Lunch is everyone’s favorite part of the day. Whether you brown bag or buy, everyone has something different to eat and drink. However, some lunches are a little more bizarre than others.

Senior Elise Cornett’s favorite food to bring in her lunch is baby carrots to dip in peanut butter. This healthy option is uncommon but maybe deserves a try!

“My friend Piper was eating it and I tried it and fell in love because the carrots taste horrible, but they’re healthy, and the peanut butter made carrots taste so good, so I just kinda eat them now,” said Cornett.

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and juniors Kyrie Padberg and Elise Keele choose to eat their breakfast in the afternoon. They have been bringing egg sandwiches every day all year long.

“I started eating them freshman year and I love them. Elise, my bff, got me hooked. Sometimes they taste better on a cinnamon mini bagel, or with bacon on them,” said Padberg.

Senior Ben Mueller finds it easiest to bring peanut butter and a bag of bagels for lunch every day.

“It is very convenient for me to just throw a jar of peanut butter and a bag of bagels in my bag every Monday and not have to worry about making lunch for the rest of the week. I do it because I always forget to pack a lunch, so even though it’s not much, at least I would have some bagels and peanut butter,” said Mueller.

Senior Katie Eck has been eating a mix of rice, soup and milk she calls “slop” for lunch for a long time. Her bizarre food started off as a family recipe.

“My dad used to make this for my mom all the time when they first got married because that’s all he knew how to make, and it was really cheap. There wasn’t really a name for it, so my dad just called it slop. My parents actually ate this so much that my mom got sick of it so the only time I can eat it is when my mom isn’t home for dinner,” said Eck.

These ingredients aren’t your typical concoctions. However, a little creativity in the kitchen leads to some interesting and apparently tasty outcomes. This was the case for the Eck’s family recipe.

“First you boil some rice on the stove. Then, while that is in the works, you put a big skillet on the stove and heat up some meat and mix it with cream of mushroom soup with a little bit of milk. And voila! You have slop,” said Eck.

These lunch options are different to say the least. As unique as they seem, these foods will either make you question your friends’ judgment, or add on a new meal to your menu. You decide!
