Commercially made Anzac biscuits contain coconut (which means I've never had an Anzac biscuit in my life since I loathe coconut), but the original recipe didn't have it. They're available all year round from supermarkets in special Returned Services Association tins here in New Zealand.

Just found you, thanks to Max Miller! New sub.

Did the pamphlets indicate portion size? I've inherited my great grandmother's dishes, they are very small

I had a copy of that cookbook way back then! It was pretty horrific!

Nope, that is how curry was back then. It was the beginning of the curry being brought to england so things got mixed up and is quite different.

This looks delish.

Suggestion: check with google translate for the correct pronunciation.

When I think if the 1920's I think more about Berlin and then the speakeasys in America then just the glamorous stuff.

Your funny! Thanks for the video, I think I'm going to try it!

The cat’s meow!

Drink a Sumerian beer dating to 4000 years. Yes

lol I grew up in the 70s there's a good reason why we were all skinny! There was one crazy 70s thing I liked at the time although I probably wouldn't now (Hawaiian salad) Mostly we just played sports, hide and seek and looked forward to Sunday dinner with our grandparents hahah other than that food wasn't a big deal

I have JUST found your channel and it’s delightful!!! I’m sorry you have stopped posting

I recall mum making a LOT of casseroles in the 1970’s

Amazing work

You don't have the basic knowledge to make a custard.

You are just wonderful. Thank you for the recipe and history and fun personality.

As a home brewer I am very impressed that you mashed your own grain and captured your own yeast. Bravo.

Love love like be the Old English lesson: shrive shrive shrove?

Your Very Genuine 1930s/1940s radio!

How do you suppose cooks had access to cocoa butter and dates when the country was being blockaded?

Have you read Edward Gorey’s “The Water Flowers” Making too much white sauce is the major plot of this delightfully odd tale.

I honestly didn’t know that stegosauruses could fly 🦕🦕🦕

Great stuff! I wish you were still making episodes.

I’ll definitely give this a go. Have you tried it with Emmer flour or spelt flour?

These videos are great! Definitely should be much more popular, wonderful!!

Great video. The accent and personality made it even better hahaha.

Okay, here's what I remember about the 1970s. Delicious handmade whole grain breads, homemade yogurt, smoothies, many varieties of gorp, delicious Crepes (fruit, seafood and savory), popovers and delicious quiches, beef wellington, corned beef, inventive salads and desserts (such as flambés), balsamic glazed veggies, lots of seafoods, handmade ice creams and frozen yogurts, and some (looking back) poor attempts at Chinese foods but excellent Mexican dishes. I ate really, really well in the 70s and there was plenty good to eat staying away from the store aisles as much as possible

I've really enjoyed this series of videos! I've never had christmas pudding so the recipe here would be nice to try as its a small one. Thank you for making these!

chocolate pasta should be banned

Loved this!

Glad my mom didn't fix any of those

As an American child of the 70's I have never eaten any of these foods much less did my mother or father cook anything and jelly it. We had Jello salad on holidays and meatloaf most weeks but none of these abominations. I truly think that cook book writers in the 70's dared each other to come up with the most disgusting dishes they could and see how many people actually made them, and they laughed and laughed.

Nice video but you're doing it wrong. The barley and wheat should be mashed obviously to release the starshes... and there should be herbs and even the wheat straws added to the mixture, all mashed to get the juice out from the cellular walls of the plants and the fruit, this will give higher alcohol content. No need to steralize anything.. the fermentation process will kill all bacteria. Water doesn't need to be "clean" either. This mesh should then ferment for 3 days or more until it turns into spirit. After it turns into alcohol it's drinkable, bottle it up or wait until it turns into vinegar. If you did it wrong, it won't smell like alcohol and you can safely dispatch it. It may still be usable as medicine. Same stuff anti-biotica is made from.

2023 in USA. Still no paid holidays.

Sherry, tobacco...

Found to videos and now binge watching them. They are absolutely brilliant, well researched and lots of effort gone into them and your commentary is hesterical.

Are you serious? Watch some films from the 1930s to see what fashion looked like. Or even more shocking - open an actual BOOK. Google seems to have replaced the brains of many people today. Good lord.

Loved this !!! Practical, nostalgic, & very funny !!!

It should brothy for the bread.

Finallly!!!! So happy I found your channel. I love love love the history lesson before hand. Well done!

Makes sense as most time periods are remembered by the most flamboyant part of it, and the common folk are usually not as well known.

Chocolate pasta....hmmm!!

Woolworth's = soooooo many memories in EP, TX :-)

I think you overcooked it! But the combination of egg and alcohol is not uncommon. There’s zabaglione, eggnog and the Dutch advocaat.

Great pod. Good communicator. Just wanted to clarify that 3 cooks were involved with the Hamlyn All Color Cook Book. Audrey Ellis created your starter and Ann Body the other two courses. Mary Berry only did the first 4 chapters none of which your receipts were in.

You have a well-written and interesting channel, but in order to get noticed you need to step up the graphics and editing a bit. I know that sounds superficial but it's only because I'd love to see you take off. You're a very good presenter with solid research and informaiton -- just make it a little bit more "youtube-y"; did you see what Max Miller said? He took an online course in souping up the presentation, and it really worked for him! Or maybe you have a friend who could show you the ropes? Anyway best of luck to you from Montreal! 😎

BRING THIS CHANNEL BACK!

I'm amazed that you don't have millions of subscribers - your channel is SO much more interesting and funny than so many others. I'm thankful to Max Miller that he gave you a shout-out; I wish there were hundreds of past posts for me to binge-watch! PS I was busy making everything from scratch in the 70s, as I was homesteading in a forest, living a life as close to the 1800s as I could make it. So I had no idea what "regular" folks were cooking and eating. This episode was a real eye-opener! And it's absolutely correct - it's the decade that taste forgot, in clothes styles and home design as well as in food.

thanks! well done.
