Did you take cooking or woodwork at school?

Please vote and discuss.
I would make a poll but it's been so long I've forgotten how to.

I took cooking myself.

I took Only Fools and Horses.

Neither I did metalwork and the first thing I made was a hand beaten shoehorn many many years ago and its on the wall 8 feet from where I am typing now!

I did home ec, wood work and metal work in 1st year, we do loads of subjects in 1st year to see what we like. I wish I'd have kept on wood work because I really enjoyed it

I didn't take them for GCSE no but I did them in the first three years of secondary as it was compulsory. Pizza, sausage rolls, muffins, Victoria Sponge, a chunky wooden pencil case and a wooden jigsaw puzzle of a poster of a wrestler stand out. All terrible probably. :skull:

For GCSE I took Art, IT, Geography and French/Welsh (you picked one you had to do the other for some reason, I only wanted to do Welsh).

I wanted to do food tech ( as my mother was a chef ) but back in those days boys did metalwork and woodwork whilst the girls did cooking and sewing

I did both cooking & woodwork, but it wasn't called wood work as it wasn't just woodwork,it involved making a pencil holder out of plastic at one point.

Both subjects were mandatory in secondary school.

What other reason do you need to pick cooking.

[AnnieK]

We had Domestic Science (needlework and cooking) and CDT (craft, design and technology) which we did in the first 3 years and then they were options for GCSE but I didn't take either - I was neither a domestic goddess OR crafty :laugh:

…yeah, me also…I did woodwork and loved it …cooking is something that’s never captured my interest at any age…edited to say that I do love to watch others cook, though…that’s the greatest aspect of cooking for me…other people doing it and me watching that skill from afar…

I do enjoy cooking but I don't like regimental cooking, I like to go off script with recipes and to take my time :laugh:
