I loved school dinners but now I cannot understand why there were fist fights over slices of buttered bread that were occaisionally handed out. It seemed to be important to get as many slices as you could.
I hated Friday's coz it was always Fish. Can't stand the stuff, even the thought of it makes me want to throw up. Wasn't too keen on prunes either.
What about school milk in those little bottles with the foil top and the little aluminium disk that was used to press the foil in.

When I I left Accrington to do my degree. I could not believe my luck to find that the dining room in the Halls of Residence used all the same recipies that I remembered from school - Sheer bliss!
