A fabulous article about being the "kid with the stinky lunch".

http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2011/11/15/...ch/?hpt=hp_bn8

I remember being laughed at for some of my brown bag lunches. I
wasn't the foreign kid or the
brown kid or the black kid in the class either.

Did any of you take things to school for lunch that got you picked on
or laughed at?

I loved this article, especiall the part about the smart teacher who
used a kids misery to teach
the class about other culture's foods.

Sometimes I used to take sardines and crackers for my lunch in
elementary school. I'd tease the other kinds by holding the little
fishes up by their tails and...MUNCH! :-)

up by their tails and....MUNCH!!

Sometimes I used to take cans of sardines in mustard sauce on days
where I didn't like the school lunch.
My mother was concerned that doing so would make the other kids not
like me. I told her I
didn't care about that, and I wasn't disliked, though I think that
some kids didn't want to sit as
close to me at lunch. My favorite thing about school lunches was the
Federally subsidized milk.
There were days where I bought 3 or 4 half pints of whole milk with
lunch, and I always got at least 2.

The one food that I miss the most since going back to low carb is
milk.

I just posted about sardines too. You went to a different grade
school, or we could have been sardine buddies, though you were a grade
ahead of me. I quit eating them on saltines any years ago, but that
was how I ate them back then.

My mother loved making chicken teriyaki. And it was good. I liked it a
lot, too. So she would send me to school with leftover chicken legs and
wings for lunch. The other kids acted like I was eating rotting dead rat
road kill. We ate our lunches in the classroom then we went out to play for
30 minutes. All the other kids had tuna salad, chicken salad, PB&J and here
I was a freak for having teriyaki chicken. So I got bullied because of my
lunch.

I am of the belief that abusive kids should be grabbed by the neck and told
to behave or suffer sadistic torture. OK, maybe not so bad. But bullying
is out of fricking control and these modern day monsters need to be dealt
with. 10 year old kids committing suicide to escape bullying? My lord how
sick is our society?

Some of my friends were envious of my school lunches. I had sandwiches
made withe home made bread and always had home made cookies or cake.

I was rarely allowed to bring lunch. But in elemenatry school I wanted a
fancy lunch when I was allowed to bring it which was maybe once a month.
Thankfully by the time I reached Jr. High my mom had the misfortune of
eating one of those school lunches. She never made me buy again. Heh!
Anyway... I remember bringing a hard boiled egg and a salt shaker in my
lunch. Not sure now what else I put in there. But my salt shaker commanded
a lot of attention.

Yeah, you used to get the mustard. I liked mine in oil. More pure
sardine flavor.

My mother wanted us to have a balanced lunch, so we always had some
kind of fruit. She found a pack of little boxes of SunMaid raisins at
the grocery, and decided they would be good for us to take to lunch.

I opened the box at the lunch time table and dumped them out on my
napkin. One of my buddies quickly asked "Did your rabbit die?"

Our school lunches were very good... I suppose ones perspectve
depended on how picky an eater one was. But one had to keep in mind
that it was only a school lunch, not a 5 star resto meal. A typical
lunch was sliced pot roast, mashed potatoes, a side of broccoli...
there was milk, fresh fruit, and cookies or a slice of pound cake,
maybe even jello. I remember my favorite were the soups... to this
day I slice a tube steak into my tomato soup. I'd sometimes bring my
own lunch in my Hopalong Cassidy lunch box... was typically left overs
from dinner... I really liked school lunch better. I was a good eater
so the lunch ladies liked me and took good care of me.

Ha! I had a smelly egg-salad sandwich in my lunch on the bus, and the bus
driver yelled loudly so everyone could hear, that someone's mother should
refrigerate the eggs overnight before making the salad. This was 6th or 7th
grade, and who needs further embarrassment in middle school!
I always attracted attention bringing in leftover Slovak food after Easter,
but everyone wanted to try the kolbasi, horseradish, and bread!

Other "normal" lunch items can be smelly. At work I hated when people
would eat a banana at their desk, then toss it in a wastebasket. The
stench of the peel would cover a wide area. For some reason, the
residue of a McDonald's lunch always smelled like ass, too. I would
have to relocate both of these if I wanted to stay at my desk.

I always found school lunches stinky. Must be something with sitting
in a bag or lunch box for several hours. I never had the problem when
I worked construction but I used a cooler and blue ice packs.

Bananas, tuna and eggs salads etc are going to have a smell no matter
how fresh or cold they are. A couple weeks ago Louise got me a tuna
salad sandwich at the Tampa airport to eat on the plane. When I
opened the bag and saw what she got I was shocked she did that but I
was starving so I opened and ate it but as soon as I was done I put
the wrapper in the bag and tied it shut and got the attendant to take
it away.

I worked in a building that had a guy who ate tuna almost every day.
He had a private office and didn't want it smelling after he ate so he
put the can in the men's room garbage. That didn't last very long
once we figured out who was doing it.
