School Lunch: I always had

When I was little I brought my lunch to school. Always homemade in a brown paper lunch bag.
I always had a sandwich, usually corn beef or pastrami never peanut butter or tuna fish or anything like that. Always something from a deli. Corn beef on rye with mustard Or lean pastrami on rye. And they were big sandwiches piled high with meat.
I always had a fruit. An orange, an apple sometimes grapes or cherries.
I always had a cakey comestible. Sometimes store bought like hostess or cookies but usually homemade like cake or brownies or cookies
I always had a drink and this is where I was so cool No juice boxes (did they have juice boxes back then) but always a can of soda Cream or Black Cherry but never Coke or Pepsi
As I hit Junior High and High School I started to buy lunch because no cool kid had mommy make her lunch.
I look back and realize I was never the cool kid and I wish I had taken my mom’s lunches longer
Also how the hell did she have time to make a homemade lunch for 3 kids every day

You forgot the starchy goodness – potato chip, pretzel, popcorn or the likes ( and always from a big bag, never a single serving bag).
I kept this up til HS (though by then I was making it myself). I didn’t care about cool, I just wanted to eat good food.

Funny the things we look back upon and realise what we miss. I was like you, always had a lunch and often still do (but these days I prepare it myself

Always from the Jewish deli- never turkey breast or ham or any of that stuff. I am now hankering for corned beef on rye. NOM NOM

You were one of those kids! I would have never eaten pastrami or corned beef, but I would have loved a deli sandwich.
