docmel Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I used to have the same school dinner every day.. Cheese pie, chips and beans and a can of tropical fruit flavoured pop.... (wished it was lilt) Does anyone know how to make cheese pie ?? You mean you had a choice?? - when I was at school (mind you this was in teh 50's and 60's) you ate what you were given. If you didnt like it there were usually two outcomes - depending on the teacher on 'lunch duty' : 1. You left your food and went hungry 2. You left your food but was then given a reprimand/clip round the ear for being so ungrateful - especially when there were 'so many starving children elswhere in the world' I certainly remember at junior school the headmaster taking the last option - woe betide any kid who left any food on his plate - depending on his mood you would either get a fairly stiff telling off but kept qiuet-ish....or... if he was in a bad mood - the whole school would know how ungrateful you were because of the 'starving kids etc etc' Many was the time I ate some food (cannot remember what it was now) with my nose pinched between my nose like some foul medicine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smileyjiver Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I remember the cheese pie (with tomato on the top) and chocolate sponge with chocolate sauce. I also remember having stew and getting a piece of dry bread with it - we thought that was quite a treat. Also do you remember the plastic cups of water we were given?

nmr1 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Anyone remember the potato shortage, every school dinner we were given a bag of crisps instead of potato??? Still don't know were the potato's came from to make crisps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denise2436 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I can remember the warm tomato sauce, we use to have it over fish. These are from a school dinner lady years ago, I was really suprised that the croquette's were cheese always thought it was potato! CHEESE CROQUETTE’S 2Pints Milk 12oz Pudding Rice 2oz Flour 2oz Onion Chopped small 11b 10oz Cheese 2 Eggs Beaten For best results use 11b 5oz mature red chedder/5oz normal red cheddar. Method Cook rice in 2 pt milk until soft or absorbed all milk. Grate cheese and onion, mix with rice and allow to cool.Then chill in fridge for a few hrs or over night it’s easier to shape then. On a floured surface shape rice mix into shape ( 20 portions ) Dip in egg then breadcrumbs Deep fry in moderate hot oil until golden brown. SCHOOL CHEESE FLAN Bake a pastry case blind ( lined with greaseproof and topped with dried pasta or dried peas) Not blindfolded !. FILLING 3qrt 1b Cheese 1 third Pint of Milk 2 Eggs Half Tsp Mustard ( powdered mustard ) 4 Onions ( grated ) Method Just mix all ingredients together then add to pastry case Bake middle shelf Gas 6 or 200C / 400F Infant School Recipe For Flan As above leaving out the Onion and Mustard, add the grated cheese to flan base and then pour mixture on top. I always love the above with chips and spaghetti but some of my friends love them with chips and tinned tom's. Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKer Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I hate to admit it now but I used to nick rolls from the canteen each lunch (had a routine well worked out and never got caught!), so I could afford fags with my dinner money to sneak up the playing field with! They were always delicious on home made bread and I feel quite guilty for it now, being a reformed character! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
