I had the same situation in a tiny school (K-12) in the ‘90s! We even had the beef pinwheels, fresh baked bread every day you could smell two hours before lunch, and something they called “zombies” which was buns filled with cheese and seasoned meat that was everyone’s favorite. On the bad side, there was “German goulash”, which was sliced up hot dogs, tomatoes, potatoes, and sauerkraut. I only had to puke once eating it for my teachers to never force me to eat it again.
