    Swede was the one thing I couldn't eat from school dinners back in the sixties.

    I feel sick now thinking and remembering the smell and the taste as I type this.

    Small portion of bubble on Boxing Day as well as a jacket and then larger portions of bubble as the week goes on.

    It's mash with cold meat and pickles on Boxing Day - anything else is just wrong.

    Liver

    Do you like liver now i.e. liver & bacon?
    No mate. It’s sits firmly in the list of food I can’t even look at: Beetroot, Lamb and Prawns.
    Beetroot, Lamb, Prawns & Liver................whats up with you, now I know you are a wrong un :smile:
    guilty as charged.

    Witchettey grub and Kangaroo penis, but then I was raised by the Leealowa tribe of the Northern Territory...

    Once the club is taken over by the Aussies all you will only be able to get is kangaroo cock and fosters. Thinking about it, we might as well relocate to Cockfosters.

    Too bloody right. Lamb with mint sauce is one of life's great pleasures.

    My school did a vile purple blancmange that everyone hated. I got into trouble for tipping the entire table’s worth of the stuff behind the nearest radiator. I had no idea where behind the radiator went, it just meant the horrible stuff wasn’t on our plates.
    ( as an interesting aside the vile purple blancmange eventually had a cameo tv role as an alien in Lost In Space a couple of years later)
