Good afternoon to one & all, oh my what a heat, it's so hot here I am melting, trying to work in the garden but not getting very far! lol.

Joan.

Afternoon all :-)

That's it Ann... It all depends on the cook.

My nearest primary school here, where my 3 children attended had a wonderful cook, who made her own bread rolls to go with something like a salad. She won awards for her cooking in the area school dinner assessments.
The present one, many years later is very good too.
Other primary schools in the area were varied.
One in particular served grey mushy cauliflower too often for my liking, so I always took a packed lunch, if I had to work there.

Gwyn…I went to Secondary school and all our meals were cooked on site, huge kitchen area and dinner was served in two sittings :-D :-D :-D

The cooks were better cooks than me mum….I wonder who I take after :-D :-D

Von….steady on girl…2 days in a row <3 <3 :-D

Gwyn, that sounds awful school dinners although it did make me laugh as I had visions of Oliver.........Food Glorious Food :-D :-D :-D :-D

MG he should do well if he dances as well as he played :-D

Afternoon everyone :-)

I have never heard of or seen this cake although I have eaten many school dinners.
We had something similar ie. Sponge spread with jam, then sprinkled with coconut, but definitely no icing on it.

Once I got beyond junior school, where mutton and dry butter beans seemed to be all too frequently delivered in big steel containers from some faraway depot, grammar school dinners, cooked fresh on the premises were very good.

Afternoon Everyone :-D <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I had to go to the West End this morning, to pick something up. Gawd it was orrible!
Made a swift exit and got home as soon as possible.

I might have guessed that LG, Tony Adams to go into Strictly. ;-)

I quite liked Tottenham cake, it's in me blood you see, my Nan came from there. :-D :-D

Afternoon all :-D <3

Back helping with kitchen refurbishment ;-) ;-)

Very envious. Wish it was mine getting done ;-)

I hated school dinners full stop :-( :-(

I wouldn't eat that cake out of principle :-D :-D :-D.

Hi you lovely folk, take care in this heat <3

Afternoon Pat :-D <3 Belle :-D <3 Ann :-D <3 Joy :-D <3

Ann, initially I wondered whether it was a cake iced in Spurs’ colours. :-D :-D :-D

Then I googled it and I think your description fits! :-D :-D :-D

Belle, we had blinds and curtains at one side of the house closed too - and have now even though it is a comfortable 26 degrees.

Ann - snot balls !!! :-0 :-D

I just looked at the link….we just called it Pink Icing cake in school :-D :-D

Ann, I hadn't until I looked at Pat's link and then recognised it :-D :-D

That’s how we had it at school too and it always seemed strange to have an iced cake smothered in custard. I preferred chocolate or ginger pudding with custard. Semolina was my favourite milk pudding - still like it.

Snot balls Belle :-0 :-0 :-0

I had every window in the house full open for half an hour at 5:30 this morning, Joy.Then closed them all and pulled the blinds down.....we are quite comfortable at the moment :-D

Morning Belle & Joy
<3 <3

Tesco has sold out of bottled water :-0 :-0 will try again tonight, in the meantime have remembered me emergency supply in the shed :-D :-D

Joy…never heard of that cake :-)
