There must've been loads of schools in Edinburgh with identical menus back in the day. Doughnut and jam sauce was probably 3rd favourite dessert at our primary. At our primary a P7 "server" would go to the hatch and get a tray with food for 8 people and then serve 7 younger kids by dividing it out. With certain meals you could skim a fraction off each portion and end up with a massive helping for yourself. I remember once nobody else wanted cabbage (veggies were very much the devil's work to a kid in those days) so I got the whole tray of 8 servings to myself. **** knows how or why I managed to eat it all myself. Back on topic - rhubarb crumble and custard for me, with an honourable mention for a proper cheesecake. I hated that, doughnut with a vile red sauce. Your school had the same set up as mine...

That and the the one with the caramel and chocolate sprinkles, or the stuff with syrupy cornflakes on top. All with custard, of course. Did your school make chocolate custard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otterjohn Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 We used to get something called Chiselcake at school for pudding I'm sure it was like a Chocolate Rice Crispie cake served with chocolate custard I was lucky to go to Murrayburn Primary school in the early 60s School dinners were made there.The food was fantastic. I was (sob sob)the only kid in school entitled to free dinners. The very kindly dinner lady used to look out for me at playtime with lots of leftovers. Believe it or not she turned out to be one of my Mother in laws best pals and I made sure she was well looked after with family meals on a Sunday.
