What was the meat served during lunch, it was grey in colour and always seemed to have bits of tubes in it.?*
Had a chat with a old friend and we both wondered?*
*He said stingy bits I recall tubes?

Not eggy but kinda lumpy cheesy
Yum! I used to love that.. Also used to love chocolate concrete with mint custard mmmmmmm delicious
But I really don't remember any horrible grey meat with tubes in it. Thank God. It sounds disgusting! :eek:
The tubes are actually blood vessels. You find larger blood vessels in tougher (and therefore cheaper) cuts of meat - since those cuts in a live animal do more work and therefore need a better blood supply.
it was great
you could go up for 2nds and 3rds
liver is just wrong though
I went to boarding school so I had school dinners forced upon me. Fried food and stodge galore.
Remember the matching lunchbox and flask combos, mine was Holly Hobbie I think.
Can't remember the meat, maybe I've blocked out the memory:(.
They were all the rage.
I used to love the mock cream which was normally on a jelly or angel delight pudding. We also had treacle tart a lot with crunchy cornflakes on the top, often with custard you could stand a spoon up in.
The main meal was normally chips and something, like a pizza slice or meat pie.
When I had school dinners in the 1940s, battered Spam would have been considered a great luxury.
Spam fritters.
My local chippy has recently added spam fritters to its menu. 50p each.
I dont remember anything with tubes. Fat and gristle and stringy. All the meat was grey. So was the fish come to think of it.
