shortliner Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Roast heart stuffed with sausage-meat - mmmmmm! Yummy! We can still buy Spam Fritters in our local supermarkets - usually find them in the chilled food cabinet. They are good occasionaly 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted October 22, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2014 Did you have to ask for the skin? That was traditional when I went to skool...er....that must be...er...let me think....er...um....oh, yes, a lifetime ago....and chocolate pudding and chocolate custard was a favourite....and we used to fight (i.e., who wielded the greatest charm over the dinner ladies - well, something like that!) to get a decent portion of skin especially if you were lucky enough to be at the front of the queue. Not sure I'd want chocolate custard now, though, but a supply of B'rds regular custard is kept in the cupboard - not keen on the instant stuff, though it is handy if you're short on milk. Polly I always won the battle for the skin - my mum was the dinner lady. Quick short story. I was going to leave but now I'm not - if anyone wants more info PM me and I'll tell you the details. Have a good day all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurenceb Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I think the only offal I recall at school was liver. I suspect other offal was disguised as faggots or rissoles. My grandfather (the crazy one) always used to have two lambs brains on toast for his evening meal on Mondays. Tony To this day I cannot eat liver school liver - grey sawdust uch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I am getting stronger, slowly. With physical assistance I am able to walk to the dining room. The care and attention of the staff to residents is unbelievably outstanading The catering is First Class! Glad to hear you're making good progress Don Thanks for the input and support, folks. Lucy was found abandoned and with one of her puppies. How sad horrible what some people will do to animals. I'm very much of the opinion that animals can no more consent than a child could, perhaps less so, so punishments for animal cruelty should be much much harder. But, glad Lucy has found a loving home, that there are people who'll take in rescue animals and give them the love they need is wonderful imo Southern EMUs...excellent choice. Oh for a 4-COR though in RTR form for some instant gratification! I grew up with them going by either side of where my parents lived (near Dartford), but can only really admit to remembering the EPBs and later the Networkers. Current plan is for a small simple 2 track line (with level crossing and spur for wharf/docks) based upon the Woolwich Dockyard area, set around the time of the Networkers being introduced. So currently making a stab at a 4EPB to go with the Hornby 466 and Bachmann 2EPB I have, then to think of relevant freight. The plan is to make it modular (with baseboards built by Tim Horn) and all fixtures (where possible) removable to make storage easier (1bedroom ground floor flat presents problems in that regard!) and to allow changing of line/era for extra interest, ie going back to the 3/4SUB and steam, though obviously with fixed 3rd rail it limits how far back it can go. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr Giffard LSWR 1951-71 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Aft'noon all, Following hard on the heels of our Ofsted is the SIAMS inspection of our church school. This takes place tomorrow and will involve a quick dash from work...an even quicker run through the shower/change of clothes and hurrying to school to meet with the inspector. We are in interregnum just now, which adds more pressure to those with church/school link functions due to the lack of a priest figure. Thankfully a solid Ofsted result builds on good relationships between school and church to make a positive outcome much more likely. Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to leave but now I'm not - if anyone wants more info PM me and I'll tell you the details. Have a good day all. My Mum was a dinner lady, too, but I don't remember her on custard duty. She then went to the local senior school but when I went there, she had to leave - no family members (favouritism) allowed or whatever the excuse was. Trouble was, all the other dinner ladies knew me so I was spoilt at dinner time, anyway. Talking about dinner, better get going on ours.

RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted October 22, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 22, 2014 My Mum was a dinner lady when I was at infant school I don't recall special treatment at dinner times though. When I gave blood I was younger, fitter and not taking tablets so I don't think it made me any slimmer. Yesterdays collection was for my upcoming MOT I think......

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted October 22, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2014 Readers whom are known to prefer minimal wastage of foodstuffs, will be pleased to know that the latest batch of apples(as was the last lot) once processed, had the skins and cores stewed, the juices drained and they are now port apple jelly and cinnamon apple jelly. On the way back from walking the dog, I found a tree belonging to a local farmer loaded with apples, and he doesn't want them (I asked him). I am now minded to process some of these over the next few days at is would be a shame for them to go to waste. The Obergrumpenfuhrer is off to Llandudno again tomorrow, and I've just been reminded to pick the last of the raspberries.(yellow variety). These too will be dried off, as they'll last so much longer and make a nice supplement to porage or meusli at breakfast time over the next few weeks. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted October 22, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 22, 2014 Now off to process some apples...............................that's core, skin and slice, then put them into the fruit dryer...............Not stuff them into my face whilst raw! Are you going to use them for anything on the recipe page? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edcayton Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 FWIW I hated, loathed and despised skool dinners, Put me off cheese and salad for life, and I remember the conversation with Mum every day: "What did you have for pudding?"----------"Cake and custard"-------------"Again?". There was also a concoction with corn flakes held together with Evo-stick. The absolute worst thing was scraping the left-overs into the pig-food bins using those plastic scrapers.

Sorry to disagree Ed They certainly put me off certain things for life. Rice pudding on a Wednesday. Though part of that was because of a sadistic housemaster who wouldn't give out small portions and delighted in forcing us to eat what he served.

Pete 75C Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I was going to leave but now I'm not - if anyone wants more info PM me and I'll tell you the details. I won't ask for the story because frankly it's none of my damn business but just to go on the record and say that I for one am rather glad you're not going anywhere. I'd certainly miss your pictures and not least your knowledge of all things East Anglian and railway-related. Whatever occurred, I'm sure it's not worth it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted October 22, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 22, 2014 Pete no I don't eat hearts - her indoors likes them (and I suspect sister drac lives on them.) But I do like liver, kidney, brawn etc ... but the thing I disliked most was "Semolina" -- you could turn the bowl with it in upside down and it didn't shift.. often used to "glue" things back together!! happy days! and tomorrow I am off to the great metrolops to be part of the Challenger 2 Project delivery reunion....... Hope East Coast Trains don't muck it up like last year! but i have managed to get First class both ways for a lot cheaper than standards class.... off to the Leeds MRS to "prepare" for this weekends show....

travelintrev Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Wasn't that semolina with little bubbles? No that was left over (proper) decorators wall paper paste! I only suffered school lunch for the first week at secondary skool.... point blank refused to eat . So ended up making my own sandwiches, but of course that caused row with the school authorities. As several of the "first year" followed suit!. Time best forgot ,school days were not the "happiest of my life" ! Trev 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
