My school used to do 'Cheese & Potato Pie'. It was mashed potato and grated cheese mixed together and put in a pie dish.

About 2 fork-fulls of it would fill you up and start coming out of your nose.

We still use it as a metaphor for when something sticks in your throat and makes you retch.

I went looking in the sops to buy Cheese Croquettes but couldnt find them anywhere I use to love Cheese Croquettes baked beans and chips when at school. I wish you could still buy them in the shop you see potatoe ones but not cheese.

I dont ever recall school dinners being 'Yummy'. Worst of all, I had this horrible teacher who took great pleasure volunteering for guard duty in the dinner hall each and every dinnertime and she wouldnt let you leave until you finished every last crumb off your plate. She was evil... I am surprised I dont have some sort of eating issues/disorder now.

Yeah! Cheese flan!!! It was made in a massive steel container and if you were dead lucky you'd get a corner bit with two sides of pastry on. Mmmmmm.

 

Oh my fave was that custard/Manchester tart with coconut in. Christ that was gooooood....:love:

 

We never had croquettes though - i first had them when I was a student - Tesco used to do them.

 

This was all only at primary mind, secondary school dinners were spew apart from the sandwiches and those 3 inch thick pizzas.
