What foods do you miss from your school dinners?

I used to love Cheese Whirls and Turkey Twizzlers! Damn you Jamie Oliver!

There and to the left a bit

"Pink Custard"

Blimey that's taken me back...at my junior school they used to chill it overnight and serve it as a standalone mousse/blancmange kind of thing the next day too!!

For some reason though the school dinner that sticks in my memory is sausage, chips and beans at Secondary School...followed by a small block of ice cream wrapped in paper.

My secondary school did a cracking sausage roll. Primary school I had packed lunches. I don't think I ate lunch for the whole of y10&11 because I saved my dinner money to spend on going out at the weekend.
