Most of my school dinners were grim or grey but there are some things I would desperately like to eat again mainly cake.

They include, but are not limited to;

'Shit cakes' as they were known Grin. They had cornflakes and golden syrup and looked like turds-hence the name they were known by. I have searched in vain for these to make them at home

School pizza- greasy, cheap cheese and tomato. Molten hot and square.

Sponge and custard-the custard was luminous, a bit lumpy and was served in generous portions with vanilla sponge covered in sprinkles. My teeth are rotting in sympathy.

I was about 6 stone and could have disappeared if I turned sideways yet ate this crap every day sadly not true these days.

Excited to see some fellow spam fritter lovers here. I thought I was the only person who ever liked them!

I also loved the rice pudding and semolina. Ours came with a bit of grated chocolate on top. Also chocolate concrete with chocolate custard and I remember a cherry shortbread with pink custard. My secondary school did amazing chocolate flapjacks.

Oh
Someone said they were from Kent and had Apple after a sweet pudding
That reminded me I went to a school in Essex briefly.
After lunch we had either apple slices or chunks of carrot - for the benefit of our teeth I think
Did anyone else have this (late 70s)?

I think about Tottenham cake an awful lot

Cheese aigrettes....I only ever ate them at primary school, never before or since, and they were lovely.

Butterscotch tart, preferably a square corner piece, with a coin-sized blob of fake cream in the middle.
