What was your favorite lunch did your school serve and did you enjoy it? What was typically your lunch if you brought lunch from home? Did you leave school to get lunch and if so did you go home to eat lunch or went to somewhere close by? And what did you typically do during lunch?

While in school I normally bought lunch from home, except on Taco Tuesday 🌮🌮😍🤤. On some days I would bring a turkey and swiss sandwich with lettuce and mustard, Salsa Sunchips, string cheese, and fruit. Other days it would be a salad, fruit, Salsa Sunchips, and string cheese. Normally I would buy a drink for like a $1.50 from my 11th history teacher who was also the football coach cause the money went towards helping the football team

During my senior year, seniors had the opportunity to go off campus for lunch. For me I typically would drive to Subway and purchase either a 6inch turkey with pepper jack cheese (with lettuce, spincah, tomatoes, pickles, banana peppers, black olives) or buffalo chicken with pepper jack cheese (added the same thing I did for the turkey except for pickles, banana peppers, black olives. Instead I added buffalo sauce and ranch).

During lunch me and a few girls would go to our government teacher's classroom during our lunch period in our senior year. In there we would typically work on some homework, eat our lunch, while he (the government teacher) would put on the British sitcom The It Crowd. However, if the weather was really nice we would go outside next to the art building and eat while talking to each other, while working on some homework.

Between the two, which one would you rather have?

Personally I'd rather have a Baby Ruth.

Elvers are baby eels that have just returned to the rivers from the sea. They were once a common dish in parts of the UK particularly along the river Severn. The normal way to eat them in the UK was to fry them alive in an omelette. Eels here, once abundant are now endangered and protected but some elver poaching still occurs. As I understand it only a few American states have an elver fishery.

So it's a food that's dying out and most of us will never have the opportunity to try them.
