We got really good, homemade school dinners in the 70s plus the morning milk. Sorry for the rubbish children get today on their plastic trays. I still enjoy chocolate concrete and cornflake tart!
I loved cheese pie no matter how I make it at home I cannot get the taste I remember, I loved all the puddings except egg custard my favourite and still now is Bakewell tart
Seems they could all use a knife and fork in the correct way. You don’t see that often with school kids now. They almost all start primary school not knowing how to use a knife and fork at all.
In Soviet schools back in the 70s children would get the following variety of dishes in the school canteen: - Milk porridge with short noodles - "Tall" omelette (baked with flour, to make it rise) - Small pancakes with jam or powidl - farmer´s cheese cake - cottage cheese pancakes - sweet buns - milk biscuits - Fish in marinade (on Thursday, Thursday was "the fish day") - Vinaigrette - Vegetable salad - Fish cultets - Beef and pork cutlets - Hot soups (cabbage soup or Shchi, Borsht, pea soup with beef or chicken, noodle soup with chicken) - Stewed cabbage with sausages - Mash with gravy - Buckwheat - Rice - Macaroni - Beef goulash - Drinks: kompot (fruit and berries), juices (peach, tomato, apple), tea, coffee
I think ours might have been aluminium (eek) - they were very lightweight and I'm not sure whether it's just me, but I recall they gave water an interesting flavour!
@@jeanmatthews3899 so does that mean it’s NEVER had any sound here on RUclips and 17,000 other people have been disappointed like me? It strikes me that, with no soundtrack, this is utterly pointless!
this is obviously a private school, children in uniforms in the 70's was private or parochial school. That being said, ofcourse they were served great meals and they are eating on actual dishes using real utensils not plastic. Public schools didn't have it this good. Plus in private schools , lunch is included in the tuition. Some public school students didn't eat back in the day if they didn't have lunch money.
@@joolsner oh stop it..just be nice..I'm twiggered..just pretend alls OK...la la la..that's what you are like. 'Just give it a break'..says it all really.
the demographic statement didn't need to be stated. However..... I will say that this isn't exactly what was being served in public schools in the 70's ( I am a product of that generation) we weren't eating on real dishes and using real utensils but yes the food was better , not frozen or prepackaged.

We still had cornflake tart in the 90's and 2000's! I'm 28 and cornflake tart was my absolute favourite dessert at school.
I'm guessing it's a Friday as they're eating fish and chips. We were only served chips on Fridays. Good, wholesome nosh every day of the week!
The day when you had salt and vinegar on the table and a jug of water no one said anything. What went wrong ? .Happier days.
Looked like Fish Friday! And Lemon meringue pie.
Happy days.

That’s how the British eat
Totally agree 100%
What do you expect they are ani animals no manners at all
There food looks better than the food I had at my school 😢

Child of the ]70's, I started school in 1973. Brought back lots of memories, even down to the smells.
Same. The dinners were great and the puddings.

@@sorryrocco different stuff for different week days
@@dodgro8342 hahaha i lnow i was messing
@@dodgro8342 im telling you, the fish and chips on the film is propaganda, we never got stuff like that.
@@sorryrocco what did you really get?
Fish & Chips with garden peas.
How did you know ?
I was wondering and that sounds about right.
School kids today bring their own lunches with them unlike in the past when the dinner and afters were given to you in school 🤔
What lovely little White children well- behaved. Better back then. 😊
Parents never ate with one hand and wiped with the other and didn't wash with soap
Copper water cups and water jug?
I think ours might have been aluminium (eek) - they were very lightweight and I'm not sure whether it's just me, but I recall they gave water an interesting flavour!
@@eh6454 Were they silver?
@@sl4983 from memory, they came in several colours 🙂
Ours were ridged plastic clear jugs and beakers.
Why is there no sound with this - and no explanation about that?
probably because it's unused
I don’t know about unused….? It’s had 17K views!

I went to a state school and we had a uniform.
it's britain - nearly all schools have/had uniforms
Notice the demographic? The country is better now isn't it?...hmm?
Oh just give it a break.
