what did you hate about school dinners - or foods you thinkSemolina
Tapioca
Rhubarb and lumpy custard
But I love houmos, couscous and nice smooth creamy custard made with real eggs from my ex batt rescue hens!
You might guess I come from a family of good cooks. But I burn things occasionally - no-one believes me that I actually really like burnt stuff. And it's good for you!

... i usually burn food especially pizza - the kids and dogs are used to the smell of burning food and smoke detectors
Love nah absolutely adore burnt toast with marmite

Remember more about the cooks than the food.
Rule number one get friendly with the head cook if you want your fill.
Our head cook if I remember correctly was a member of the disaster team and would be off at the drop of a hat to where ever she was needed.
Usually something like an earthquake zone or what have you.
She was one of the good ones, We used to help her with her car when it wouldn't start which was often! It would be considered a classic today just a banger then.......
Always remember the "frogs spawn" and "antigravity custard" with affection

I hated the sponge pud that was made with cement as a rising agent and served with PINK custard...........thankfully I never have to see that again EVER.
Like Eddie I didn't have school dinners after infants so have few horror memories of early childhood food traumas.

I hated the fish we had served on a Friday( being a Catholic school) and a convent! It was disgusting. Also the rawish beef burgers which made me feel sick to think of it

Oh, I see, I see, I have just clicked...Infants...your version of our New Entrants, of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never had school lunches, but at primary school when we were very poor, our lunches consisted of gooseberry or raspberry jam sandwiches...if we couldnt make it at home, we didnt have it...we lived on venison and cockerels and geese unless our grandmother would treat us to something...the sheep were too few and too valuable to eat!! And beef; never had that until I was a teenager.

Born in Hawaii I was exposed to all sorts of ethnic foods...
I hated the school version of canned spagetti....tasted like yuk!
I love most anything...and don't tell me what it is if it is edible.
Let me decide if I like it first then you can tell me what it is made of...
As far as ehtinic stuff....did not care for raw softshell crab.

We had super steamed treacle sponge the likes of which i never had again until i made a catering size one.
Pink custard - that was odd wasn't it.
How about liver? or meat that you could stretch and it was full of pieces of tube.

school dinnersMashed potatoes, lumpy thick cold gravy, CABBAGE, custard, the tins the dinner came in because the food used to taste like them, just about everything really. Couldn't wait till I was old enough to go into town to the chippie or pie shop.

school dinnersYou tink pink custard was odd, we had chocolate spunge pud with green PEPPERMINT custard, but I loved that so it doen't count for dinners you didn't like does it. So how about school dinners you DID like??

Many years ago i gave one of the dogs marmite on a bit of bread and he spit it out , looked at it in  and then walked away......That was good enough for me.
Liver with tubes in, yep all part of the experience once you managed to cut it.
And yes the flavour of the TINS !!!!!! |

Anne...French specialty? You are kidding, it is an old Suffolk specialty, that with steamed pudding ( Alan's is good at making those!)and custard.
