A new exhibition in Suffolk showcases mixed memories of school dinners, focusing on the nostalgic experiences of former pupils. Recollections range from distasteful dishes, like a greyish pudding described by Peggy Murphy, to delightful favorites, such as treacle sponge and pink custard, cherished by Zahida Khan. The stories reveal how school meals have shaped personal memories, highlighting both the unappetizing and enjoyable aspects of lunchtime fare. The exhibition aims to capture the essence of these formative culinary experiences in school dining environments.
"It looked horrible, tasted horrible, it was hard and awful - my friends and I still reminisce about it," she says about a notorious pudding.
"I loved my school dinners... We had tapioca, semolina, treacle sponge pudding, as well as jam roly-poly, cake with icing and sprinkles," says Zahida Khan.
