Re: hot breakfasts
Stop it, MV - I'm supposed to be on a diet.... I still put marmalade on my fried bread ( when my Mum makes it...), to the total disgust of the whole family ! Don't forget the fish fingers and the cooked-to-death sausages... I can still drink out of a bowl the Hertford way - my daughter is dead jealous, she always manages to burn her fingers ...All in all, I think we were fed fairly well, don't you ?englishangel wrote:Obviously dropped off since my time. We had a hot breakfast every day.
Deep fried bread, which we spread marmalade on!!
Powdered scrambled egg.
Boiled egg.
Bacon (the fattiest they could find I think)
And drinking tea out of bowls!!

Re: hot breakfasts

I think we were fed very well, except for Monday mince which I know was a favourite of yours.
BTW why Euterpe?

Monday mince - you do remember the day the whole school refused to eat it, don't you ? Aunty Dot was convinced that it started with the UIV - never guessed that it was her dear UVI ( except, natch the HG and her cronies) who thought it up.... after that we got " variations on mince" and HP sauce & ketchup for breakfast...still tasted like cardboard, only curried this time...

And it had sultanas in.
Both my husband and I can now cook a mean curry.

Not sure , it was dear Lindsay, I think - Christine Porter was one of DRs prefects, can't remember the others
Judy Evans was the same year as Christine, the year above you. Did Christine stay on to do Oxbridge?

Food Strike
I thought Ros. Bush was Head Girl. I remember the strike...loved it ! The Monday mince was so vile ! After, it was indeed curried with big lumps of strawberry jam in it.....I liked it.
Yeah...we got sauce ( to drown the taste ) after the strike.Who remembers Entwhistle sauce or Oswhistle or something... a strange brown concoction that I've never seen in the shops. After the strike, we also got bread rolls with butter and cheese slices.
The food was ok. Marmalade on fried bread ..yum. Sunday breakfast was in house.We had cold ham with a kind of greenish sheen.
There were the old school kitchen mishaps ; a sink plug and the odd fag end in the cabbage. Frequent slugs in the lettuce and I vaguely remember a dead swarm of flying ants in the semolina....? I loved the salad with that kind of home made dressing in jugs.
Who remembers veg. pie ? I liked that too. Am I odd ? I was ( still am) the skinniest creature. Nobody could ever believe the vast quantities I devoured.mmmm Those individual steak and kidney pies were nice too.
Deserts....well, there was "stodge"...was that steamed jam pudding ?......and the only dicks around the Girls school were indeed "spotted". Apple pie with "toenails". What else?
I also remember big wedges of cheddar cheese...quite strong...but I don't remember when we had it.
Sometimes I went on "midnight walks" (strictly forbidden ) and would creep around the school kitchens with my cronies ( very creepy in the dark ,with a distinctive smell ) looking for food. We never normally went there so it was very exciting. We would also go for a dip in the swimming pool . Never got caught.

Salad dressing
Dressing on salads-you haven't lived until you try the standard (ie every)
Sunday lunch between 1944 and 1952. Corned beef, plain boiled potato and winter salad- chopped cabbage,celery and beetroot- with no dressing and no taste.
Still we all survived and I did enjoy the economy lunch when rations were short. Very thick soup with a dollop of mash, followed by squashed flies.
Is there anyone out there from my dates?
