Haha! During Lent we'd also have to take breakfast to school to eat after Mass, so add milk to the list of foods left sitting in various lunch bags in the cloakroom. Remember those individual portion size cereal boxes that were coated with waxed paper? You just poured in the milk. Depending on how diligent one's mother was, a kid might also have hard-boiled eggs. Our elementary school didn't have a cafeteria.

The British chef Jamie Oliver did a couple of TV series about changing the menus in school lunch programs. They were interesting to watch, but also kind of depressing.
