"Remember Porridge with the skin on top on a ice cold morning before school(that's a good memory) do kids eat porridge for breakfast now ?"
I went to 2 different boarding schools. At the first one we had porridge Mon-Sat and cereal on a Sunday, then at the second one it was the other way round, cereal Mon-Sat and porridge on a Sunday.
Used to love it when they did kippers as quite a few didn't like them so I eat theirs   |

Porridge is a favorite of mine, especially with dried or fresh fruit. Great for keeping your cholesterol levels low.  |

"Liver at school 
Liver onions mash and peas in a lovely gravy is heaven...and costs next to nothing "
There's a very good reason it costs next to nothing, I'm assuming offal is cheap as well for the same reason  |

Cornflake cake. Not the inferior one that's covered in chocolate but the one with a pastry bottom, jam and a golden syrup topped cornflakes with custard, mmmm. You can still buy this in the Birmingham indoor market, the only place we've seen it sold. |

"Arctic roll  "
When birds eye were based in Eastbourne they used to make it here my mum and dad met as students in the artic roll production line.
Tbh they've changed the recipe now and Morrisons version is much better. |

When we was kids my dad lined all four of us up and spoon fed us that horrid stuff out if a jar. It was vile. We had to have it once a week. Not a teaspoon either was a tablespoon of the stuff. I remember it being thick, dark and sticky like treacle but tasted nothing like it. |

"Liver at school
Liver onions mash and peas in a lovely gravy is heaven...and costs next to nothing
There's a very good reason it costs next to nothing, I'm assuming offal is cheap as well for the same reason "
For what reason Because you don't like?
It would not be the fact that it is very nutritious full of iron and tastes fabulous to me. But you don't like it |

Now on the kidney I will agree its too chewy and spoils a good steak pie. But even though it is chewy its nowhere near a iron bar |
