You can't have a message board about school and then not talk about those dreaded school dinners! I think people the world overlook forward to their lunch break - who wouldn't enjoy hanging out with their mates for an hour. But don't enjoy the not so nutritious, unappetizing slop on a plate. But that said, I do have fond memories of the afters which was a bit better than the main dishes. It was generally stodge but traditional, British stodgy classics LOL like Jam tart and custard, rice pudding and chocolate pudding.
What are everyone else's memories of school dinners?
Oh god yeah, spam! I love the hundred and one ways they tried to serve it but at the end of the day it was still spam and most of us put it in the slop bucket. I understand that spam is very economical shall we say, but if no one's eating it then it's just a waste. I also remember semolina or rice pudding with a dollop of jam in the middle, as well as jam tart and custard which I actually looked forward to.
