Used to cost 5 bob. In sec school used to take turns buying fags and pies. Unless it was a dinner we liked. They used to make a butter scotch pie that was rather like a butterscotch flavoured egg custard. Wish i knew how to make it. Can still remember the taste to this day. mmmm makin my mouth water thinking about it.
 
Used to get 5 park drive and a book of matches with my dinner money.  Teachers used to stand at the edge of the playground and you had to give them a fag in order to pass them to get to the sneaky smokey area.

You could buy packets of 5 fags or the shopkeeper would sell you one fag.. Yes even in school iniform.

These are the days of no warning on fags.. Advertisment encouraging you to smoke blah blah and at age 13/14 not knowing any better. Thats always been my excuse for smoking... Lasted 25 years.. Now been smoke free for about 7 years :)
 
I used to love school dinners real meat and veg, choc pudding and pink custard, now it's all junk food no wonder lots of kids are overweight.
 
Used to like the salad. we had that once a week. Used to come with mashed potato, which I liked with salad cream on.

Also Manchester tart I think it was called. A banana and custard flan with jam at the bottom.

Once a week we used to get coffee instead of water, and occasionally milkshake.

Used to like prunes & custard too. Tinker tailor........

When I started school the dinners were 1 shilling a day (5p).
 
Manchester Tarts - i used to love them, that brings back some memories.

We used to always have Ravioli on the Menu - it seems like it was on every day.

Other than that School Dinners where actually quite decent.
:)
 
Cazzer we ad all that at our school in Preston. The coffeeand the bread and buter we got with the salad was to die for.
Sounds like you had it easy at your school harry bribing the teachers  :o  :o
 
Hungarian Goulash!

Frogspawn (yuk!)

Fish on Fridays back then.

Apple Crumble - lovely
 
Never had no goulash. Would have bin off to the pie shop if we did. YUK!!!!
Hate that sort of food. Its plain cooking for me all the way.
Prunes. Cant even look at one now without seening the lads trying to spit the stones back into the dish on the middle of the table.
Mick cant stand the things either.
 
Semolina and frog spawn, pink blancmange, prunes, brussel sprouts, which the dinner lady used to watch us eat, to make sure we didn't throw them under the table. Still can't eat a sprout without retching. No wonder we spent our dinner money on fags. ;D
 
Frog spawn mmmmmm
soggy semolina yuk.
Manchester tart. Still my favorite.
Toad in the hole. Sure they used propper toads. Disgusting.
Bread and butter pudding now were talking.
Toast.
Good idea and a brew to go with it.
 
soggy fish fingers and chips, with really vinegery garden peas and banana milkshake that used to taste like washingup liquid
 
Nice one little mo!

Just a basic pastry case with a layer of rasberry jam at the bottom. sliced bananas on top of that and ordinary custard with a few more banana slices in the middle. Then hundreds & thousands on the top.
Made it myself a few times and it tasted just like the school stuff, so don't think there's anything else to it.  :)
