That burnt stuff is lemon grass chicken, the stuff on the right is Korean kim chee. It's a spicy plate so probably not something you'd care for.

OTOH, I ate some won ton min for breakfast at a restaurant. This is a saimin with won tons in it. My daughter had some Korean fried chicken. I had a piece. I think you would have enjoyed it.

Ah, fond memories of my Man from Uncle lunch box. The thermos
never lasted long because I've always been hard on my belongings.

For me it was a variety of waxed paper, aluminum foil, Baggies, Saran
wrap, and I think even some pre-made waxed paper bags for a while.

LOL I would think it would be waxed paper, definitely not "baggies".
Don't know about newspaper. String would definitely be valuable thing
and reused. Ditto paper bags for taking the wrapped sandwiches to
school for lunch. "Back in the day" in my world means Depression era and
my parents.

"Back in the day" for me is _my_ day, not my parents' day. 1960s and 1970s,
not 1930s and 1940s.

Kitchen string wasn't involved in the packing of a sandwich for lunch
when I grew up. A PB Sandwich wrapped in waxed paper and a paper bag,
yep. Kitchen string as I recall it had to do with maybe tying up a
chicken before roasting it. Not something I was involved with.

Okey doke! Did you take sandwiches for lunch and if so what were they
wrapped in? I remember early baggies with PB sandwiches and a baggie
with potato chips. Packed in a paper lunch bag. Later, first grade
(1966) I got a metal lunch box (Scotch plaid) with a small thermos that
fit in the lunch box. Still got potato chips and a PB sandwich in
plastic baggies but also took a thermos full of cold milk to school.
Occasionally Mom would put a Hostess Cupcake in the lunch box.

Throughout elementary and high school, I sat down with nearly all my fellow
pupils in a ding hall to a 2 course lunch. Only children from the very
poorest families brought sandwiches and they were not scorned by fellow
pupils either.

I would say half of the kids in elementary school brought their lunch and
about half of the teachers would, too. I also got 4¢ each day for a carton
of milk.

Speaking of milk. I remember when the school's supplier of milk switched
to a flat top carton and a representative came to school to demonstrate to
each class how to open this new fangled thing.

This was not the brand we got in elementary school but here's a picture of
that flat top carton that is similar to what we had.

We received a free 1/3pint of milk every day. Of course, Maggie Thatcher
stopped that!

We're white men, Gary. We don't know what soul food is. Pretending we
do, is cultural appropriation. VERBOTEN!

Do you think it's true that they grind up live little roosters in
McDonalds factories, feathers and beaks and all, and then shape the
result into McNuggets?

Mostly went home for lunch but if we did take one. . .
Sandwich in waxed paper, milk in a thermos in the lunch box. This was
1950s. High school (early 60s) mostly bought lunch. It was cheap and
convenient. Our school had 3200 boys and four lunch periods One year I
had an early schedule and was out early so no lunch period.

Never saw one like that but would be space saving and stackable. We had
Homo milk too, but now I think it is lgbt milk.

I had one of those, too. And the pleated skirt as well.

Most kids went home for lunch in elementary school. I was a latchkey kid
so I stayed at school with a few other kids. We all brought lunch.

In junior high and high school we had a cafeteria, but we still could bring
lunch if we wanted.

Apparently, we were filthy rich. I was given a little black lunchpail with a
thermos in the top. Mom occasionally filled the thermos with Campbell's soup
and maybe a PBJ in the bottom. By sixth grade, I was in the hot-lunch
program. From my freshman to senior year in high school, hot-lunch was over,
and I honestly cant remember where or what I ate.

We had the same thing, in little glass bottles with a cardboard lid,
plus a straw. Sometimes in winter the milk had frozen in the bottle, and
we used to put them on top of the radiators so they would thaw out by
playtime.
Lunch was a sit-down two course meal for everyone, pupils and
teachers. Probably the worst cooking I've ever refused to eat.

Slow cooker pig feet are the best to gnaw on by far.

No problem with the cooking at the 2 schools I attended. There were only 2
dishes that I really didn't like, both at the junior school. One was "Mince
in batter" i.e., minced beef in place of sausages in Toad in the hole. The
other was a salad that contained beetroot cubes and for some reason was
swimming in water.
Many years later when I was supply teaching at a secondary-modern school, I
stayed for lunch one summer day. They served up that salad!!!!

