PRESENTS

SKOOL DINNERS PARTY NIGHT
ON
SATURDAY 3rd OCTOBER 1998
AT
 8.00 for 8.30pm

"For what we are about to receive
may the Lord make us truly thankful."


Dinner
Served with scoops of mashed potato, diced carrots and dead cabbage.

MINCE PIE
Some sort of lumpy grey matter (including ground bone & gristle) in a glutinous gravy, encased in a pie crust.

CHEESE PIE
Some sort of lumpy yellow matter (bearing no relation to any known dairy product) baked on a pie crust.

TOAD IN THE HOLE
The stools of  the proverbial butcher's dog, cremated inside a frangible Yorkshire Pudding batter confection.

IRISH STEW served with slices of beetroot.
Bits of gristle & everything-but-the-kitchen-sink ( but not forgetting the pigswill bucket), submerged in ectoplasm.

BATTERED FISH
As in assault & etc. Except for its size, you'd think it had been reared in an aquarium in the biology labs.

SPAM SALAD
Wilted lettuce, one slice of tomato, one of cucumber and the beetroot left over from the last Irish Stew day.


Afters
Served with globs of artificially-yellow custard substitute

MANCHESTER TART
Short-crust pie base filled with a stratum of jam and topped with a layer of set custard.

STODGE PUDDING
A wodge of home-made sponge riddled with squashed flies.

PRUNES
Unstoned sun-dried plums in a blackish syrup.

RICE PUDDING & A DOLLOP OF JAM
Speciality of the house. Some may prefer a spoonful of the commercially-produced jam.
