The food in the seventies in the UK sounds much like what we in the USA were enjoying. Along with box wine or the Mateus Rose'.

And don't forget the odd bottle of Blue Nun or Mateus RosĂ© to wash it all down đŸ¤£

A good prawn cocktail can be lovely. A bad one, much less so.

I do like Black Forest cake but around me that's a professional production, while trifle is something my grandmother made for Christmas (but without the sherry so we kids could eat it.)

Having worked at Berni Inns

I will defend them at the time they were innovative

But failed to adapt into the late 80s when Harvester became there main rivals but my memories go to the Dutch Apple pie and the Dover Sole

Scampi and chips at a Berni Inn. I was at school with a Berni daughter. Fabulously wealthy. She got a car for her 17th birthday. A new mini. We were all envious. She probably never ate in one of her father or uncle's restaurants.
