Celebrate lunch ladies and cafeteria food for National School Lunch Week!
by Monika Bartyzel, Posted Oct 15th 2008 @ 10:03AM
Did you know that this week is National School Lunch Week? Oh yes, Serious Eats posts that The Healthy School Lunch Campaign has decided that this is the week to praise and give love to the world of school lunches.
To me, that means Adam Sandler's "Lunchlady Land," which you can see above. While the lunch ladies of my youth didn't quite look like Chris Farley, they DID have similar 'dos and uniforms.
This week is also meant to bring awareness to the food that gets consumed, but no matter how important healthy food is, I feel a wave at nostalgia for the lunches that made me love those terrible, moist squares of pizza, huge piles of PB&J, and gave me a neverending love of sweet peas smushed into mashed potatoes. Share your cafeteria (and lunch lady!) memories in the comments!

Our junior and senior highs were in one building, and I remember indulging in those slices every day for weeks, until in senior high I finally wizened up and brought my lunch. It's a wonder I don't weigh a million pounds!
