I loved Manchester Tart as a kid in the 70's. Back in the days when School Dinners were made from scratch not just reheated from bought in frozen stuff.
I was lucky enough to have wonderful school dinners in Lancashire in the 1970s and Manchester Tart was one of the highlights….thankyou for posting it! I can still hear the head dinnerlady Mrs Isherwood saying “we’ll have five minutes sai-lence, and WOE betide the furst wan to talk” 😀
I love Manchester tart and had this at school with bananas in it. I can eat it with or without, I’m not fussy, it’s lovely either way. I also like banofee pie.
I used to watch the Food Channel and everything that was made was just perfection. I love watching you as you make mistakes or there are holes in the pastry and you always manage to patch things up and carry on. Everything you make looks wholesome and mouthwatering. It's a pleasure to watch someone in an ordinary kitchen making everyday normal meals. I watch both your channels and really enjoy watching both of you. Great job!
I have not seen Manchester Tart since the 1960's at school dinners. Yours had double the volume of custard - how delicious is that. Thanks for the tip of egg white egg wash. I will give one a try. Thank You.
As a Manchester lad I can tell you your tart was absolutely authentic and proper. It looked really delicious and I'm gutted that I couldn't try a slice. Not to worry I'm going to make one at weekend following your recipe and method exactly. Thanks very much for doing this. I can't believe I only requested this t'other day. Any chance of doing Eccles cakes?
Oh wow this brought up memories tonight, I remember growing up in the late 60 early 70 and my mum baking us all this every Sunday. She was born and raised in Leigh so she & her brothers & sisters grew up on this and they all raised us exactly the same.. Thank you for sharing a long forgotten recipe since I lost my mum 20 years ago but not any longer as I'm going to teach my granddaughters as I know she would have. Sending warm hugs from a thankful follower 🫶
WOW. Thanks Mandy. Looks great. Like to see the old puds coming back especially now we're in Autumn. I have a desperate request for Queen of Puddings. Looks cheap to make. Never done but always wanted to. Would you show us? Thanks. Lisa x
Happy days I enjoyed this pudding at my school in Altrincham cheshire not far from Manchester. Manchester tart was one of my favorites. Loved school dinners. Slimming world healthy plan for diet and nutrition maintaining target weight for over a year. No harm in a treat pudding it is all about a good balanced diet everything in moderation. Life is for living. Enjoy.
One of my asks...love love love Man' Tart,my step mum was a cook at our local primary school and used to bring a tray of this home every Friday. Yummmmmm (nothing on the custard..i loved the skin on) Ty for cooking and sharing Mrs D L 🎉
There wasn't any bananas in the Manchester tart we had at school and the two places I buy this now doesn't- perhaps it is a regional thing to have bananas in
There was a lush pudding when I was in school I always thought it was butterscotch tart but in the recipes I’ve seen it’s super sweet the one I remember was the colour of butterscotch angel delight even a similar taste pastry bottom and the butterscotch was very creamy slightly lighter tester to egg custard and had a swirl of cream on the top just wish I could find the recipe well that’s how it was in wales, I think you had different school dinners up here in the north east love your channel what’s Ian’s channel?
Takes me back 60yrs to school lunches. Really like this one. I also liked a pastry tart that had a slightly crunchy filling with currants but have no idea what it was called. I was one of the dinner monitors so after clearing the tables, if there were leftovers the dinner ladies used to give us slices of these kind of deserts. Yummy! Shared to Pinterest.
As we are most unlikely to meet at the supermarket (i live in the Netherlands) i hereby say that i now bake at least one of your recipes every weekend. The family loves it! Thank you dinner lady. ❤
You took me right back to my school days in the 60's & 70's seeing that tart! It was never as generously filled with the custard, though, having to go between so many of us! I must show this to my daughter, so we can make it together, next time she visits! Lol
@thedinnerlady9180 We will - it's the only time I really cook nowadays - it's not as much fun on your own, I've found - & we love trying new recipes together when she visits! Lol
Looks amazing, I have one of these from my local bakers every week, to be honest I've always known it to have banana in it. Im born and bred mancunian!
Cheers, guys, from Southern Alabama, USA. I love ❤️ your recipes, your accents and of course your measurements which are so different from ours for the oven, etc. A lot of our ancestors came from England so I do enjoy watching you and yours. I had my ancestors researched and my blood is half Scottish 😮! I’d love to visit but at 71, I’ll never have the money. Haha!
Bloody hell, i thought you was talking about me with the title of this! Hahaha. Another great video! Still amazes me how you knock out a pastry every time, i try once, twice 48 times and i just cant do it.
I haven't had that in years, thanks for the recipe, I'm going to make it for me and and my Wife. From a fellow Makem, now living in Glasgow for many years.
The first time I had Manchester tart was at my primary school in the late 70’s but our dinner ladies used to add banana slices in it as well so when I had it later in life and there weren’t any bananas in it I was a bit disappointed. I’m assuming the original recipe doesn’t have bananas added because a lot of the recipes I’ve seen are without them.
Now that looks lovely, what my husband would refer to as 'proper food'. I've never had this before but I'm making it tonight. I would think that most of us must have these basic ingredients in our kitchens so it's great to find such a lovely little recipe like this.
@@thedinnerlady9180 We did! It seems such a simple recipe and yet it's so tasty. I can't believe I have ever made this before. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Yummo!! I love Manchester Tart and I think I’ll make one this week sometime. I haven’t made one for a long time. My mouth is drooling. Enjoy, both of you.
One of my favourites along with Chorley cakes and Eccles cakes 😊 I am so tempted to make my knees right now but I have to wait till another week or two when I get sorted keep up the good work and hard work looking forward to the next one
Not eaten Manchester Tart for over 50 years when at school. Must now make it. Yours looked absolutely delicious. Thank you for these videos. I do have a query though. Although I can't eat food with spices especially garlic I'm hooked, like and subscribed on you and husband 's TH-cam. Why is this? Actually I can answer myself. You both come over on camera as two really nice genuine people and are so relaxing and enjoyable to watch. Also recipes can be adapted to suit our families taste. So thank you very much.
Ur the 1st person iv seen make Manchester tart wit out using birds custard, love it thank u xx will definitely making this favourite dessert xx thank you xx
I loved Manchester Tart as a kid in the 70's. Back in the days when School Dinners were made from scratch not just reheated from bought in frozen stuff.
Totally agree x
This takes me back to my school days in early 80s, absolutely loved it....loved all my school puddings 😊
Me too, specially Manchester tart 😋
Omg, Manchester tart, loved it at school, we had it with bananas in it. Brings back some lovely memories.

