Counterexample: spam fritters. Those and badly cooked ox liver were the two worst school dinners I ever had to force down (Brit, 1970s)
- jamiek88 2y agoUgh yeah and semolina for pudding. I can barely even say the word semolina without gagging. And no, Miss, the jam splotch on top only makes it worse.
- AlexandrB 2y agoSemolina porridge is great if prepared perfectly, but if it has clumps the texture is absolutely awful.
- martinpw 2y agoI didn't eat semolina for literally decades after the UK school dinner experience. When I finally had some that was properly prepared it was delicious. Who knew. And the spam fritters - that is a nightmare I had totally suppressed until it was just mentioned up above.
- KineticLensman 2y ago> that is a nightmare I had totally suppressed until it was just mentioned up above Sorry! Perhaps I can defuse the situation a little bit by mentioning the hard brown tiles (of shortbread?) with the pink 'custard'. These weren't nauseating, just merely inedible.

- zabzonk 2y agoI remember being called in to make my screaming little brother (he was 5 to my 9) eat this horrible crap. My brotherly advice - "Eat it or I will kill you". Frankly, it didn't work, and I could hardly eat the stuff myself.
