Interesting. We used to have vegetables, mystery meat, mac&cheese, and
on Pizza day, there were "Chocolate covered wheat bars" made from
oatmeal. The pizza was edible (remember, we were kids), I forget what
the "vegetable" was on pizza day.

If anyone is nostalgic for those old school lunches, head for one of
those buffet places (not the asian ones). My husband says they are
owned by the same people who made the lunches at his old school!
