Beef or Mushroom Stroganoff.
Goulash.

(I have made both of these in the last week)

Sherry trifle (though mostly just at Christmas)

Actually, according to This list of retro recipes there are quite a few foods which were all the rage in the 1970s which I still cook today ... lasagne, chilli, cauliflower mornay, moules mariniere etc

Chicken a la King, oh my god, my mum used to make that all the times. We used to call it Chicken a la Mrs. King after the friend she always made it for.

Oh I love a good sherry trifle! What was that thing they used to do at Wimpys way into the 80s (and for all I know they may still do it...)? Something like Brown Derby? Sounds unlikely...

What are they? It sounds like a schoolboy euphemism for women with large breasts.

It was called a Brown Derby and I suppose it was meant to look something like that restaurant. It was a doughnut with choccy sauce and nuts. I seem to remember it being delicious and would probably eat one now if there was a Wimpy in the vicinity.

That list is great CJ. Vol-a u-vents!

And (something I do still eat) Trout with Almonds. With chips! Lovely.

It's interesting how so many of the recipes involve the use of butter and cream - the 1970s must have been the Cholesterol Decade.
