School Dinners

From what I remember of school dinners they were awful,the dinner ladies use to leave the kitchen doors open and the smell is very enticing.
But don't be fooled the food was over cooked to the point of leaving little to no nutritional value....the puddings were ok though.....if you liked semolina ;)
 
Our school dinners were cooked off the premises and were delivered around 11.30 in large steel containers by cream Bedford vans with the Lancashire red rose logo on the side.
These lunches were also provided to the needy as 'Meals on Wheels'.
 
Yes, they were. I remember once going to the dental clinic on Cannon St and seeing the vans lined up ready to be filled with rice pudding and steaming gravy.
 
Back on the school dinners kick again
Going to make mince beef pie with mash and peas for dinner
Some ingrediance I did not think would be in this school recipe include celery and marmite
Are you a marmite fan?

Afters will be home made treacle tart with home made custard

No. I don't like either of those ingredients.
I make a mean minced beef and onion pie.......my recipe does not include either of those things...it does have mustard and tomato ketchup in it though...and fresh or dried parsley....and I use red onions.
 
Are you sure your name is Mick, not Jamie.

deffo not I cant stand him.
I prefer the hairy bikers which I have met and have a signed book of there's
when it comes to cooking and eating the wife only likes very plain food
even pepper is a no no to her
so home made curry etc is down to me:D

Never heard of the Hairy Bikers Mick, the name does not impress me, but Jamie's no slouch when it comes to cooking up a treat.
