ROTHERHAM, England — Five months after the celebrity chef Jamie Oliver succeeded in cajoling, threatening and shaming the British government into banning junk food from its school cafeterias, many schools are learning that you can lead a child to a healthy lunch, but you can’t make him eat.
The fancy new menu at the Rawmarsh School here?
“It’s rubbish,” said Andreas Petrou, an 11th grader. Instead, en route to school recently, he was enjoying a north of England specialty known as a chip butty: a French-fries-and-butter sandwich doused in vinegar.
“We didn’t get a choice,” he said of the school food. “They just told us we were having it.”

Use a couple of "digestives" instead of bread, they cannot really be cosidered food so they shouldn't cause a glucose spike. :-)
"considered" someday I'll try spell check.
It's the spuds. High glycemic index.
I was just teasing a little. At any rate, it sounds better than what my dad called "jam sandwich". To make a jam sandwich, you take two slices of bread and you jam them together.
Ahhhhh, English cooking. I need to boil this some more, it still has flavour.
Nope. They're just gross.
yea, I know, just couldn't think of some disgusting English replacement for potatoes.

That's how my husband always described ALL of his mother's cooking, and like my mother, she was Irish!!!!!
Bad luck, I guess for coming across one of the few posters here who did grow up in that part of the world. :)

The other day I had a cool water sandwich
And a Sunday go to meeting bun
I watched the "Chefography" on her and was surprised to learn that Food Network had taped a few of her shows but were holding them. After 9/11, when America wanted comfort food they put the show on. She was an instant hit.
Her pot roast is a staple in my house now.
Ayckroyd's outside of Detroit makes awesome meat pies and bridies. We're too far for just a casual drive to get some, so they're a rare treat.
They look pretty...........
Turnips?

Nope, they call them neeps, not turnips.
Have you tried her mac and cheese? It's supposed to be yummy. I drool at everything she makes.
