I have in my possession a 1968 School dinners issue recipe book. Admittedly, they are for 100 portions but they will reduce! If anyone has a yen for something last tried in school, I have a recipe for it. Feel free to post requests here!

Grissle and kidney pie

My mum was one of the dinner ladies for a couple of years at the school
my brother and l went to
After school we would go round to the kitchen and wait for her to finish
work
Bet you cant guess what we used to have for dinner, thats right the same
shite we had at lunch time
Things did improve when she got a job in the chip shop

Sounds like it wasn't cooked properly. Shameful.

Gristle can be an essential ingredient of some dishes , adding flavour and texture.

Tommorrow night I shall be eating a beef stew. I get shin from my butcher that's got plenty of gristle streaks in it. Simmer with veg for a couple of hours, then in the fridge for a day (so it's there now). Reheat for dinner tomorrow. The reheating adds flavour. You get an additional dish too: Soup.
