On the last day's menu:
Sack Lunch: Turkey and Cheese SW (Turkey was not offered . . . it may have been chopped ham??? I wasn't sure.)
Popcorn Chicken (not offered)
Chef Salad w/ Crackers
Baked Chips (not offered)
Carrot Sticks w/ Ranch
Chilled Peaches (not offered)
Variety of Fresh Fruit (apples and oranges)
BBQ flavored potato chips (served, not on menu)
A surprise for this day: The director of CNS came for lunch.
I was totally shocked. I asked why he was there and he told me that he didn't have any fires to put out at any other school, was in the neighborhood and thought he'd stop in for lunch. Since he didn't acknowledge my blog (I believe that's the real reason he stopped in. If you'll recall I posted the previous day wondering if he would come to lunch with me sometime . . . ) I went along with the pretending. I didn't like how this deception made me feel. Not at all.
I also thought it was a very safe day to show up for lunch. Just how bad can a sandwich be??? It's what is served EVERY FRIDAY.
As I noted above, it was unclear what the meat on the white bread sandwich was. It appeared to be chopped ham. I don't normally consume this type of cold cut, so I was unable to tell. The chips were served in a large container (see very top picture) and dished out on the Styrofoam trays. I wonder why they did this? To my knowledge they have always served chips in individual bags. Did they not want us to see the ingredient list? I don't know. One positive thing about serving this way is it creates less trash.
Not a very satisfying lunch. No lettuce to put on the sandwich. Cold cut, cheese "food", white bread. I guess "it's what the kids will eat" struck again. Carrots were fine. Orange was good.
I will post a summary of my month long adventure over the weekend. Thanks for continuing to read!
