Mary Berry and Judith Chalmers try their hand at low cost Lamb dishes, 70's style. This clip was taken from the Thames Television's 'Good Afternoon' and was first broadcast in 1976
Judith and Mary talking about children using conkers - do kids even do that these days? Also you briefly hear Judith refer yo her son Mark who's now a celeb in his own right.
I am really lucky to have a mum who did all this and more. She is of Mary's generation though, one of the last generations that valued nutrition and high quality, maximum effort cooking and baking.
@TheRenaissanceman65 That depends on what level and standard of work the stay at home mum was satisfied with. If like my mum it was impossibly high, then there was barely any time for anything else other than the housework, cooking / baking and raising of children and husband (the biggest baby of the family!).
Both my parents worked but still cooked things like this (yes BOTH of them) We didn't have a microwave ever when I was younger (early 80s onwards) so everything was cooked from scratch. Spaghetti bol, roast dinner etc. We had belly pork quite a lot which I still love. There was no big supermarket within easy reach until about 1989 so it was butchers, fruit and veg shop, VG shop that delivered
