Max Miller has acquired a powerful relic, the highly coveted 1980s Quantity Recipes for School Food Service by the USDA. He discusses some of the culinary treasures from the 1980s USDA. The precious pamphlet contains recipes like Instant mashed potatoes, Sloppy Joe’s, and Salisbury steak.
Pizza wins, as Miller chooses the square-ish dish with a pourable pizza crust recipe. Despite the recipe calling for 100 servings, he decided to go for a more practical portion of only 10 servings. Before taste testing the school cafeteria pizza, Miller also discusses some of the school lunch programs and school nutrition standards in the US over the past few decades.
