Beef that tasted like fish; it was only years later when the mad cow disease outbreack struck and the practice of feeding fish meal to cows was considered to be one possible cause, that this made sense (well, to me at least). |

The daily lunchtime smell of boiling cabbage as well as being 'persuaded' to eat Semolina (that all the kids used to call frogs spawn) have scarred me for life.
For this pleasure I believe my parents forked out half crown daily. Milk was free if you wanted in half pint bottles. |

Hated school dinners the smell of the food cooking in the kitchen used to make me retch, primary school was virtually next door so went home for dinners, always took sandwiches when I was at big school the whole school dinners experience has put me off eating out for life I hate eating off plates that arnt my own another hate is unclean cutlery, I’m even more put off now since I have coeliac disease and worry about cross contamination of food, hated school milk because it was always warm, always remember a kid sticking the plastic straw right up his nose it went right up and they couldn’t get it out was a traumatic sight for a 5year old kids to see , hospital job to get it out 50yrs ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday |

Depends on where you grew up.

My Dad remarried when I was 19 to a woman who worked in the kitchen at the primary school I had attended years earlier. She told me the Head cook and her deputy had a nice little earner with the suppliers where all the food supplies were replaced for the absolute cheapest they could source compared to what had been paid for by the LEA and the difference pocketed.

I had school dinners in years 3 & 4 before UPGRADING to packed lunch in years 5 & 6.
From what I can remember I had a cheese flan which was passable, but I'm just getting recurring images of runny mashed potato with piss-weak Tesco-tier gravy making the dish look like you're carrying a plate of hot diarrhoea. |

Was on free school dinners all the way through school, bloody loved them!
Cornish Pasty Pie, Stew & Dumplings, Chicken Pie, Cornflake tart, Chocolate Toothpaste…
Thankfully way before the turkey twizzlers & now all food bland as cardboard due to health guidelines. |
