Derby Tup the best food in Eastwood was probably PizzaPaz* or the Hollies chippy**

* Sadly due to close as the building has been sold. Been making Eastwood's best pizza since I was at school.

** Even more sadly closed a few years back when the family sold up.

Basket meals in pubs! I worked in a pub in 1977 and we served some cracking bar meals ... triangles of fish and chips; ravioli (Heinz from tin with a dash of tobacco and black pepper); macaroni cheese (see ravioli above!) and chicken curry (rehydrated like Vesta!). They were very popular though ... I remember knocking out over 100 meals in one lunchtime when I was the only one in the kitchen (thank you microwave and deep fat fryer!) ... just wish I could remember how much we charged 🤔

I know a lot of people smoked in the 70s but that is a bit much!

Thing is, the tobacco was entirely believable (if repulsive).

I'd also have believed the tobacco. Weren't Skoal Bandits hitting the British market around that time?
