Re: Do You Ever Cook Yourself A ‘School Dinner’?
We all took our own lunches to school Artangel. There was no such thing as a school lunch.My dad used to make our sandwiches for lunch. Some of the best Sarmie’s I’ve ever had. I miss him so very much. He was a great hardworking dad! Best daddy in the world!

Re: Do You Ever Cook Yourself A ‘School Dinner’?
I used to make a variation of the steamed jam roly-poly pudding when the grandkids used to stay. My version was a baked treacle roll which is basically a suet pastry rolled out thinly, some warmed treacle spread across the pastry and fresh breadcrumbs sprinkled all over. The whole thing was then rolled up, Swiss Roll style, placed on a baking sheet and cooked until well risen and brown and crispy on the outside. The treacle was soaked up by the breadcrumbs during the cooking process to make a nice thick treacly layer. Served with thick custard.I'm hungry now.

Tomatoes aren’t the best thing to have in your sandwiches. They sort of acquire a different taste and texture after so many hours between two slices of bread and butter!

Judd, I always get the impression you’re a good cook. Are you self taught?

Re: Do You Ever Cook Yourself A ‘School Dinner’?
I was thinking of more school puddings l didn’t like then....Tapioca, semolina, ?sago?, coconut cake type puddings, stewed prunes, stewed plums, anything with dried fruit. Yet, l eat plums and custard now but l can’t eat them fresh. I can also eat things with dried fruit in them now.
I can’t remember which pudding was ‘frog spawn’?
