I actually have good memories of school dinners! Proper meals like meat crumble and Manchester tart for afters or something we used to call cornflake pie (this was in the seventies and early eighties). Served on proper plates, not the plastic trays they seem to have today where all courses are plonked on together. Some of the dinner ladies could be a bit ferocious too! One fearsome little woman actually tried to make me eat the soggy sprouts that I left on my plate to the point where I was retching, it took me years to try another sprout after that! But, on the whole, I think the dinners we had then were much better and healthier than the stuff that gets served up today.
