Has now gone ape. The counter can't keep up. I'm hoping she gets to 5 million by the end of today.

doesn't look very appetising i must say.

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

No I know. I think that's why it was shut down in the first place, though happily that decision has now been overturned.

I remember school dinners being as bad, thank heaven there was an alternative, the local cafe.

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Mine were lovely at primary school but it all went downhill from there. We used to bunk off to the local chippy.

[tonyav]

Our school dinners were rubbish, so by secondry school age it was the chippy for me mainly.

[emmie]

a friend of the family worked in a local cafe, so it was handy..

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

I used to love going back for extra bowls of custard.

[emmie]

i confess that custard and i never really hit it off, but i am beginning to revise my opinion slightly.. as long as something like chocolate goes in it.
as a treat mind you.

Think im the only person ever who liked and still does like school dinners!

About 15 years ago I had a part time job in a primary school canteen, and put on crap loads of weight as i was eating all the leftovers- they were delicious!

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

One of my favourite puddings was the jamy sponge with coconut on top.
Also, to this day I have never been able to find the recipe for the chocolate pie they used to serve. It had a mousse-like filling and had a swirl of something resembling cream on the top.

I just read the whole thing - what a lovely, bright wee girl! I must confess to having a bit of a tear in my eye at her last entry, but hopefully she'll be posting again since the ban has been lifted. She's raised an awful lot of money for a nine year old - and for such a good cause. Good on you Martha!

[Kiki-frog]

Good god - that pic in the BBC article is appalling. How can they possible serve that up to children?! Because most of them will at least attempt to eat it I suppose.

[ummmm]

B00, I liked school dinners as well.

Chocolate sponge cake with chocolate-flavoured 'custard'. To this day, I can remember how grim that was...and they also used to serve a meat and potato dish that used to test my gag reflex every time I ate it.

Not sure what the meat was exactly...probably some poor beast who came a cropper at Beeches Brook...

[LochNessMonster]

I used to get monster portions at school dinners as well as a few seats to sit on.
