Is it true that you feed your children with the junk they showed in the program? I hope not. Probably twisted information to make Britain look bad. gorth 8) 8) 8)

There is probably a lot of mileage in curing kids 'attitude problems' with the decent food route - but no-one seems to blowing that trumpet yet

I remember the lumpy school custard.Made me want to
throw up.Still hate custard.Enjoyed The lumpy frog spawn. The lumpy blancmonge was the best,thinking about it still brings bile to my throat.The rest was great but we had none of the stuff at school Jamie goes on about.
Generally with those exceptions it was nice food well cooked
and prepared.
