Childhood school dinner treat loved by Mancunians... but with a controversial ingredient
Generations of children will shudder at the thought of some of the food served to them in school canteens through the years.
The recipe was first published by Mrs Beeton in her book Household Management. A set custard slice in shortcrust pastry, the ingredients included breadcrumbs, milk, sugar, eggs, jam and lemon juice. The image showed the tart with a layer of cut banana running through it between the jam and the custard. And while many expressed their love for the Manchester Tart, the inclusion of banana wasn't to everybody's taste.
And it seems the controversial inclusion of bananas may have had something to do with what school you attended. One person posted: "It does have bananas in, had this so many times at school." Which prompted another person to reply: "It didn't at St Mark's School in West Gorton, Manchester."
