School Dinners when "we" were young....

Tell me what you loved/hated.

My loves-Chocolate pudding with Chocolate custard.

Semolina and Jam.

Lovely cheese salads when they started getting a bit more Jamieish!

Chips!

You can still get the frozen juice cartons (pyramid shape) I have some in my freezer now

Toothboy-Cobblers? Were you in the Draconian Year then?

Apologies Waterfalls, am sure you make lovely Tapioca. I have a milk thing (bleugh!)

Yes tapioca is what people call frogspawn

Were you lot going to school in the psychedelic years then with all this colured custard or was it too much acid at breaktime?

Frogspawn was puke and I don't know how anyone could get it down their necks-same as rice pudding! Yuck!

Oi - leave my cobblers alone!

Bread and butter pudding...totally VILE!!!!

I remember being a 'server' in 4th yr junior and my friends were teasing me saying i fancied the headmaster. So I wiped the dishcloth round their faces - only to be spotted by Mr Bates who bellowed at me in front of the whole school, how stupid and irresponsible i was . Oh, the shame!!

toffee cream tart yummo
horrible horrrrible kentucky pie
i cooked them for a while, surprisingly wholesome ingredients generally, but that was late 80s.

Does anyone recall those frozen juice cartons.

in my junior and infant school the custard always matched the colour of the cake! - very psychedelic

We never had coloured custard . We had sort of a chocolate coloured, custard consistency, type of thing, which they would serve with half melted ice cream though.

I loved:
blamanche thing that had a covering of cornflake cakes
burgers in buns
semolina
scone with jam and cream on
yoghurts

I hated:
mashed turnip!!! they did the usual ..think of all those children who are starving

Another hate was the custard, as by the time i would get to it there would a thick skin on the top that always made me feel sick...bleuch!!!

Dry egg flan (not called quiche in those days) with even dryer mashed potato. Yeugh.

Ok fine I give up, but I did cut my finger trying to get into one with a fork and there was blood every where.

Amai - were they pyramid shaped?

loved "salads" with luncheon meat and salad cream , choc sponge and choc custard.

Yes yes yes yes!!

Amai

I have some in my freezer.the kids love them.

We used to call them Jubblies.
