<p>It’s funny that the first couple posts mentioned tuna. My public elementary school served this tuna thingy in a paper cup that made me ill.</p>
<p>My hot tuna mantra - Never Again</p>
<p>the meat in aspic reminded me of scientific cooking.

<p>^^^ He was on Jimmy Kimmel last night. Don’t know if I’d want to eat the burger they concocted.</p>
<p>So EK, did you survive the Seattle Public Schools cafeterias?</p>
<p>My elementary school actually had pretty good food- although she it was a brand new school & didn’t yet have a cafeteria, the food was served in steam tables in the hall & we had to go back to our classrooms to eat.</p>
<p>The spaghetti & french bread ( & a brownie!) was one of my favorites, although most days I had to bring my lunch. Tuna fish or peanut butter, both of which end up pretty squished. :(</p>
<p>I was just talking to H about my jr high cafeteria yesterday. ( another brand new school- my family had moved to a suburb before I started K that was experiencing a lot of growth).
I couldn’t remember actually eating in the cafeteria very often, but after lunch was served, the lunch ladies would open up a window to the hallway & sell milkshakes & french fries.
The perfect meal!</p>
<p>dudedad I grew up in Kirkland, although my youngest attended SPS. She rarely bought her lunch at school & of course when she went to high school, Ezell’s ( fried chicken) was across the street.</p>
<p>^^^ Oh, the Eastside. No shakes and fries in our SPS.</p>
