    No suggestions for food but i'm sure you could try to work the word 'dragon' in there somewhere!

    What about foods from different areas of England instead, so Cornish pasties, Souse, Yorkshire Pudding, Bakewell Tart, Eccles cakes etc

    Just make it traditional:

    Toad in the hole.
    Lancashire hotpot
    Bakewell Tart
    Shepherds pie


    I like doing toad in the hole, cos it's dead easy.

    I love school dinners. I can't wait I'm going for lunch there on the mothers day special. :j:j:j:beer::T:T

    ok my poor contribution lol

    Hot cross Buns = flags
    chicken legs = dragon legs
    chips = dragons claws

    pizza = shield of armour
    beetroot = dragons breath
    chicken nuggets = dragons teeth

    i dont think im very good at this:rotfl::rotfl:
  • What would the children be eating anyway? Rename those meals.

    (e.g. during Book Week each year our cook rebrands the menu, so the chocolate and beetroot sponge became Dragon Thunder sponge when the theme was dragons, and became Hagrid's sponge during 'Giant Week'. )
    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:
