Did anyone have "Choppies" for school dinner?

[phil]

They were covered in breadcrumbs, have been looking out for them. anyone got the information?

[wheezer]

what is this "school" you speak of?

[pille'ocheoni]

im sure you brits had very differnt school lunches from us americans....i remeber pizza ,and more pizza, and more pizza. since ive been a vege my whole life, it was hard at school. but the cheese pizza was good, salad, and other slop oddities. i always made my own lunch. and the kids used to laugh at me for drinking soy and rice.

[Basic]

Do you mean the reconstitued ribs/grillsteak type things covered in breadcrumbs? They seem familiar, although I was a bit of a packed lunch type myself.

[phil]

yes basic they were choppies. do u like the word "choppie"?
i had packed lunch aswell. didnt have fucking school dinners everyday for christ sakes.

[pille'ocheoni]

did your brit schools have breakfast to, for the early arriving kids? you know, powdered eggs, shit toast, and oj

[Weishaupt]

we hasnt lunch breaks in our school...........early..when i was in the first school year i was the cacao-service............
everytime before a break i must run to the big door, where the cacao stands............

[Basic]

I'm indifferent to what they were called. I remember having these things forced on me at home whilst my folks went back to Uni during my teenage years. It was sorta stick these in the oven for 20 mins and voila. I hated them after a while, but it was that or starve!

Haha, the only peeps I know that were on school dinners everyday were the broken home kids.

I take my step-daughter into the breakfast club at her school. I think they get a bowl of cereals and some fruit and allows me and Tracy to get to work on time (you can drop them off 45 mins before school starts).

[phil]

school dinners ment i could have a sandwich for tea. and yeah i came from a broken home motherfucker, my dad is in Prison.

Why didn't you have schooldinners everyday then? You've done alright for yourself if you can figure out a computer coming from such a shit background then.

no insults on the board please

ähem..this is not a joke for me, mate!

[Basic]

The joke was that I used to think they got a better deal getting a hot meal guarenteed everyday. You used to see the shit I got served as a packed lunch and you would see why!

[darnymarfy]

nearly everything i had at secondary school was covered in breadcrumbs - the contents were always either a worryingly undercooked looking pink or a repulsive grey. the food was shocking at our school - i imagine it was more shocking than most.

i had a packed lunch at primary school - mostly chicken sandwiches smothered with salad cream, with perhaps an apple, crisps and a capri sun (btw,i'm now addicted to strawberry flavour capri suns - over the last fortnight i've been drinking about 8 a day)

[alpha_uk]

they were called turkey bread sticks i think, but "choppie" is good. . i think they were basically mashed up giblets moulded into the shape of a leg. i used to eat them with hemispheres of mash followed by funny mouse things with jelly tots on.

[phil]

Since when did this thread turn in to what you ate at school. ?? are you all on acid?

Yes! Up here in Scotland, "having your tea" is eating your dinner as well. The colluquialisms can run rampant sometimes!!

[gunjack]

are you really that darts guy? is that really you in the pic?

[invisibleplanet]

hmm no Gunny, breakfast is still the first meal of the day at around 6-6:30am followed by elevenses at 11:00, lunch is at 1:00 ish. tea is between 3:30 - 4pm, dinner is somewhere between 7pm and 8pm, and supper....around 10:30, unless u miss dinner, and then u have only supper.

I eat alot, and weigh around 120 lbs

N'ah mate. It was just a joke that got outta hand a few years ago. I don't play darts and I don't have a kilt!

Here is a picture of me from our Rudiman gig in Nov. I guess someone I didn't like must have came in. Right in the middle of my Tommy Cooper impression!

There are similarities to the darts guy, although thankfully less as I've got older

nah! brunch is when you've missed breakfast, and it's too early for lunch , but you're absolutely famished!

[gunjack]

Very concise IP! I think the usual for me is breakfast, lunch and dinner with constant snacking *he says through straining trousers*

[invisibleplanet]

r u coming to england,gunny?

[gunjack]

not this time..... the english confound me.

but you have good taste in music bro.

Absolutely!! That's why I still find it amusing to this day. I actually do watch the world championchips every January when they're on the telly. It isn't that I consider darts a quality sport, it is the people in the crowd and the commentary that really make it for me. Yes, I am a bit odd that way.

Thanks!! I'll try and inform you of any mixes or whatever that I can let you listen to. I dare say they might be a bit far to send, but you never know!!

ftp my man. that site is a god send!

