Hi jibharper,elfin,zeddy & valsuey.Special thanks to zeddy for the chocolate concrete recipe.I made it today and it brought back happy memories of the good part of school dinners.Having a more delicate constitution these days we found it a bit rich with chocolate custard but it makes a very tasty cake.Any more school recipes available?As long as its not tapioca!!! I seem to remember a type of tart made with lemon curd and mock cream.
