I remembered this morning that one of the things that has always stuck in my mind about home ec at school is the smell of the room. Everything in the lower school cookery block seemed to have a underlying whiff of onions and margarine. The teatowels, the chopping boards.
The upper school bit (that I used for GCSE) was more open plan and didn't seem to have the same smell.

I also remember the very first lesson that we had to write out the contents of the drawers and make sure every thing was in place- and make sure everything went back. Prior to starting secondary in 1983 I had only ever peeled veg with a knife- as far as I know, my mother still does .

Although it was years before I got my hands on a left handed / double sided potato peeler. That was a game changer .

Exactly! A glace cherry! 🤣🤣

I guess it was a fashion thing - a lot of us seem to have made it in school but you never see it on a menu anywhere or recipes for one.

A great alternative is to use pears (tinned work well) and chocolate sponge cake. Very nice indeed and a favourite comfort pudding in the winter. I couldn't tell you when I last made a traditional one.

Bread and butter pudding was another firm home-ec favourite. As was making a full english breakfast.

OMG grilled grapefruit is still a thing.

Mushroom soup
Chicken Italian Style (not sure why it’s Italian though it is a tasty casserole I still make, perhaps because it has a tin of tomatoes in the ingredients?)
Bakewell tart

I did O level food and nutrition and really enjoyed cooking at school, our teacher was great and actually helped a lot with all my subjects by teaching us how to plan and write essays and giving feedback on them. The exam included a 2 1/2 hour essay paper, you had to do 5 out of a choice of 8 questions, and learning how to do essays helped for all my essay subjects. None of my other teachers covered this!

Winter salad
Cheese flan
Pineapple upside down cake

Grilled Grapefruit. You would make this for your husband!!

Russian Fish Pie

Rice pudding or Sponge puffing.

Sounds very heavy apart from the grilled grapefruit but only things I can remember! Half the bloody rice pud ended up sloshing in my bag and my beautiful jam sponge pudding fell on the floor when I tripped. It was still perfect but on a playground floor so that was the end of that!

Well I'm late to the party, but as I'm bringing-
Starter-egg sandwich
Main-egg salad
Dessert-open egg sandwich..
I think you'll all agree it was worth the wait!😂

Over egging it!!!

Bread roll
sausage and onion plait with salad
christmas pudding or fruit salad

Vegetable soup (very herb heavy)
Lamb stew
Vanilla sponge cake with jam covered in chocolate for a topic where we launched a chocolate bar in group.

Soup and homemade bread rolls
Fish pie (pink, because ketchup was in the sauce)
Rum baba

Macaroni cheese
1970 chicken curry (complete with the raisins) I went to secondary in the early 2000’s
all in one Victoria sponge (which still took longer than 2 hours to make som how!!!)

In my whole time at school I don't think I ever made a main course. Lots of desserts. Once made garlic mushrooms in a cream sauce so that's my starter.

Chocolate fondue for main and Chocolate truffles for dessert I guess!

That pudding was known as Splurge
