Tripe - yeeaaargh....
My dad loved tripe poached in milk - me and my bro and sis hated it. But that's quite often what we got served up. Amazing the number of times I had to go to the loo during such a meal time...
Tripe- hell,yes, just looking at it turns me up. Fortunately we didn't eat it, but I wasn't allowed to be finicky about what I did eat.
I recall my one and only birthday party- food party that friends came to.
There was jelly, custard ,blancmange etc, but my mum was taken aback by one mate. All he wanted , and ate, were "syrup butties" ( Tate and Lyle syrup)?
someone finding it funny to post my last scorecard on the forum

I used to have syrup sandwiches, sugar sandwiches and black treacle sandwiches
At school once I was forced to finish the hairy runner beans on my plate - congealed in cold, lumpy gravy. I puked over them - they never pushed again!

Is that the app that e-mails Mrs Rooter and tells her to go and clean it?
Thats a brave app!

My mum was school cook primary then secondary. She got a new job as a School Meals Area organiser - when the kids at school found out they raised a petition asking her to stay - 600+ signaturesI used to have syrup sandwiches, sugar sandwiches and black treacle sandwiches

No rubbish food at my mum's schools.As an aside relating to another thread.
My mum's school meals area was Paisley and West Renfrewshire - for which she basically managed school meals from 1980 into late-1990s. For those who know the area they'll know that there are many towns and villages with high levels of deprivation. My mum saw a lot of poverty - Feegie Park is not yer most salubrious address...
She took it as her mission to ensure that the school dinners that her schools served up were the most attractive and nutritious that she could conjure up with the cooks within the budget. And she did that with a passion as she knew that, for many children, their school dinner might well be the only decent meal that they'd get each day.
I'm not sure she'd be very impressed by the food boxes that have been provided - though she'd tell me that you can do a lot of good nutritious stuff with a jacket potato

Agree, and then we will have all the idiots throwing COVID-infected snowballs at each other (he said grumpily).

Ah well - if you lived in West Renfrewshire then the cook must've been ignoring what my mum was telling her to cook (unless of course you went to school after late 90s) - you can take a horse to water...
Though I do recall my mum complaining how much harder it was to put together a decent dinner for the kids once the council had outsourced school lunches to the private sector...well who'dve guessed...

In my day the best thing about school lunches was the puddings, spotted dick (if you are allowed to mention it) jam roly poly, chocolate sponge and thick custard and sauces.

So here in tier 4 Lincolnshire, many people have decided to wait until today when there's 2-3 inches of snow on the ground to go shopping and it appears they have completely forgotten how to drive safely in snow. Accidents all over the shop.....and it's not dark yet

Mum tried to get kids weaned off chips - onto nice simple pasta dishes or jacket pots with healthier fillings. Stuff that was in the boxes as it happens.Knowing me, especially back then, it most likely it means there were too many vegetables and healthy stuff in the meals. It got better at secondary school - hot dogs and chips!

Millionaires chocolate short bread and custard was the only thing I liked
. Even though the custard could be supped through a straw, same as the Semolina and Tapioca, lumpy milk, frog spawn .Mince and tatties were the same
