They Fed British Kids THIS at School… (You Won’t Believe It)

Step back into the Great British School Dinner — the most ambitious hot meal program in British history, and one of the most extraordinary food cultures an entire generation grew up inside. From spotted dick and semolina to Spam fritters and jam roly-poly — this documentary explores the strange, nostalgic, and utterly unique world of the British school dinner, from the 1950s through the 1980s, and the dinner ladies who made it all happen. Discover why the old school dinner disappeared, what the government decision in 1980 really meant, and why millions of British people still talk about school custard with a fondness completely disproportionate to how it actually tasted. 🍮 What was YOUR school dinner?
