Re: As a child of the 1970s, I have a fear of savoury dishes involving fruit...
A few things stick in my memory from early school years (First and Middle school back in those days:
Rice pudding or semolina with a blob of red jam (ink and wood chips), it went a gorgeous shade of pink when stirred.
A sponge cake which had lemon curd trailed on it before cooking so you had a canal of lemon. It was surprisingly good.
Faggots! On those days the big aluminium water jug always went back heavier than it started. They were truly awful.
