You’ve seen it before but it’s always worth mentioning how cheap it is.

Foreshorting is lying to you. The sardine and jalapeno pizza are the same size.

Cost per person without toppings: $2.77 Toppings are cheap. Toppings can be scraps from other meals.

      Yesterday I had a long conversation about lunch elementary school protocols with my wife. She has a fixed menu like you show here.

      At my school they would take your entree order with attendance. 45 minutes before lunch a stack of blue or pink card would show up and he handed out on your way to lunch so you could get what you asked for. There were always two items to pick from plus the salad and type of milk.
      Either burritos or pizza were available almost every day. Sloppy Joe, spaghetti, hamburger or something else was the alternate choice. All the choices sucked. But burrito or pizza as the backup always got me through.

      Rarely they would offer that same burrito deep fried. Chimichanga day was always my favorite.

      At her school you got what you got. At my school there was always a choice.

      I lived in formally Mexican held territory. Just an hour from the border. Why didn’t we have tacos? We should have had tacos.
