Originally posted by SloveniaDave Pedant alert but Beefeater never did Coq au Vin, at least not in the 70s or 80s. All main courses were either grilled or deep fried - no slow cooking with sauces.

The first dish with its own sauce was 'duck a l'orange' (grilled half duck with a boil in the bag sauce sachet). The Horn of Plenty was basically an oversized ice cream with 2 spoons of tinned mixed fruit and some strawberry/chocolate sauce on the top. We knew how to live it up in the 80s! Edited by SloveniaDave (02 May 2016 11.53am) Do Wimpy still do the Knickerbocker Glory? Now that was something amazing as a kid. Also remember the ice cream at Thorpe Park was up there. And proper Cornish Ice Cream in Cornwall, served by a red faced alcoholic from a van. COYP

Canterbury Palace Whitstable 02 May 16 7.00pm
I remember an episode of Eurotrash which had a feature on a company who provided buffets which were arranged on naked Japanese girls. You might consider researching them, it would be quite a talking point. We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...
