Meh - fish is pretty easy to screw up.
Says the woman who can make a souffle but didn't get a jacket potato with beans right.

Mass catering is an under-appreciated art.
I see it five days a week in term time and I have to admit I am staggered by what they achieve.
Roast potatoes, Yorkshire Puddings, Goujons, Pies - check.

Anything topped with potato (Cottage Pie, Shepherd's Pie etc) Fail - the fat floats on top - gag.

And they change the veggie meal with no notice.
One of "my" girls was excited to be having cous cous. Oh no you don't. Veggie lasagna instead, which she really didn't like. And our Hindu pupil would sometimes be faced with a veggie substitution that had egg in it - even if he agreed to it, the checkout computer would show he couldn't have it. His parents took to giving him a "snack" (a filled chapatti) in case this happened.

In general they're brilliant though.
