Funny how we all survived the so called junk food at school. But not having been a pupil for 50+ years I'm not familiar with canteens @ schools now. I suspect that many have taken the option of muck Donald's, Colonel Slander's, Red Pukester & such like franchises. Our lunches consisted of roast meats, mashed potatoes & 2 vegetables followed by a cooked desert & custard or rice pudding & jam. . . All foodstuffs that were basic English , Scottish & Irish staples eaten for centuries.

@FrayedBear Our school dinners were worth eating. Like you said, meat 2 veg etc. but nowadays it is more likely to be turkey twislers. (Whatever they are) Oliver maintained that academic performance could be significantly improved by having at least one decent meal a day. He put his money and time into showing how this could be done without increasing the budget too much. He did face a lot of opposition from dinner ladies who had to cook instead of reheat, salad-dodger kids and salad-dodger kids mums.

@273kelvin Thank who for declining eating standards? Whereas in our day the school cooks where probably competent mothers & basically trained women our wonderful new age society required university trained impractical gooks influenced by laziness, recreational drugs & big business.

Uncle Roger is great.

He has a pop at Gordon Ramsey occasionally too.

His Chinese social media accounts were suspended recently, for violating “….relevant laws and regulations."
