My Gym class was during the first lunch period, so I'd stop and get me a soft pretzel and a chocolate milk.
Gym was an hour, then I'd stay another hour and either run or lift.
Then I'd go to lunch. My favorites were either turkey tetrazzini or the open face turkey samich w/ mashed potatoes and gravy. The pizza was pretty good also. I'd always get a full lunch and something extra and usually dessert and always 4-6 cartons of chocolate milk.
On days that they had 2 of my favorites, I'd get 2 full lunches. (I usually had 2 trays of food anyway)
The lunch ladies knew what I liked, so on things like desserts or chocolate milk, they'd hold things in back for me, when they were getting low.
During this school lunch garbage, I've wondered what lunches that I enjoyed, would I no longer be able to get. I do know the chocolate cream pie or banana cream pie for dessert, would be off the menu.
(By the way, for all that eating, I was 5'-11", 185# with a body fat percentage of between 8-10%. I was eating everything in sight [at school and home] and couldn't gain anymore weight)
(that's all caught up to me now)

A day or two ago there was a thread here about a school system that was enraged over the new rules.
One of their most popular lunches,grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup,was no longer allowed.
I could not believe it. When I was raising kids that was considered a superior lunch.
Madness.

Love your post - made me hungry, really hungry for a school lunch. Yes, the boys (I’m assuming you’re a boy!) ate like absolute animals and were thin as whippets. I was forced to take a brown bag lunch with a tiny sandwich. Always famished but no money for a school lunch!
I’m now wondering if we had a small store in high school that opened to sell candy. I can’t remember. I wasn’t allowed to eat it so had no money to buy it
