I remember a pretty awful pudding which consisted of shortcrust pastry topped with a stingy spread of strawberry jam and cornflakes - it was only possible to swallow it with liberal quantities of custard.
School dinners... share your memories :)

I remember various sponge puddings with traditional custard or pink custard which I loved.
There was a nice dessert made with condensed milk and toffee on a thin pastry base. I think it was called Toffee Cream actually.
I remember we used to have huge trays (one per octagonal table) of winter salad. That was various salad stuff like grated carrot, beetroot, salad onions and so on all in rows. We always used to have fried potato skins with that. That was the nearest we ever got to proper chips.
I also used to like cheese and potato pie.

Shortcake with fruit salad and a dolop of whipped cream
Semolina with grated chocolate in the middle
Rice pudding

Those were the days!!

Anyone remember jelly fluff? Used to get given this a lot at JMI school. Was jelly with a kind of fluffy mouse on it and cream poured over it. Remember it like it was yesterday...
Crinkle cut chips and steak pie and peas.
Followed by custard tart and ice cream.
I remember going to eat some lettuce and just before I was going to put it in my mouth I noticed a big slug in it.
Mentally scarred for the rest of my life.

Aluminium coloured jugs for water and custard - they were pink, gold, silver and turquoise, and Duralex glass tumblers
Lovely roast dinners with roast potatoes
Cheese pie and chips
Chocolate square sponge with pink sauce, apple crumble, semolina and jam, rice pudding and prunes
And we had to say this prayer standing behind our chair before we sat down at primary school meals !
Be present at our table Lord, Be here and everywhere adored,
Thy creatures bless, and grant that we,
May feast in Paradise with thee, Amen