I just love your presentations. No nonsense instructions and no unnecessary waiting while you separate eggs etc. keep m coming.
I love Manchester tart and had this at school with bananas in it. I can eat it with or without, I’m not fussy, it’s lovely either way. I also like banofee pie.
I've never heard of this tart, it looks scrumptious. I will have a go at making it for my family here in Australia
Proper good old fashioned food! Just like our genius dinner ladies used to make at school. Well done! Yummy!👌😋
Looks lovely 👍👍👍
Being from Canada, I love when you make recipes I've never heard of. This looks like a comfort food I would really enjoy!
I used to watch the Food Channel and everything that was made was just perfection.

Thank you so much Heather that's so nice x
Yum, never had it before, but I am gonna try it. I love all the elements, such as Custard, and buttery pastry, so it should be a winner.
Your pastry always looks so good
You’ve definitely got the right channel name with the dinner lady, nothing says school dinners as much as Manchester tart! Deeelicous !
I have not seen Manchester Tart since the 1960's at school dinners. Yours had double the volume of custard - how delicious is that. Thanks for the tip of egg white egg wash. I will give one a try. Thank You.
Me too... only ever ate it at school dinner times and I'm a Manchester lass. I don't think it can be bought in shops, never seen it.
A stall on Radcliffe market sell them. Open Wednesday and Saturday
Same here. Loved Manchester tart on school dinners
Same, only seen it at school dinner time. That's taken me back over 50 years ago. One of my favourites! Will definitely give this a go. Thanks.

It was a toss-up between this, chocolate sponge with peppermint custard, and ginger cake and custard. Oh the choices we had in the early 70s.
As a Manchester lad I can tell you your tart was absolutely authentic and proper. It looked really delicious and I'm gutted that I couldn't try a slice. Not to worry I'm going to make one at weekend following your recipe and method exactly. Thanks very much for doing this. I can't believe I only requested this t'other day.

I make one with lemon curd and put lemon juice in the custard to make it different and zesty topping
Oh yum! 😋 yet another new recipe to try 😊❤
Loved this at school in the 70s 🤤🤤🤤❤️👏🏻
You took me right back to my school days in the 60's & 70's seeing that tart!
It was never as generously filled with the custard, though, having to go between so many of us!
I must show this to my daughter, so we can make it together, next time she visits! Lol
How lovely hope you both enjoy your cooking time together x
@thedinnerlady9180
We will - it's the only time I really cook nowadays - it's not as much fun on your own, I've found - & we love trying new recipes together when she visits! Lol
Brilliant it's all memories love it when food triggers a good memory xx

Always loved since I had it at school during the war I made it for my daughter when I visited her in Canada last may
Never made this one ,another must try . Thanks for sharing .looks delicious 😋
Love the videos, the way baking should be. Your opinion please. For a Swiss roll should I use plain or self raising flour? Seen recipies using both.
That looks FAB, I lurve manchester tart and you can't buy it in the supermarkets in Scotland. Thank you so much for sharing xxx
Looks amazing, I have one of these from my local bakers every week, to be honest I've always known it to have banana in it. Im born and bred mancunian!

I love❤ Manchester Tart! My nan made it all the time. It was a great crowd pleaser. I'm going to give this a go myself. Thank you
Another work of art but for me a Manchester tart has to have a layer of banana and a cherry on top 👍
