This is new thread

I don't know what an arctic roll is.

I’d be rubbish because my mum was not a brilliant cook.

CELERY -ACK? John what are you on?

If I was cooking something inspired by my Gran it would be a tinned salmon sandwich followed by a frozen Sara Lee chocolate sponge not quite defrosted in the middle.

Wouldn't be winning any prizes sadly.

They must make allowances for the food to go cold surely?

Grouchy man you’ve not lived! Sponge and jam wrapped round ice cream. Staple of 70s childhood.

Same here OhWhat I've mentioned before how terrible mine was in the kitchen

I'd have to make something up

I like your brokli.

Undercooked chicken.

Grouchy It's ice cream wrapped in sponge

HMSophie - I'm sure I remember Jay Rayner saying that most of the food is tasted cold by the time they've messed about with the filming and taking photographs etc.

Erm. I was neither alive in the '70s nor in this country. Can you still get them?

I remember extolling the new M&S prawn & mayo sandwiches to my grandmother.
She recreated them with white sliced bread, tinned prawns and salad cream...

Basically a Swiss roll with vanilla ice-cream in the middle, Grouchy. Staple pudding of many a 1970s childhood

romaine aha ! Must be vile eating some of this stuff tepid.

Mine would be my mums unique take on risotto. Or a roast (well done) with very cooked veg and flat Yorkshire puds. And twice (for luck) sherried trifle.

John said celery yak

Epic X-post with everybody....

Indeed, Bev.
It's Jonty and Gregg's fault for being difficult to please...

David is having a winning day

I yhink Christian might be off.

Yes you can, (you child you) in fact there Is one in my freezer atm.

David is going to win I reckon.

Even better were Arctic Circles - a slice of arctic roll coated in chocolate. Gourmet dining in the 70s.

Too posh for us Romaine!
