'kin revolting apart from a Caramel tart that I've never found outside of Chase Cross Comprehensive. So I had a chip butty, mars bar and a can of fizzy pop every day! Jamie Oliver would drop a testicle but it did me no harm :unsure:

My missus now works in a school kitchen and brought me a chicken curry home last week that was lovely - oh how it's changed!

Sounds like the Gypsy tart to me!

I had school dinners pretty much the whole way through junior & secondary school.

At secondary school all i can remember is dodgy fast food crap - awful stodgy pizza's, thick soggy chips, and burgers laced with the occasional nail clipping.

However infants & junior school dinners were ace, i loved them. My outstanding memory was 'Cowboy Pie' - which was corned beef and baked beans mixed up in a pie. Great stuff!

I used to be scared of having school dinners at Primary School because the dinner ladies used to practically force feed you if you didn't finish it all. One memorable occasion I didn't want to eat the sausages as they were all burnt and horrible. Dinner lady told me I couldn't get up until my plate was empty. As soon as she walked off I stood up and dropped the whole dinner tray on the floor knowing I'd be off the hook. Unfortunately she went and replaced what I'd dropped and I had to stay there until I had ate it all :(

I did used to love it when someone dropped their tray and everyone would cheer!

Dinners at Senior school were not much better, hardest choice was trying to decide whether to have have a sausage in batter or turkey twizzler with your chips. Terrible food!

Dunno mate, it was probably out of a packet but my god, Gordon Ramsey couldn't craft anything finer.

I remember waiting for the day that hot dogs were set, everyone was over the moon when we had it :)

And the days we had an ice finger bun for dessert, although it was just a hot dog roll with icing on the top!

Also we used to have a drink contest, who could down their juice the quickest, one boy just used to do it in one gulp!

Well they do say small things please small minds ! :)

Really? Aunt Bessie does some very nice ones! We have them often instead of roast at the weekend.

I remember at my junior school, you used to have two 4th years (yr 6s!) as monitors to every table of 6 children. Like I said at that level they were really good, don't remember the secondary ones being as good. I remember packed lunches being allowed though, just a few people to begin with.

I loved school dinners although the nuns at st josephs on canvey could be a tad harsh at times.
Iheld the record for eating 22 sausages at one sitting,no doubt the reason im a fat **** now.
Before we left blighty heycroft stop doing school dinners and it was all packed lunches,bad bad bad in my opinion.The kids now enjoy a fresh cooked 4 course lunch here and mostly love it all.
