Me too Lynne! I have a recipe for school butterscotch tart that was given to me by a dinner lady. Also the whirly biscuits with icing sugar on, like big Viennese whirls - yummy mmmmmmmmm! Sue

Those were the best of times, those were the worst of times. Boiled mutton stew followed by Spotted Dick and custard, all served up on those nasty mellamine (plastic) plates. The best school dinner was served on the day we sat our 11 Plus exams. Fish and chips with mushy peas. Yummy.

Well there was a war on when I was getting school dinners,in Scotland. and I never gave them a lot of thought, but I cant remember hating them. at that time I think we were getting more than the people on ration books.

Can't say that I really have any fond memories of school dinners! I remember developing a distaste for ravioli that still exists today. Also remember tapioca and horrible pink custard, ughh.... My brother also remembers having some yukky dessert dubbed "Sand In The Red Sea"

Not many people liked school dinners when I was a kid, but I loved them. There were so many, to many to mention but Spam Fritters was one of my favorites yummy!!
