in my high school we had 4 stations and a decent amount of options, yet i would only get 5 things - ever! friday was pizza day and i would always dip my pizza in the mini salad and dressing it came with.
wed was chicken ranchero day - chicken patty topped with bacon, american cheese and the obligatory lettuce and tomato slice and you top it yourself with ranch dressing on a kaiser roll and it usually came with baked mac and cheese - the line on wed was always rediculously long!
the other days i had a bagel with cream cheese, fries and an arizona iced tea. or cheese nachos loaded with toppings (i don't eat beef) or a cheese sandwich on a kaiser as i have always been adverse to lunch meat.
i am very surprised i have normal cholesterol these days - i can't imagine what it was back then...although growing up in a vegetarian household my other meals must have cancelled out the cholesterol loaded fest during the school week.

In elementary school i loved the cold triple decker PB&J's... Also i loved the taste of the sloppy joes with melted kraft cheese but i didnt like the chunkiness of it so i would scrape it all out and eat what became a sloppy joe flavored cheese sandwich mmmmm.....i've tried to recreate it but to no avail.

In H.S. we had open campus so i always left for lunch. lucky me

Growing up in Singapore it was Szechuan Chicken, Beef Kway Teow, with fat rice noodles, beef and greens, and Mee Goreng, Malay style curry noodles. All made fresh while we sat there patiently waiting, watching the woks sizzle and Mr. Ho flip in bits of this and that. Mmmm.

This one is pretty simple. Number one is the rectangle pizza served on top of fries. I would take the cheese off the pizza, put it on the fries, eat the pizza dough, then mix the cheese and fries together and eat them. Very healthy.

Second was pita bread pizza. I would always get cold and wet in the middle, so it was much preferred to have a fresh one.

I wasn't too big on cafeteria food but I always loved when they would have the special "holiday" hot turkey meals right before vacations. An ice cream scoop of mashed potatoes, a slice of turkey with that brown canned gravy and the always random slice of white bread to soak it up. Old fashioned yum.

I thought the hot dogs were pretty bad. Walked around the stadium but could not find something that would appeal to me. The worst part was not the food. It was the offensive padding down "frisk" that a male guard did to my body at the entrance. I should have said to him, "Keep your hands off of me you stinking dirty ape!" How offensive to Met fans. They actually put there hands on you and feel you up to see if they find "something". I'll probably not return again! Not because I find the hot dogs not so good, but because they are offending Met fans by "feeling up" their bodies. Jerks!

Sadly, White Diamond in Linden appears to be closed. There is a paper "CLOSED" sign in the window, the listed phone number rings unanswered, and the restaurant was closed and locked when visited last week on two separate days for lunch and dinner. Very sad - I only had the chance to eat there once, but excellent burgers.

Chik-Fil-A's original chicken sandwich. Honey and hot sauce make it maybe the best thing ever

a beef crunchwrap from taco bell. So tasty and can eat it on the go.
