Most or Least Favorite School Lunch?

[jcam222]

I was never a very picky eater (you learn to be like that when you grow up dirt poor and raised by a woman who turned 80 the year you were born...food was never to be "wasted"!), so most of the dishes were edible to me...except that abomination that was green jello with shredded cabbage embedded in it.

Dear God! I still, almost 60 years later, shudder when I think of that mess!

Ewwwww , yes I remember that stuff and dislike it

Ours was green jello with bits of pineapple and cottage cheese. Yeah, no.

My favorite was chicken and biscuits.

Least favorite was hot dog, because they were boiled.....

OMG, who would even think of creating such a thing? I mean, green jello...OK, I can handle that if I have to, and cabbage, sure, but what sick mind would suspend cabbage in jello?

Some people HAVE to have their hot dogs boiled. I haven't boiled a hot dog since maybe my early 20's when I knew nothing about cooking. At our family reunions (every freaking year), its a whole weekend, and usually Friday night is hot-dog night. Usually grilling around a hundred dogs (used to be more, many have died off and or stopped coming). Dad always insists on bringing sausages of some sort to grill just for him, and now us (The only hot dogs I care for are Sam's club quarter pounders, and even then I can live without them). A couple of other family members always bring crock pots with dogs simmering in the swill...for some reason. It's the way its supposed to be in their heads.

Nothing wrong with boiling a dog IF water was salted (which nobody that boils dogs does)

Never had jello with stuff in it but school jello here was sorta like tropical fruit flavor as I think they mixed different flavors to make it. Always a little different and was actually pretty good. Green jello, pineapple, and cottage cheese sounds good to me but thought of it made together and served a slab? Nope. FYI green apple jello and caramel vodka is an INSANELY good fall jello shot.

Hotdogs are already cooked and ready to eat. No reason to heat them much past simmering temperatures in water.
Boiling hotdogs tends to make them split and lose all the wiener-goodness inside.
