This popped up on another forum and I thought it might bring back a few memories for some. You may need to click on it to enlarge it.

Great memories Manpa.
My memories of all that healthy school tucker are from 10 years prior to that list - same sort of goodies, but just a bit cheaper.
I had the job for a while of being the kid in the class who had to go and pick up the lunches at the tuckshop before the lunchtime rush and bring it all back to the classroom for collection by those who had pre-ordered. Of course I had to sample the occasional sausage roll or cake - only for quality control reasons and only those belonging to kids I didn't like. :lol:

I left school in 72. But that is only a short bike ride from my old high school at Sefton. :Y:

I still remember the pre-decimal days, where I would get weekly thrippence pocket money.
Could buy lots of lollies with that!

I used to love the fresh salad rolls at Dandenong High School on a Monday as we didn't get fresh bread at home on a Monday in Noble Park. Bread and ice appeared on our brick gate post on Tuesdays. :inlove: :goldnugget:

I saw Straws for 12 cents and thought that seemed a bit rich for a straw considering you could buy a sandwich for less. But I am guessing a Straw is not a straw that I am thinking of? Can one of you 'old' people enlighten me please?

Im pretty sure ( and someone correct me if Im wrong) that a straw was one of those long shaped like a straw things that were filled with sherbet/ wiz fiss ? Im not sure but I think you can still buy them! Either way I recon that they tasted

Year I got my first job LOL
"straw was one of those long shaped like a straw things that were filled with sherbet/ wiz fiss" Hmmmm, I do know what they are but surely you wouldn't fill a roll with that and eat it??? Maybe some would
Straws were long (~50mm) deep fried potato square cut (about twice the width of a match stick). Crisp all through. Bought processed in a packet like potato chips.

Nope, the straws you shoved in a bread roll were thin cut fries, potato straws,
I remember them well Pa, but haven't thought of them for at least 30 years :Y:
