This is a link post Retro Recipes
An excellent website dedicated to, you guessed it, retro recipes. It is the best website I've found due to it being very easy to navigate, plus there are no annoying banner ads that slip through adblock.

I love it because the recipes are devastatingly simple and easy to make, and I guarantee you will not be needing any arsey ingredients. They are totally delicious too, I'm eating some amazing cream of celery soup and I want MOER

It's GC but hasn't been outed for a few years and deserves to see the light of a b3tan day once again :-D

This is a normal post No ox tails and barley stew?
I used to love that

Edit: In fact if you have never had oxtails they are delicious and you have promted me to make it! I haven't had it for 20 years.

This is a normal post I suppose you could adapt this
www.retrofoodrecipes.com/mutton_broth_1955.html

And use oxtail instead of scrag end of mutton neck. The recipes are so basic that they can be used as a base, I added a bit of dill and nutmeg to my soup, cos that's the way I ride.

just a shame it is not in a wiki-type format, as I have a few I could have added to their collection.

This is a normal post ha ha I am indeed very fond of chutney! (and other pickles / preserves)
No I don't have any specific ones, I mostly use recipes found in books, and only recently started using internet recipes.
Edit: See gaz.

Conjures up a rather unpleasant mental image.
