Jackie, I came across your blog tonight and I love it. I was born in Cleveland Ms. We moved to Central Ms. when I was 10, then years later to South Ms. Growing up with both parents cooking, and meeting new people in other areas, I learned everyone cooks very differently in other areas of the state. Up North we had a lot of catfish available. Near the Coast, more seafood was readily available. Dad always had a small garden, so we had fresh vegetables most of the time. My dad made the best yeast rolls. I can still smell them baking. But forgot about those at school, until I read your blog. That smell permeated the whole school. We couldn’t wait till lunch break. Do you remember‘swapping food’? To me you were in heaven if you could swap for an extra Yeast Roll, lol. Thanks for the long lost memories of the lunchroom ladies that cooked their hearts out for us! Our kids would have been so lucky to have been served those yeast rolls and hamburger soup like our lunchroom ladies made for us, back in 1961 – ….. all brings a smile to my face. Love you recipes!

I TRIED FOR YEARS TO DUPLICATE THAT LUNCHROOM PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH. i TRIED ALL THE SYRUPS, HONEY, JELLYS, ECT. FINALLY, ONE DAY, WHEN I DIDN’T HAVE ANYTHING ON HAND BUT SOME MOLASSES, THAT WAS IT. i KNEW IT EVEN BEFORE I TASTED IT BY LOOKING AT THE CONSISTANCY OF IT AND THEN THE TASTE WAS SPOT ON. THEN, I REMEMBERED ALWAYS SEEING THOSE LARGE CANS OF MOLASSES IN THE LUNCHROOM KITCHEN.

In reply to Amber Allen. I’ve been told it was honey but I’ve never tried it so I’m not sure.

In reply to Doris Hartley. Hi l am a lunchlady the secret to the peanut butter sammich is a little applesauce. Don't. forget to add cabbage to your soup. We also added a small amount of tomato paste. One of my favorite days to eat at school.

YES! the peanut butter sandwich! I have told people about this and they look at me like I’m crazy!
It was one of my favorite meals in grade school – when the lunch ladies actually cooked!

Just discovered this searching for the vegetable soup I remember from school! My aunt was a lunch lady and she’d make this for family sometimes too. That and the yeast rolls were my favorites! Now do you have the recipe for the rolls?

We had peanut butter sandwiches with this soup. The peanut butter was mixed with a syrup of some kind or something sweet (not jelly or a jam.) I’ve tried to duplicate the taste I remember perfectly but have never been successful. If anyone knows what I’m talking about and knows what was used please let me know.

What is the point of having a “Print Friendly” version if I have to get all the comments with it?

In reply to Judy. Judy, Sorry for the late response. Your comment was caught by my spam filter and aim just now seeing it. I hope everything worked out well for you. I used frozen corn in mine but it's not necessary to drain canned corn.
