Steam on the windows, a lid lifting, and Mum making the shopping stretch one more night. Forty suppers from a 1970s British kitchen, one dish each, and you will know most of them by smell.
This video counts down forty one-dish dinners, from stuffed marrow and rabbit stew to bubble and squeak, toad-in-the-hole and the pie with the fork marks on top. Along the way: the year the pound went decimal, the three-day week, and what happened to a pint of milk in 1975.
Which dish did your mum make that isn't on the list? And be honest, did you eat the kidney?
