Favourite School Dinners

[Georgiesmum]

What was your favourite meal at school? Mine was their cheese and carrot pie. Delish!

[Zacs-Master]

Spam fritters followed by Manchester tart.

[Georgiesmum]

We were lucky. We had lovely meals at both schools.

You can't have that nowadays, Zacs

[Zacs-Master]

Not unless you go to a public school Talbot. ;-)

Fish fingers and chips on a Friday the only palatable meal of the week! (Thank goodness for Catholics not eating meat on a Friday) and jam rolypoly pud and custard.

Primary School: A Hot Dog (If I could get one). Didn't like anything else they served.

Secondary School: Probably Sausage, Chips and Beans / Went home / Went to the local Safeway (Now Sainsbury's).

I left Education in 1988, btw.

From my memory school dinners were awful but the puds were great.

Don't ever remember there being a vegetarian option in those days - but I am going back a bit.

[Canary42]

I don't remember having a favourite in my time (Fifties) - had several contra-favourites, e.g. stew, tapioca.

[Mamyalynne]

My School dinners were great - Live and onion my favourite.

[Tilly2]

Cheese and onion pie and mashed potatoes.

* Liver of course

[EcclesCake]

BBC (beans, bangers & chips) followed by Gypsy Tart.

[Svejk]

10 No6.

[flump1]

Steak and kidney pie with mashed potatoes and another vegetable. With gravy. It was lush. My sister and I were lucky to enjoy great school dinners.

[Prudie]

My favourite main was roast mutton and onion sauce. There were two puds we all loved, chocolate cracknel (the rice crispie thing) and toffee cream tart which was heavenly and I've never come across anything like it since (and it's not the same as gypsy tart)

[Tilly2]

My favourite dinners, when I was teaching, were those where I wasn't on dinner duty.

5 Park Drive and fish and chips

[queenofmean]

Primary School Macaroni cheese

Secondary the Chicken Kiev balls or chips with curry sauce

[B00]

I pretty much loved it all.

The chips were brilliant. Manchester tart, chocolate sponge and green peppermint sauce, the peanut butter cookies and those very special occasions when we got milkshakes :-)
