during his popularity as Barbarino?
