I remember (early 1960's} the girls in the office were discussing what scampi was. I was interested because I hadn't a clue. The girls finally decided on bananas dipped in batter and fried. Sounded good to me.

There's a dish called Chicken Maryland which is a breadcumbed chicken breast served with a sweetcorn fritter and banana fritter ( can be breadcumbed or battered) and all shallow fried, and as a homage to the 70s I'm going to cook it this week, after a grilled half a grapefruit and before a cherries jubilee ?

in memoriam - 1965-2024
When me Dad was sent to Bristol, we didnt follow him for a few months. No idea why, maybe a house sale or he was on trial or sommet. Anyrate, we would travel down and stay in a sound Hotel in Bristol every couple of weekends, (the others, he came home).
I vividly remember going to a Berni Inn in an ancient pub called The Rummer, on the docks, and seeing those dishes mentioned, and they seemed so exciting! @ste d' indica Bet you didnt know The Rummer was the first Berni Inn!
On another trip he took us to an Italian, deep in the bowels of underground Bristol, on Park Street. I chose this weird thing called a lasagne, with a side salad, cos Mum said "It looks like mince and cheese, and you like both".
And that has just reminded me of Joey in Friends, eating Rachels mince based trifle! "Meat? Good. Custard? Good!"

Remember the habit of sticking half a matchstick in the other end of the cigar in an effort to draw the thick nicotine onto it rather than down your throat.
I did not know that!

I know the owner Brett, really nice place.
I'm thinking that Italian might be Sergio's on Frogmore Street? Its underneath Park St, sort of in the walls of the bridge.
