What was the smell of school dinners ?

[Mesquite]

My internal delight of school dinners was when we had puddings that were served with custard. They used to make it jugs before the meal that then sat developing a gorgeous thick skin which was scooped off a put in a bowl to one side.

Much to the dinner ladies consternation I always asked for the skin bowl which I got sheer bliss

Sometimes we would get custard pie. Not egg custard but a huge tray bake pastry base, a layer of jam and a thick set layer of double strength custard with skin on every slice.

Tapioca is awesome.

(Never mind it resembles frogspawn)

I still love custard skin - but rarely see it now that I have basically given up deserts ....

I loved it when they did the big tray bakes
Everything from mince in pastry to apple sponge. They often did rice pudding in the ovens too. Cleared space on the cooker rings for all those veggies boiling

Tapioca is awesome.

I think of sago as being like frogspawn and tapioca as sort of wee jelly beads.

Since I stopped going to the pub two or three nights a week, I've spent a great many evenings cooking weird, wonderful and occasionally exotic meals. The one thing I have a real problem with is desserts, I'm not really fond of them. I do however love custard. I've made custards from every continent!

Can I have a translation please, even AIs were fighting over the meaning.

Ming = mank = poxy
