A walk down memory lane: flashback to the 50s & 60s Home Cocktail Party and Dinner menu with Prawn Cocktail as an Appetizer. That was accompanied with a jellied Tomato Aspic or Lime Cottage Cheese Jello and a Seven Layer Casserole or Steak with Baked Potato and Pineapple Upside Down Cake for dessert. Back in the day when hostesses wore fancy georgette aprons with wide crinoline dresses, rhinestone jewelry and cats-eye glasses. And of course ashtrays all over the house that you regularly had to empty while you and your guests were chain-smoking in the house while drinking and eating listening to music being played on LP records. Cocktails were Martinis, Manhattans, Rusty Nails, Black Russians or Scotch on the Rocks. Then everyone drove home drunk. A by-gone era.

I see a lot of people saying how different the American sauce is,well until COVID forced me to retire as the restaurant I was working in decided to close permanently and I was 75 at the time,I knew no one was going to hire me again. It was a top rated seafood restaurant,we did half a pound of warm shrimp with cocktail sauce,I would watch one of the shuckers(oyster chefs) make it,it was cans of tomato sauce,chili sauce( tomato sauce with onions ,garlic, spices a little corn syrup, but not very sweet) house made horseradish,tabasco sauce,gin,and Worcestershire sauce,so delicious it was served with the oysters along side the mignonette sauce.Funny you said you didn’t have avocado as a kid,I did,though we called them avocado pears,my Gran,used to cut in half,take out the pit,and fill the cavity with Worcestershire sauce then eat with a spoon.I still do that,it’s a great combo,when making avocado toast I mash it with the sauce,then sprinkle with the now very popular “Everything but the Bagel “ seasoning,really good😊

I absolutely love Prawn Cocktails and still indulge in them once in a while. They will never go out of fashion with me. You know you could also use both the smoked paprika powder and the chili/cayenne powder together and turn it into a 'hot' paprika powder. There are even ready made tins of the stuff from a Spanish brand. I highly recommend them, because it's quality powder.

I've never seen this, thanks for sharing. We always have the US version-ketchup, loads of horseradish, Worcestershire sauce is the base then perhaps lemon and pepper if you choose. We're of Eastern European extraction so it was really mainly an excuse to have horseradish. OK, we don't need an excuse-there's always a jar or root in the fridge. Yours looks quite elegant. Your sauce is lovely, halfway to a Russian or Thousand Island dressing. I'll be making it soon.

I had a prawn cocktail last Wednesday night! I do make them occasionally. I had some cooked prawns and iceburg lettuce that needed using, so I thought what the heck. Growing up in the 70's, they were an absolute highlight for us on the rare occasion we'd go out for dinner. We'd always get the prawn cocktail, even when there was a huge entrée menu. I absolutely nailed the Marie Rose sauce. I added a bit extra tobasco for a kick. Not hot, just twangy. I'd never seen it with cucumber, I really like the sound of that and will try that next time. Same with the tomatoes.
