I left school 1955 The only thing I remember was the Chocolate Crunch mmmmmm When my five children went to school they said the same, so I got them to get the receipe. Have now lost it and would love to make it for my grandchildren. Anyone got it???????? Would be grateful.

i remember white spaghetti and weak orange squash in fake gold jugs. and trying to eat a whole cream doughnut without licking your lips! paul...

dinners where horrible but did like the minted custard with cakes:)

mashed lumpy potato dished out in ice cream scoops....yuk!!!

different coloured custard.green pink, white, chocolate custard.the most awful thing was the cabbage was very soggy .

the mash potatoes and sponge pudding and custard

semolina, pink custard, tapioka (looked like frog spawn, yuk)

Sad, but I loved frog spawn pudding, along with tapioca et al, so long as I managed to stop the cook dumping jam in it.

Lovely dinners.Roast chicken,roast beef,roast potatoes,veg,gravy.Chocolate sponge and custard.Pink Custard,chocolate custard,apple crumble.I enjoyed the peas though,not to eat but to catapult at other people!

Primary school - swede (like eating nettles), sago (frog spawn) yuk! Boarding school - lumpy porrage (yuk), toad in the hole with lots of gravy (great!) Work - fruit crumbles (really great!) Philip

brian i love semolina pudding but it has to be hot not cold with a little strawbeery jam in it.

My favourite was 'gypsy tart' Who remembers that?

At primary school we were really lucky and had a wonderful cook. I think all schools must have had the same recipes though, as we all seem to have had the same food just cooked in different ways! Secondary school wasn't as good, we had a canteen system but at least we could choose. I did a short spell of work experience back at my own primary school and yes, you've guessed it, I stayed for school dinners!! Yummm. Mandy :)

Left school in 1965 loved school dinners all except fridays which was always boiled to death Fish "YUK"

I remember having to eat meat, we weren't allowed to leave until we had eaten everything, and I didn't like meat. the meat always had fat and gristle so we used to fight to sit by the windows because along that side there were iron grids that let the warm air up from the cellars. We used to drop the fat and gristle through the grids to the cellar, we never got found out so I presume there were mice or something down there that enjoyed our dinner.

I left school in 1964 and thought that the school dinners were very good. Unlike the unhealthy meals that seem to get given to the children nowadays.
