Thanks to Helena for giving me the idea for this post. these menus are rotated on a four week cycle so the choices are not the same every week. We have come a long way.Īn example of a week’s menu in a primary school. Today’s school dinners here in the UK are free to all children up to the age of seven and are tasty and well-balanced, Even more importantly – there are choices. I didn’t touch prunes for many years after I left school, they’re still not top of my list! Sometimes they were served with a spoonful of stewed prunes. If you were lucky you got a spoonful of jam to stir into your pudding which turned it pink and made it a bit more palatable. There was semolina, sago, tapioca, ground rice, rice and macaroni.

We all received a bottle of milk a day (third of a pint) and this could be delightful in winter when really cold and pretty disgusting when it had been sitting outside in the crates all morning in summer sun! It was the complete lack of choice and the obligation to clear your plate which was the downside. I think this is why so many people of my age in Britain have bad memories of school dinners. No alternatives and you absolutely had to eat what was put on your plate. One main course (dinner), one dessert (pudding). If you had school dinners there was one choice. ![]() There was not an option to bring your own packed lunch. If you lived near school you could go home for your midday meal.
