No thanks—I’ll take a grilled hot dog with mustard and relish——on a toasted roll.
No ketchup.

I got some McDonald's fries today and used at least the equivalent of 3 packets of ketchup from my fridge. I will only eat Heinz.
I miss some of the "bad" stuff we used to get at school and at my work cafeteria. They don't make much normal food like that any more probably because people wouldn't eat it. I was thinking about that earlier today, the cooks (all older white ladies) who had to do all that work and those huge stainless steel pans in hot water. They used to make some of the most delicious stuff. Sirloin tips in gravy on noodles. Mushy veggies lol. High quality meat cooked in large quantities. The stuffed green peppers with some kind of tomato beef gravy were to die for.
The school food was pretty good, too. All I remember are juicy steamed hamburger piled on buns with no condiments, didn't need any. Double mashed potatoes and gravy lol They had that every single day and another choice but some days I brought lunch from home.
Since the issue here is calorie count, it would be interesting to get a calorie count for the private school meals and the public school meals.
