As a side note, Primary school for me had food brought in. Only when I went to a large High School did they cook on premises. Average food for the 1st 4 years. Much better as 5th years, ( Seniors) we had a really nice dining area with good on premises cooks different from the rest of the school, I suppose they were saying, we deserved a bit better. We even had a different tie for 5th year, I still wear it once in a while. Thanks for the recipes, Keef. btw, Moorside High School, Swinton. Cheers.

Glad to see that you regret not getting this from your Dinner Ladies. I think I had School Dinners 1sh/day from the age of about 8 till I left scobday School. Both the Junior School and the Secondary School had on-site kitchens and this was served often. I was 8 in 1952 so you may edit your description to include the 50s and 60s decades. I pity present day youngsters their School Dinners ours were wonderful. The only thing I didn't like was Onion Sauce and Parsley Sauce. And some milk pudding that was nicknamed 'Frog Spawn', cannot remember what it was but blobs of 'something'. Probably tasted fine, just looked yuk!
@cgat19552 жыл бұрын
Frogspawn was sago if I remember correctly, I also remember not many of us liked it. 🥴 The schools that I went to had decent cooks so our meals were ok. I used to love beef stew with crispy dumplings, we got good food compared to what the schools provide nowadays we never ever got chips just mashed potatoes, but we got roast potatoes on our Christmas dinner that was a real treat. My mum cooked great meals so I was lucky to get two cooked meals per day, some kids only got the one at school so i supposed it made a big difference if they were nicely cooked.
@jamesgoacher16062 жыл бұрын
@@cgat1955 Yes that's it was Sago cos I see Semolina mentioned in another post which I liked. We had a ditty: Semolina Pudding. - Meat and Potato Pie, - All mixed together, - with a dead dogs eye. 🙂 Which is strange because they are all things that were good and wholesome which school kids are missing nowadays.

Interesting that I only now found out that "Tart" does not mean acidic or sour in baking. It means a thick base pastry to a pie. I had these for dessert in Manchester in the 1960's and 70's. Loaded with sugar. Hope the NHS told you to use a low sugar version?? I know the procedure you are talking about. I would only make this recipe now for my 20 year old son, way too much sugar for wife and I. Thanks though for the explanation.

I’m 54 and I’ve never heard of this. When I was at primary and middle school most, if not all of the school dinners came from a centralised council run facility. I’m having a bit of a moment remembering the cheese pie. I suspect it was mostly potato but it was bloody lovely. Then I went to a fancy grammar school and the food was awful, apart from cherry cheesecake which I suspect they bought in. They had these awful “rissoles” that we called feet. All the meat content of your average shoe.
