School dinners: old style Vs new style; discuss.

[degsy]

Due to age I'm strictly a supporter of the old style dinners, were they cost a shilling and you had the same meal on the same day.
And not a chip or chicken nugget to be seen
Except for Friday where it was fish one week cheese pie the next, even in ' heathen ' proddy schools.

I used to HATE that cheese pie *shudders

Was best in the final year in high school. Last sitting. Guaranteed second helpings

All the food was cooked in the kitchens. Not pre-prepared as they are now in my lads school

School fish fingers were always the best.

I miss the old school sausages and peas

Oh sit down 'dinners'.

How posh.

And Dinner is the meal at the end of the day, Lunch is what you have at 'Lunchtime'.

Ha, I had that when i was at All Saints as well, or chips, gravy and sausage roll. Plus the hot blackcurrant drink

Kids get a menu, now. We had two choices. Dinner.or none ffs

 

[Big Fat Sam]

I can't even remember what we used to have.

Oh wait, I was on packed lunches, that's why.

Me ma used to send me off with some sandwiches, usually cheese or ham or something fancy like that, a pack of mini Cheddars, some sort of sweet / chocolate and probably a yoghurt.

Probably healthy lunch, like.

I imagine nowadays it's all about tortillas and fruit cocktails.

 

[chrissyjack]

Some schools won't let kids have crisps or choccy biscuits in packed lunches

I remember going into upper school in year 9 we had chcocolate and fizzy drinks machines and could get turkey twizzlers in a roll and chicken nuggets. ****ing ace.


Then they made it ****e, simple as.

No, Dinner is the meal in the middle of the day. Tea is the evening meal.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

The age old conundrum of lunch/dinner/tea.

For me, lunch and dinner are interchangeable, and tea is the evening meal, as toffee-fellaini says.
