The lunch's of the Alden Central School District


I believe the best school lunch is a salad. Let’s be honest, no one really knows what goes into the actual lunches so eating fresh seems to be the best idea. Also then you can load your salad with whatever you want to fill you up. I normally go pretty heaving on the croutons, a favorite of lunch time. The chipotle dressing also adds a very nice spicy touch. Combined with this I like to pick up a nice southern styled Arizona Tea from the school store, which is just around the corner. If I’m feeling lucky that day I may even through some chicken on the salad as well. It all depends how it looks. I have to say, the best days are when the hot and spicy chicken rice soup is out. Eating that soup, with the salad and crunchy croutons washed down with some iced cold arizona tea always makes for a good lunch. Now, to be honest with you, I haven’t packed a lunch in probably around four to five years. All I can really remember about those days were turkey sandwiches with hot sauce. I can’t really remember how I came up with that concoction but I really enjoyed it! Also the interesting thing about packing my lunch, way back when, was that everyone would always trade their items. In a way us twelve year olds had established our own nutritional stock market. Very strange. Kids would verbally fight it out to see who could get the best salty chips, or the very popular, “Sunny D.” If I remember correctly, one day a kid traded his entire lunch, just for a Sunny D. I remember laughing and then continuing on eating my turkey sandwich with hot sauce. All in all I’m happy that now I can just get myself a nice salad, where there normally is less of line.
