Back in time for dinner

[hideandseekpig]

Is anyone going to watch this? I'm really torn because the presenter is Giles Coren who I don't like much but the idea is interesting. They are basically getting a family to eat from a different decade each week from 1950s to now

Oh, lighten up Hoover.

nothing excuses serving cold leftover liver, leftover cauliflower and leftover plain boiled potatoes to the children

Why is no-one thinking of the poor long suffering kids havin her cooking this inflicted upon them?

Exactly Onlylovers I thought this was a light hearted thread like the programme .

We're all different, some of us like to sit down to CHOP veg. not to actually cook . Some of us don't. .

I'm assuming she served it cold because that is what had been listed in the food survey by someone for that day. I thought that they were using selected menus and recipes from each decades food survey.

Has this woman actually come out and said she has a medical issue with her back?!?! Seems vey unfair to be trying to diagnosis a woman based on a number of short clips on TV!

Just a bit !!!

But it's lighthearted. So that's ok.
More like fruckin insulting.

Oh God, give it up. Like no one's ever indulged in a bit of light speculation about anything ever before.

Yeah, specially someone off the telly Only

Hi, ppeat, by the way! You all right?

Menu planner _ use up leftover liver,cauliflower and tats does not equate to serving up the soddin lot as is, does it? Given they'd a store cupboard of staples from the time?

Except, of course, if you're a declared non-cook with no imagination either ...ahhhhhh, I see what happened here

Yes I'm very well thanks Only How are you? But perhaps we're being a bit too flippant?

Google suggests a medium rare liver can be served cold and treated similar to a pate or other cold cuts of meat.

Personally I ate the taste and texture of liver - though haven't actually eaten meat for years - hot or cold sounds vile to me.

I do like raw cold cauliflower though, and cold cooked potatoes.

But cold cooked potatoes fried or sautéed even better? And the cold liver could have been heated up in a gravy made from the bistro or oxo in the larder. The cauli could have just been heated up over a pan of boiling water.

Again, did nobody think of the poor suffering children?

As for rochelles posture. To come up with a possible medical and acceptable condition surely has to be preferable to my own...that she's a slouchy humourless whinger

Yes ppeat.

Yes Jacana That meal WAS shocking but they were different days, I remember my mum serving rabbit in the 50s and actually telling us FGS!! We all cried .

Only

Loved this programme. The Robshaws seem like a cool family. There's going to be a Christmas special apparently!

A christmas special?

If it's in real-time I'll watch - that lovely lad perfectly competent by now to use his chopper to stuff a bird and get it in the oven, while his sisters can arrange steamed sprouts and a carrot on the plates in artistic fashion...

Meanwhile mum and dad are in the pub, he downing pints and Rochelle getting stuck into Babychams and Brandies until the kids phone them to come home. And perhaps a bottle of Blue Nun to make this a true celebration?

PS yes, I really know people who drink Babycham and Brandy and Blue Nun,even now

Snowballs, surely!

How are the kids going to phone them in the pub?!

Christmas special tonight!

Looking forward to seeing 'em all again!

yay, jsut saw this
