Indeed it is a fish.

It got its name in the days of the British Raj, from being transported on an iconic train called the 'Bombay Daak', 'daak' being the Hindi word for mail. It evolved into 'duck', hence 'Bombay Duck'.

Love all three.

Hate bananas.

M.E , my mum was capable of burning Mash
(told us it was chocolate mash)
The Christmas turkey was not deemed cooked unless it was somewahat crunchy.
As for cooking liver like a nice bit of fillet , steak was cooked in the oven for a very very long time.
on the upside I did get chips for breakfast , or a monster pile of mash on fried bread
(converted to cadburys Smash as it was safer)

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

I think the only nosh that was done ok in 60s-70s was stews(with dumplings etc) plus proper home cut chips done in lard.
everything else was burnt to f***

At our house, the joke was that you knew when the potatoes were cooked when smoke started appearing round the kitchen door.
One day mum had a microwave delivered just prior to Christmas...cooked the turkey then reheated the slices in the microwave for ...30 minutes!! Ever had black crunchy turkey flavoured charcoal???

Food of the gods, along with Marmite, bread and butter pudding and Magnums!!
