I am really lucky to have a mum who did all this and more. She is of Mary's generation though, one of the last generations that valued nutrition and high quality, maximum effort cooking and baking.
@TheRenaissanceman65 That depends on what level and standard of work the stay at home mum was satisfied with. If like my mum it was impossibly high, then there was barely any time for anything else other than the housework, cooking / baking and raising of children and husband (the biggest baby of the family!).
Both my parents worked but still cooked things like this (yes BOTH of them) We didn't have a microwave ever when I was younger (early 80s onwards) so everything was cooked from scratch. Spaghetti bol, roast dinner etc. We had belly pork quite a lot which I still love. There was no big supermarket within easy reach until about 1989 so it was butchers, fruit and veg shop, VG shop that delivered
Judith and Mary talking about children using conkers - do kids even do that these days? Also you briefly hear Judith refer yo her son Mark who's now a celeb in his own right.
I love watching Mary wrestling with carcasses. Many today would have no idea what to do with these cuts.
i know it's kinda off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream new series online?
Have a shot of vodka every time you hear Mary say "Flaaaah". (Flour)
Love a vintage Mary Berry clip.
Has anyone else noticed that most of their meat seems past its prime. Was it aged??
I wouldn't think so, it probably just didn't have red colouring added.
It was aged.
It was cheap.
what a carry on

@@EgoShredder Agreed. When people made time for these things.

I'd love to do that, buy a piece of meat and get a few meals out of it. I don't think my family could be bothered
Judith Chalmers is beyond annoying, and stands so close to Mary that she is practically inside her clothes.
Ick. Stewed carrot 🤮
I add LOTS of butter and brown sugar to hide the taste of stewed carrots.
