My Mum has the actual school dinner recipe for cheese flan, much to the excitement of my boyfriend...

 

Hi Cosmic. Please please would you be willing to share this recipe. I have looked on the internet so many times but none compare to the real Sheffield school cheese flan. My mouth is watering at the thought. Thanks

I didn,t stop for school dinners much until our old girl got herself a job,this was in the late 50s,etched on my memory was the cabbage boiled to an inch of its life and of course semolina horrible stuff!.At Hillfoot School we didn,t have kitchens so the food was delivered hot in large square aluminium cases,we queued up like refugees to be faced with several huge dinner ladies all built like Giant Haystacks the wrestler!.It was a case of eat the mysterious concoction or suffer brain damage from the severe clip coming in your direction shortly after a refusal of the fodder on offer from the teacher on dinner duty!.It was a fact Jamie Oliver hadn,t designed the menus but times were different then you just had to get it down you,I was speaking to an old schoolpal about the subject and to my surprise he said he loved the dinners and couldn,t get enough it just goes to show everyone has different tastes!.But for myself I hated them and started taking packing up after a while,it was because I had been lucky living on a smallholding I was used to fresh chicken,pork,rabbit,bacon,eggs and fresh veg not like some of my schoolpals who were really poor coming from one parent families,I know for sure a lot came to school with no breakfast,inadequate clothing in winter so school dinners for them were a lifeline,not so happy days!.
