you found a good one! those are official jail trays and common jail food, usually loaded with potatoes and other carbs, a small about of protein and a small serving of veggies. typical county jail food is 70% carbs, 10% protein and 20% vegetables, steamed with no nutritional value because once drained, they are more or less water.

fun fact, the trays are shaped like that so they can be stacked 50 at a time, tied down and keep them fairly warm for inmates. on days when inmates know hamburgers are a good amount of meat will be served, there will be all kinds of trades made from the inmates. gambling, trades like notebooks or stamps or envelopes...my exGF and 2 relatives were corrections officers, ive taken a few tours. county jail is living hell....especially if your white and educated.

I appreciate your insights and your experience because I have none, however even pics like this kinda look good to me because of the bread and cabbage (steam it and put a little white pepper on it and it is amazing) and lettuce. I love plain bread and cabbage and lettuce. That said, I've live in countries where salted rice is staple and grasshoppers are a protein luxury.

I'm not trying to be an edgelord, I've just always enjoyed the very basics.

once your in jail...you wont like the food. the cabbage is often mixed into raman noodles. the roll meat and slad would be used to make a fake sandwich. the bread peice would be wolfed down just to not be starving by the time the next meal comes.

jail food. it sucks, and there isnt enough.
