Top School Lunches

The best school lunch is by far taco day. This day only comes around twice a month on every other Thursday. I know I’m not the only one who looks forward to it since when it’s Taco Thursday, lunch ladies tell us to make sure we know exactly what we want. Most of us know our order, the same thing every other week. We have the choice of choosing from hard or soft shell, taco salad, or taco in a bag. Usually given on the side is rice, corn, chips and a churro. When you order a hard shell, you are provided with TWO hard shells to make up for the small size of the shell. A soft shell is just a giant shell. Taco salad is just a bunch of crunched up chips with all the regular toppings. Taco in a bag (which I’m yet to try) is a small bag of Dorittos with meat added into it. Most students don’t even bother to change up their order. I happen to be one of those students, every other Thursday, my lunch order stays the same; a soft shell taco with meat, cheese, lettuce and sour cream. A close second for me though would be chicken patties. I’m not quite sure why, but I’ve always loved them. They are usually served on Fridays, especially Fridays during lent along with fish patties. My third favorite lunch is definitely simple and served every day. I really enjoy salad and it’s nice to know we are given a wide range of toppings for salads. We are offered everything from tomatoes, cucumber, croutons, bacon bits, shredded cheese and occasionally chicken and ham. Also, we have a variety of salad dressings to choose from. We are given the basics, such as Italian and ranch, but are also given different types, like my favorite, chipotle ranch.