"Thatcher Thatcher, milk SNATCHER...!!!"

Maggie was just trying to save y'all from avian - borne diseases resulting from rotten milk, graham...!!!

McGill University: Office for Science and Society -- Separating Sense from Nonsense

Joe Schwarcz PhD | 20 Mar 2017

"Thatcher, Thatcher, Milk Snatcher€�

"The British press dubbed the future Prime Minister €œThatcher, Thatcher, milk snatcher€� for sponsoring legislation to eliminate the free milk program for students over the age of seven. The program had its beginnings in 1940 when children and pregnant women were issued milk to prevent malnutrition that might be brought about by wartime shortages. Thirty years later with Britain mired in an economic crisis, Thatcher claimed that the free milk was too expensive and proceeded to steer through legislation limiting it to children under the age of seven...

Students were not enamored of the program since the milk was usually not refrigerated and curdled when the weather was warm...

There was another issue. In the UK at the time milk was delivered in glass bottles sealed with foil caps. Because the lustry caps invited attacks by birds, the milk on occasion was linked to outbreaks of bacterial poisoning caused by Campylobacter jejuni. The problem was that some birds, such as magpies and jackdaws are known to frequent rubbish and cow manure piles where such bacteria are prevalent...

The milkman was supposed to cover the bottles but sometimes forgot and the pecked milk was given to children. Bottles were put out and constant watch revealed magpie pecking and analysis then showed Campylobacter jejuni in the bottles. To cap it off, spores of Campylobacter were isolated from the beaks of culled birds, So Margaret Thatcher, who at the time was accused of undermining the health of children, may actually have prevented some bouts of serious bacterial infection. Some Thatcher opponents now claim that the aging politicians bent appearance is a result of calcium deficiency and is just deserved for her crimes against children. Insensitive nonsense..."

Never had that, but mince and batter are two of my favourite food
groups :-) so I might give it a trial. We liike South African bobotie,
so that's a place to start.

School lunhes at primary school included spam fritters, a non-
identifiable gristle stew ( I suspect canned whale left over from war
rationing), rehydrated mashed potatoes, canned peas. Pickled red cabbage
which nobody ever ate; we just poured on little mountains of salt to
watch it turn bright blue. Puddings were dreaded slime-twins tapioca and
sago and lumpy semolina. The milk content tasted chalky, must have been
reconstituted (though from what I hate to think). The dining room was
huge, dark and absolutely stank of a million ancient meals. Because I
refused to eat my dinner I had to sit beside a teacher whose miserable
job was to force me to eat at least one main course and one pudding
every week, Of course I delayedfate until last day of the week; Friday
was always stinking fish and canned peas and mash) and shovelled it
under the table while she wasn't looking. In adult hindsight I'm pretty
sure she was just turning a blind eye, or trying not to retch aat her
own plateful.

Chalk and cheesse from local primary schools lunch menu nowadays.

Once I got to High School, different city, school lunches were really
good.We had a large bright dining hall and sat 8 around each square ,
the food was all freshly cooked on the premises and each person could
help themselves from serving dishes. Much better food and more sociable.

Nothing like my experience. The village school was both elementary and
secondary. After the 11+ the brighter went to a grammar school some 8 miles
away.
The local butcher supplied the meat to the school and he was very fussy
about what he sold. Of course, the head cook was a local woman from the
village.

We sat at long tables of 16 with a teacher at the head. The food was
excellent.

In America, the schools serve lunches to get the kids ready for the real world dining experience - just in case they're incarcerated for an extensive stay in prison. That's very kind and forward thinking of them.

That's funny but I always liked the school lunches. Much better
that a PBJ sandwich in a paper bag.

They're pieces of tortured factory chicken with urine stains hidden
with bleach (in the US). The pieces are coated and deepfried.
Sometimes they make strange sounds when you bite into them. Other
times you bite into them and your teeth bounce back.

Who knew that prison food could be better than peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in a paper bag?

I actually think the roosters are gassed upon birth. I saw it on a
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall program. In another episode he visited a
chicken factory. He came out crying.