[gunjack]

i heard from claude young that scotland is really nice!

[phil]

Just listened to your tracks Gunjack. I really liked them. I really wanted to come back and say they were rubbish as well.

[Basic]

Indeed, there are a few here. I last seen Claude just before Christmas. He doesn't stay too far away from me, but it was at a friend's night I hooked up with him. A lot of the time you actually see less of a person the closer they are to you!!

[gunjack]

thanks phil.

@basic
i know what ya mean :)

[invisibleplanet]

ehem! - Claude Young's first english residency at the ThinkTank in Leeds began Jan 2003- I was there! see him next there on the last Friday of April 2003

[pille'ocheoni]

elvennish............what the hell is that?...........all kinds of culture in this thread.........ive learned alot today

[Mui]

@ primary school I used to be the only one who had wholemeal bread for their sandwiches......I hated bloody wholemeal bread

[pille'ocheoni]

whats wholemeal bread?

[Mui]

brown bread

[pille'ocheoni]

and thats it for lunch? i hope you had some fruit or something. maybe some crackers or a juice box, or a bucket of pudding:)

[Mui]

nar nar, there was like jam or ham or penut butter...but brown bread made it all taste dry and boring

[gunjack]

i have taken to eating wheat (brown) bread and wheat rice as well recently....

[Mui]

I don't mind it so much now.....but when you're 10 you want white and only white......cuz that's what everyone else has so why can't I mum?

[gunjack]

[eddie murphy voice]yes, but you only want white bread unless mom makes you that "i can make a hamburger better than mcdonalds" white bread home cooked burger..... the fucking bread go all pink and gooey and the other kids are like:
"i got mcdonalds, and you don't got none!"[/eddie murphy voice]

[Mui]

cheers

[dirtyho]

school dinners have put me off the idea of "english" food forever - smash mash what the fuck is that about?

[pille'ocheoni]

smash mash = mash patatoes?

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

Yeah, but dehydrated potatoes rejuvinated by some milk and mixed up. Foul to say the least. I did like the Smash adverts with the robots when I was a nipper though.

[dirtyho]

the adverts were cool - the product was wack

[decadnids]

cant beat proper mash tho, hmmm ;)

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

[phil]

choppie.co.uk is available get it jane. we should make a cartoon called choppie. cause choppie sounds like a funny person. Chocky on the other hand used to fuck my head up,

[jane]

...as is fishcake.com/co.uk.

[jane]

yeah, chocky was a weirdo... d'u remember 'the boy from space'?

[jane]

look

[phil]

i don't remember that. Wasn't your dad one of the first people in Chelmsford to get satellite TV? I used to play out in the woods.

[jane]

you're boring.

[jane]

btw, i saw you in your fto last night - singing along to the blazin' squad... "see you at the crossroads"

[phil]

your dull-itch.

[phil]

Jane, you should put your phone on lock, because it accidently called me and i heard you singing the final countdown.

[jane]

i saw u practicing your punches on chelmsford high street singing eye of the tiger...

[phil]

Do you still have that tin with the glowing mushroom sticker on it? where you used to keep your home-made clay animal necklaces?

[CV]

arent choppies spam fritters

[phil]

might be.

[grobelaar]

Sounds like corn dogs if you ask me - they had a campaign to popularise them in the UK a few years ago - utterly disgusting the batter was like fatty carpet tiles, coating what must have been the lowest grade of meat product I have ever tasted...

[phil]

think of the starving people who have nothing to eat before u moan at our how huge range of food available. shame on you.

[jane]

naaahh... choppies are in no way related to spam...
i hated spam, but loved choppies u see.
spam fritters are just fried spam i think...
i think choppies is a brand name for chop shaped meat, either pork or chicken... covered in bright orange breadcrumbs...
they were great! [when i was 7]

[penciLneck]

Weird how bad junk food assumes cult status - look at pot noodle..

[phil]

what are you talking about? cult status, what does that mean?

hey u have my name in your top 3. my first friend. hi

[penciLneck]

Hi Gary - yes I am your friend. Keep those fewkin choppies away from me tho.

[invisibleplanet]

it's official - junk food is the behaviouralists nightmare

[penciLneck]

Oh btw phile_t, hardcunt.mp3 is inspired, especially like the spanish flavour and the sound of you moaning in the background, top job!
