I think it was in the last bad food thread that we talked about tamago kake gohan. I decided to make it for breakfast this morning. It tastes totally fine, and the texture if also fine, but I found it a bit bland despite the richness of the egg yolks. I added a little soy sauce and rice vinegar at first, then a little sriracha because why not. I'd eat this again.
My favorite thing about this ad is that it doesn't really have a known origin on the Internet, so no one is entirely sure if it's real or some sort of joke/parody. The company that it references is real, but has gone through a lot of changes since then and there's no easily-found record of this product actually existing, much less this ad. It's a small mystery and I love it.

the soy is kind of expected.
You could also try getting a container of furikake if you have a japanese grocery nearby.
It's not cheap, but a little goes a long way and it can add a bunch of flavour.
I remember having a cashier silently gasp when she saw I was buying a couple cans of spam.
SPAM is delicious. It's pork shoulder and potato starch, I think. There are lower sodium versions now!
I once read an ingredient label for a can of Spam, it read something along the lines of "May contain beef and/or pork and/or chicken and/or mutton, etc." This was over fifteen years ago so it may have changed since then.

From Spam's website, the ingredients are: Pork with Ham, Salt, Water, Modified Potato Starch, Sugar, Sodium Nitrite.

you are probably misremembering. Spam has always just been pork.

You may be thinking of potted meat. That stuff is horrifying.

My favorite potted meat ingredient is "partially defatted pork fatty tissue."

I have never forgotten that image, or the horrors that it was referencing

There's a lite version as well (less fat, calories, and sodium to boot) and a whole bunch of flavored varieties. Teriyaki, bacon, chorizo, tocino, jalapeno, turkey, etc etc etc. Portuguese Sausage Spam is one of my favorites right now.
I really like the chorizo variety. Nothing on good chorizo, but still tasty.

basically spam is hella good and I wish my girlfriend liked it so that I could actually buy some (it's hard for me to use an entire can before it goes bad)

I started student teaching at a first grade and oh my god american school lunch makes me so sad.
Monday was hamburgers (just buns and a paddy), Tuesday was two limp flap jacks, a sausage paddy and syrup, today was pizza and tatter tots. I think the drink for all three days eas chocolate milk.
I don't think I've seen a single fruit or green vegetable.
Why would you do this to children?

Honestly, at this point it's mostly just to spite Jamie Oliver.

My school had a decent salad bar. And a veggie option. I could see those things maybe not existing anymore, though, what with budget cuts and whatnot.

As far as I can tell what is served is what they get, no choice in the matter.
Hearing a first grader complain "oh man not pizza again" today was nuts. You should never be feeding a first grader so much pizza that they are actually sick of pizza.

when I was a kid I hated pizza day at school because the pizza was made on English muffins with this nasty sauce and these pepperoni slices that always turned into little grease cups
man thinking back, I'm amazed I got enough nutrition at school because most of that food was borderline inedible and I don't know how they got away with it
this was in a private school, even!

In my school cafeteria, pizza day was the worst day. Soggy rectangles of bland cheese pizza, usually with corn hidden under the plastic cheese layer.

Pizza day was a thing to be celebrated in my day. Also chili day (giant fucking cinnamon rolls!) and ham patty day.
I know that I have talked about this before, but the greatest betrayal in my life was when my high school cafeteria switched from a spicy chicken sandwich with a Wendy's quality breast to cheaper than McDonald's chicken patties.
Other than that, I feel like my high school lunches were alright. They always had at least one fruit and one veggie, and two entree options. Drinks were fountain water, bottled water, orange juice, or milk (2%, chocolate, or strawberry). When I was in grade school I only had one entree option and the only drinks were milk or fountain water, but otherwise it was the same. High school had round pizzas that were a hair below Little Ceasar's quality, grade school was soggy squares.
when I was a kid I remember the best day being chicken-fried steak day
I wish I could find a restaurant that serves chicken-fried steak like I remember it
I don't think you'll find it's like at a restaurant, but I imagine you could probably find them at your local CostCo or Sams Club and just bake them yourself.
Of course, they're not going to be the same because it's hard to remember them without the years of nostalgia in place, but it might not be that far off.

Cause this thread is just shock images of gross stuff
this is a place for "bad" food
and a place for bad "food"
all are welcome
the schism in this, our church of terrible eats, would come later
but there's nothing in the dogma that outright prohibits one or the other

You could also try getting a container of furikake if you have a japanese grocery nearby.

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

I'm not a huge fan of furikake as I don't really like the taste of nori.

The school's been renovated, they're all retired, and the lunch's are pre made by some huge company.
I wept when I found out.
