Pudding course around 1950 (memories of...)

When did Vienetta become popular. My mum thought it the height of sophistication. ?

We had shortbread and pink.custard at school. Shortbread was so hard it was called concrete. Also Apple tart, any milk pudding, peasants pudding, syrup sponge. All of course with custard

I don't have a sweet tooth and loathed all the puddings of my childhood including all those mentioned in the OP. I did love apple pie and custard though which I could have eaten over and over again. I just loved the flavour of the cloves that were always lurking somewhere. I also loved rhubarb crumble.

While my friends were tucking into things like tinned peaches and evaporated milk and jam tart, I would long for a stick of celery.

I didn’t experience school dinners until the mid 60s and they were generally quite good, if a little unexciting. They were made on the premises, not delivered in big containers.

I don’t know what you’re complaining about, OP. I’d eat all these to a band playing!

They all sound delicious to me!
