Cookery Lessons Back on the Menu in English Schools

Whether it's to do with fighting childhood obesity or just that all the celebrity chefs have made cooking a more identifiable career goal than medicine but the UK government have decided to make cookery classes (or home economics as it was known when I was in school) compulsory for all children aged 11-14 in England.

Which begs the question - what should be the representative type of food British kids should learn to prepare....and want to eat themselves?

Perhaps a good curry would fit the bill......as long as the teachers do a better job of hot chilli instruction than this family....
