Hi Everyone,
Its been great reading all your emails about the good old days and what food
you used to be given to eat so I thought I'd just write and tell you a bit
about what we had at school.
I attended Lickey Grange School for the Blind which was situated just outside
Birmingham from 1957 to 1969 and, when I first arrived, I found some of the
meals very strange. For example, for tea, we were given a fried egg and a
portion of crisps, no, not chips, crisps! I used to have the crisps on a butty
and leave the egg as I didn't like it. We were also expected to eat Spam
Fritters which I also didn't like and, in fact, there was not much in those
days that I did enjoy about school meals. However, the most dreadful thing
was, during the winter, we had to take a dose of cod liver oil each morning and
all the infants and juniors would line up outside surgery to have a spoonful of
this awful stuff. the awful thing was that we all took it from the same spoon,
how gross is that?
I could tell you lots more about the weird stuff we were given to eat but think
that's about enough for now. If any of you went to the same school in those
days, you will certainly know what I mean and, if you didn't, you were very
lucky!
Kind regards to you all,
Lynn
