Sam I Am: Not!

Today's meal made me re-think ever eating in the school cafeteria again.

OK, well, sure, there have been other occasions when I've thought about never eating there again, but today's meal grossed me out so much, I just don't know if I can eat this food anymore.


The meal started off well enough, with a harmless cucumber, carrot, squid salad. Again, though, what's with the tiny portion?

I did, however, pass on the "soup," which was really just a bowl full of miso paste. No thanks!

(I have no idea what's going on here, but the soups have been incredibly bad lately.)

The main dish wasn't that much of an improvement over the rest of the meal, but I was happy that I at least chose a bowl that had a huge chunk of egg, which I figured would taste good, as opposed to tons of little deep-fried tofu cubes, which most of the bowls had in them.

Little did I know what I had coming.

I took a bite of the egg, chewed it, and swallowed it. So far, so good.

Just then, however, my eye caught sight of the remaining bit of egg chunk.

What did I see?

I saw green egg.

Yes, green egg.

As in G-R-E-E-N green.

Now, I'm no master chef, but as far as I know, eggs are supposed to be yellow, not green.

I mean, seriously! What the heck is going on here? Is this some kind of joke?

Does the Lunch Lady think she's Dr. Seuss?

How fitting would that have been had there only been some ham in that bowl!

The other scary thing is, I showed the kids who were sitting with me that I had green eggs in my bowl and they all acted as if that were no big deal.

"That happens sometimes."

"That's normal."

"It's from the sauce."

"It's OK, really."

No, it's not normal. No, it's not from the sauce. No, it's not OK.

Really.
