Back To The Seventies.

We were discussing last night, meals you had on a good night out in the seventies and early eighties, that no longer seem to be around. Those were the days when you went to lost venues like the Burston Inn at Bow to partake of prawn cocktails followed by Chicken in The Basket, the meal ending with the obigatory slice of Black Forest Gateau. It would, of course, all be washed down with a bottle of Lambrusco or Blue Nun. Ah, what memories come flooding back, driving through the Devon countryside after such a meal, stopping only when one of the party felt the otherwhelming need to throw up.

Now of couse, its all different with every pub in existance treying to outdo its rivals in the scope of its menues. Lovely as it may all be, dont you just sometims get the urge for a bit of the old Black Forest and a glaas of one of those good old sparkling wines ?.
