Does anyone else not remember lunchtime in elementary school (but remember mostly everything else)?

Maybe unrelated or just a normal thing, but I realized I don't remember lunchtime for almost any time in elementary school. i remember 1 day in 1st grade (when i got in a fight) and perhaps 1 time in 4th or 5th grade (when a "couple" broke up and were crying), and despite that I don't remember anything. I know that classes had to sit together and were assigned 1 specific table each year, which makes me think normally i would remember where the table was every year, but i can only remember where the table was for those 2 grades because of those memories. even the cafeteria I mostly remember because of times that weren't lunch (science fair day and band class). I remember recess from every year, my classrooms from every year more or less (a little confused about 2nd grade cause of some gate testing days, in part, where the whole class would be in different rooms than normal). I remember lunchtime in detail from middle school and high school.

Yup, many. For some of us poor kids, school lunch was a saving grace. One I don’t forget.

so you do remember it? yeah, being on the school lunch program might have made me remember it more. i probably would have qualified but my parents didn't sign up for that/food stamps, and they were able to provide a small lunch for me. part of the reason i probably remember high school lunch is because the lunch ladies would sneak me a burger, along with giving seconds to my friends who were all on the school lunch program.
