We start off with the Thanksgiving classic: turkey. It was edible, according to Ms. Coleman, but barely. She says, "the turkey...it's hard, yet rubbery and it tastes saltier than the OCEAN." EWWWW! P.S. I might let you know that the turkey was a slice of deli turkey with some watery brown stuff slathered on it. (Gravy? More like doggy no-no) Google images cannot describe how gross it looked and tasted.
To add to the turkey, ya gotta have cranberry sauce!! But I'm afraid the cafeteria's cranberry sauce was more like cranberry jello. It was almost solid but a little jiggly, it was kind of magenta, and there was not a drop of excess liquid so it was NOT a sauce.
Next we come to by far the most unappetizing part of the meal: the "yam." Let me tell you one thing: IT WASN'T A STINKIN YAM!!! Well it stunk but it wasn't a sweet potato. It was jiggly and wet for the outside layer, then Brave Ms. Coleman cut it in half with her "spork" (spoon+fork combined; picture at end) and there were solid parts. SOLID, people!!! Also, the solid parts were not only an unnatural dark yellow, but they also sprouted little white thorny hairs! GROSS.
And finally, in this horrible lunch we came to an epiphany: we discovered some school food that was not just edible (that's already pretty shocking) but delicious!!!!!!!!!!! Hallelujah!!!! What was it? 'Tis the cornbread!!!!! It was spongy but who cares?!! It tasted like a sweet corn muffin, but better in some cases! A miracle had happened. We broke out in song (well not exactly) and devoured the rest of the tiny warm loaf.
And that is the cafeteria people's idea of a Thanksgiving feast. I don't give thanks for that!
