The 60's Party on Wordpress TV

These are my film recommendations, but there is more choice for you on 60's party in Pinterest.  Click the links below.

Saturday 23 March

BBC4 One Night In The 60's - Late Night Line Up


The 60's food option with this TV program is fondue, great if you have guests round for a party.

Fanny Cradock Invites You to a Cheese and Wine Party (1970) | BBC
This video is one year after the 60's but it has the fondue recipe which is probably the same recipe I would guess.

The Entertainer - Tony Richardson | 1960



This film is an insight into the British seaside in the 1960's, you may remember it, or like me not even know about it.

The 60's food option I gleaned from this film is fish and chips and champagne.  This is one of the day off options.  As fish and chips are cooked in vegetable oil these days, they are not as unhealthy as when they were cooked in lard.  They are actually 860 calories a portion. 

The City of the Dead 1960

 (Patricia Jessel, Dennis Lotis, Christopher Lee)  


Had to recommend this film also as never seen it before and loved the 60's vibe running through it.

Have to recommend this film as I love carry-on films

Sunday Night Food Options


This I would serve with a high-quality roast beef joint (hopefully beef will come back soon) and a 60's red wine that goes with beef.  You would start with sherry.

Fanny Craddock offers other roast dish alternatives such as lamb or pork

Filed more recipes from the 60's and found a you tuber making duck a l'orange and prawn cocktail.  Can get the big time Gwen thing now in Fear of Fanny on 70's party.  I'm not a foodie so I'd finish with a chocolate dish, especially as it is one night off in slimming calendar ~ either that or do beef instead of duck if that goes with chocolate.

(This year we are doing Chicken Mcdonald on Saturday and fish and chips, eclair and champagne on Sunday, then whatever alcohol we can get.

Hopefully next year I will be cooking both evenings and have a fully stocked drinks cabinet).

I also recommend Carnival of Souls as it accompanies tonight's selection of 60's Hammond organ

Carnival of Souls

Mary Henry ends up the sole survivor of a fatal car accident through mysterious circumstances. Trying to put the incident behind her, she moves to Utah and takes a job as a church organist. But her fresh start is interrupted by visions of a fiendish man. As the visions begin to occur more frequently, Mary finds herself drawn to the deserted carnival on the outskirts of town. The strangely alluring carnival may hold the secret to her tragic past.

 A SUMMER HOLIDAY PARTY ABROAD This idea is something just about everyone wants I would guess.  The dream destinations will obviously vary, but it is one of the reasons we work hard so we can travel to sunnier climes than Britain and have well-earned rest and luxury. Saturday Food The idea is either: 70's buffet party, which could include Swedish food.    Not sure if Ikea is back fully yet, but when it is there are loads of party ideas available.  I actually once impressed a snobby foody by making  hors d'œuvre  from Ikea products, shocked myself but it did.  Suppose I did get Home Economics at school.  Until Ikea is back you can just get whatever there is at the supermarket. Then serve with a 70's alcohol like Mateus or Cinzano or of course Swedish vodka.  Found two beers at Ikea so maybe it will be back soon.  We used to buy a lot of their alcohol. pinterest.com/saphireblack/homemaker-tips/an-august-summer-holiday-abroad-party/ or...

A September Island Holiday I got this idea from Japanology. Then thought of Island Holidays around the world. I find this subject a challenge as someone like me isn't supposed to dream of holidaying beyond designated holiday destinations within my class or status. I moved from working class to middle class and not sure what I am now. Have studied this one as for instance Japan is classed as an Island which I didn't know. Britain is an Island but I did that with British June. Ireland is an Island independent of Britain. Decided to feature this instead. Another place I'd like to visit.  A tarot friend of yore recommended Dublin and The Crowley deck ~ she was right about the Tarot deck. Also, we love Irish coffee ~ you can also make calypso coffee. Saturday food Japanese or Hawaiin Japanese  I would recommend Wagamma, which is a Japanese restaurant or Hawaiin https://uk.pinterest.com/saphireblack/a-september-island-holiday/saturday-hawaiin/ If you are struggling to get food yo...
