As I can recall there were two main types of pudding in the 1965-68 era that I ate in Primary school; one was a sponge pudding covered in custard - again, I have hated custard for over 30 years as a result! The sponge was tasteless and almost impossible to swallow as I recall, hence the copious amounts of the aforementioned custard. I never ate it, but there was always someone who would eat mine for me!
The other dessert was semolina ( spelling?), or 'frogs spawn' as we called it, with a little bit of jam in the middle. I hated that then and still do!
No, sorry, school dinners put me off a lot of thing unfortunately.
BTW. I am not a fussy eater today and will eat, or try, just about anything, but the thought of those school dinners seems to make me lose my appetite somewhat!
Of course this was back in the days when you still had free school milk, which I also hated, and still do...........hang on, I sense a pattern emerging here.....
