Jam Roly Poly with custard!

Only other things I can vividly remember were turkey twizzlers and luncheon meat - and I think I might've liked both of them...

My granny was a school dinner lady, so she always brought me home chocolate sponge and pink custard.

I've never seen pink custard since primary school dinners.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago

It isn't really custard either. It's pink blancmange mix with lots of milk.

Ah the custard at my school was rank! I envy you.

Yep. More then 40 years gone. I still remember this more then anything else in 70s schooling.

Toffee cream tart was my favorite from primary school. However most of my memories were bad ones of being forced to eat everything on the plate including the gristle.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 0 points 3 weeks ago

That sounds good. The toffee tart bit not the gristle

Gypsy tart. Still havent learnt if theres a PC name for that..

Probably seems strange, but I remember loving the lentil soup my school did. It was probably one of the few choices that was made fresh, so that probably helped. I also loved the caramel cake.
