Who remembers these this school meal

I was at primary school in the 1970's and like others have said, rice pudding springs to mind, and also semolina, both of which had inch thick bullet proof skin, really awful jam, and very lumpy custard. Peas and Carrots always had those broad beans in it which no one liked. Sausages also always had really thick greasy skin on them. I remember vividly as the dinner lady made me eat the cold skins after I'd left them on the side of the plate!

Oh wow, yeh this brings back some awful food memories. I'm 49 and I still can't touch rice pudding. It smells like sick to me and I refuse to try it again. School custard was also disgusting for some reason, but luckily my mother had Birds custard so I knew what it was supposed to taste like. Phew!!

I think I was kind of ok with other things, although I was always really picky with vegetables until I became an older teen. The one thing I did constantly was accidentally flip the plastic plates by pressing too hard on the edge of the plate, spilling my dinner all over me. I'm sure I did this at least 3-4 times during junior school 1980-1987.

I will eat most things these days, but one of my comfort meals is still sausage, chips and beans. That was a school dinner thing but it was extremely rare.

Yep same here, Birds custard was king :) No Fresh custard from the supermaket then.
