Since the start of the 25-26 school year, new lunch options have been added to the school lunch menu. Some of these include: Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower, Chili Lime Hummus Bento Box, and the Meatball Sub Sandwich. These new foods provide variety to the lunch line.
The general consensus among people is that including new dishes is a great addition to the lunch menu. These new options are healthier. Such as the Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower, and the Italian green beans.
In reaction to the new foods Freshman Byron Hill exclaims, “Yes! I love that the school added new stuff,” While Freshman Aaniyah Williams said, ¨It’s better than it was, I like the taste and texture¨.
The Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower is flavorful with a slight kick. People seemed to really like the Meatball Sub. The sauce is described as tangy, with a subtle flavor of tomato. The bread is soft, yet slightly sweet, the meatballs infused with the sauce, giving them a strong flavor.
Junior Max Hoyte enjoyed it, saying “The meatball sub was really good, the ratio of sauce and cheese is really good”
While some simply just like it, others are ecstatic about the changes. Freshman Kayden Brown said, “I love the new food! It’s awesome sauce!¨ Despite not absolutely loving it, others still like the new food.
Another great inclusion to lunch is the ice cream cart. Having a cold treat on hot Texas days really helps beat the heat. Having something sweet will always be appreciated by students.
Their offerings include different types such as cones, cups, and sandwiches. They also have many flavors, such as the Cookies and Cream, where the freezing cold and chocolate flavor clashed perfectly. The Cherry Push Pop is a super sweet, and refreshing fruity flavor that’s almost like the real thing.
The ice cream was praised, Sophomore Olive Abel said “The ice cream really reminds me of the ice cream from the ice cream truck. The flavor of the ice cream is sweet but not too sweet and the consistency is perfect.”
From the savory Meatball Sub, to the sugary ice cream cones. With all these new lunch options, people have more variety in what they can eat at lunch.
