Fond memories of pineapple in chicken curry as well.

Mum did lots of posh stuff. For parties. Seriously complicated things. And gorgeous puddings. And she made her own mayo which I think is above and beyond.

But generally I think that curry and spag bol were probably it.

Lasagne but don't know if itwas as far back as the 70's

Curry yes with the sultanas.

Sweet and sour chicken no jars, proper homemade. Again poss the 80's

Mum was a school dinner cook.

My dad spent his early twenties in a seminary in califrnia in the 50's so he had a lifelong devotion to mexican and american food. He would spend hours buying, roasting and blending spices(in my mums coffee grinder lol) to make enchiladas and burritos and we would regularly have boston cream pie which is like banofie except without the toffee.

my mum made chilli con carne with baked beans
it was fab
and chicken curry with sultanas, dessicated coconut and chopped banana on top

Proper curry that is.

Gammon and pineapple was very popular. I think it's the combo of salty and sweet (bit like Hawaiian pizza)

My mum made lots of snazzy stuff too, they were real foodies in a bland food wilderness of Ireland in the 70's.

'Spanish'
'Sausages'.

Neither was strictly correct....

It was sort of bits of sausage cut up in a mixture of spicy tomato sauce stuff with big onion bits and fried.

I won't go into the home made herby hamburgers (bleurgh)
that was about it.
