School Canteen (tuckshop) Favourites

March 29th 2010 03:50
Twisties
Chicken or Cheese?
Remember the good old days when school canteens (or tuckshops) had a plethora of stuff that wasn't necessarily good for you?

In a world besotted by carrot sticks, frozen orange quarters and tofu on a stick (well perhaps not quite tofu on a stick) - there was a time believe it or not when cream buns, doughnuts and just about any conceivable stick condiment was available from 8am through to lunch-time.


From paddlepops to meat pies, chocolate bread to chips, twisties (yes cheese and chicken) and my personal favourite 'Happy Snax'.

In the main, I guess all (or most) of the 'good stuff' has vanished or has it?

So, did you have a school canteen favourite?

Apricot frozen yoghurt, just about every day in primary school, though sometimes I'd mix it up with the strawberry one... also the liquorice sticks they sold were great too.

High school it was all about the Maxibons, and I'd have two cans of Coke a day when they started selling those! It stopped us all from nicking off down to the shops instead, though it was definitely not good for our teeth. I strongly suspect Coke will have been banned from my old school by now... sign of the times.

My favourite was paddle pops. But I would like to say that even though there was a lot of "bad food" in the tuck shop, we were a lot more limited then about what we could buy (less money and more discipline).

These things were "treats" once. Even opening the fridge at home was guarded.

I am such an oldie aren't I?

Sausage roll and sauce - YUMMMMMMM

And I can't remember their name - was it a frosty boy - they were shaped like a diamond and had frozen juice in them
