Our Cook (always with an upper-case 'C') fed us well. She was a most imposing Mancunian lady who believed firmly in feeding us well. <br />Breakfast was porridge or cereal with golden syrup or sugar as the case may be, followed by scrambled eggs and bacon or sausage or just on fried bread. Lunch was a single-plate meal, almost always meat (cold, hot, stewed, fried) with potatoes, a green veg and lashings of gravy.<br />Dinner always started with a soup that was thick enough to stand a fork up in, the the main meal was meat (stewed, fried or roasted), potatoes (mashed, roasted, chipped or boiled) with more greens.<br />We wolfed everything down! Each table of twelve boys was limited to two loaves of bread per meal, each door-stop was lathered in butter.<br />And we all lost weight whilst at boarding school! Why? Because we were so bloody active, sports, gym or just walking about. We were never still in our free time.Steve Brownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-22408006925748490482009-03-29T17:47:00.000+01:002009-03-29T17:47:00.000+01:00And so schoolkids look at their compulsory plate o...And so schoolkids look at their compulsory plate of vile Jamie Oliver filth, decide it is inedible and either throw it away or throw it over the "dinner ladies" - sorry, politically incorrect term, "school meal operatives" or whatever.<BR/><BR/>The result being kids left unfed between breakfast and teatime.

If flush, the half a loaf could be supplimented with Jam or Marmite though the usual practise was to carve out the fleshy dough within the bread and chuck it at whoever seemed worthy at the time.bannedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02406037760273820029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-78319456542503853292009-03-27T20:03:00.000+00:002009-03-27T20:03:00.000+00:00They will find that there will be no kids taking s...They will find that there will be no kids taking school meals and all of them will either be having packed lunch or going to the 'chippy'<BR/>What then ?
