poppyH Apr 2020 1:39pm, 28 Apr 2020 956 posts	0 poppyH I don't remember chocolate concrete, but proper flashbacks at the pink custard! Semolina with chocolate flakes, Jam sponge, lemon curd sponge chocolate sponge (with choc custard if you were lucky). Pink blancmange, hot jam tart. I have many more memories of pudding than savoury, but can still remember the smell of the hall when doing assembly/PE. The mix of sweaty children, and cooking fumes was very particular. I'll have a look at the book too.
