Re: Popular Restaurant food during the seventies
oooh gosh remember Beef wellington...it was always way over priced and had overcooked steak in the middle.
...and Beef Olives....I loved them when my mum made them but they were always horrible in a restaurant.
My fave food then was a good old Scottish Haggis or black pudding supper from the chip shop. Can't beat it....sadly it's many years since I had one, but it's making my mouth water at the thought even now!

Re: Popular Restaurant food during the seventies
I always remember these mysterious things called 'seafood starters'
They got half a scallop shell , dumped in a few prawns and couple of sliced up crabsticks , covered it all in thousand island dressing and grilled until it was a solid paste set in the shell
looked grotesque but was actually very tasty
Lots of restaurants in North used to serve em , usually before your chicken in a basket

Re: Popular Restaurant food during the seventies
I remember coq au being quite popular in the 70s. Also syllabub as a dessert. Don't think I have had either for two decades at least.
As an aside, does anyone remember rum barbas? Not sure if I spelled that correctly but I thought they were great and again haven't seen them in a long time.
