school dinners went to shit years ago when nutritionists got involved and their answer was to remove all seasonings and therefore taste. My late mam was a dinner lady - she was appalled at how food waster shot up as kids no longer liked it and even the dinner ladies who could "enjoy" their lunch with the unserved left overs in a post service get together. Food was tasteless and they all put their coats on and went home for their lunch which broke the team ethic ( important in kitchens ).
Also I love liver - mum did braised liver and bacon to die for. Most people who hate liver cite having it at school as their reason. At school it was a dry leather shoe soul you were served so I can see why.
I was in high school when Jamie Oliver ruined school dinners, they started serving chips without any salt who wants that, banned fizzy drinks and chocolate so I saw an opening as a young entrepreneur and would sell 15 cans a day and a bar of chocolate for a quid a pop haha. In primary school I had 2nds and 3rds some days easily, was never fat. His fight was with the wrong place it was at home where food went to shite and was super unhealthy.
