A few Google searches reveal that Gwen Marchant also wrote "It's Fun to Cook", "It's Fun to Bake", and "It's Fun to Cook Continental Dishes" (this one dated 1967). I also found a fundraising page in memory of Gwen Marchant 1922-2008, who may or may not be the same person, but the years make sense for the timing of the publication of the books.

There are many people who actively seek out things to be offended at. There's nothing wrong with putting any edible ingredient on pizza, just as there's really no wrong way to make a sandwich.

I love old cookbooks. I have my grans cookbook from the early 1950s when rationing was still in force. My gran has added handwritten noted to a lot of recipes, mainly relating to her extreme disapproval of margarine. (In later years my gran would make sandwiches that were more butter than bread, making up for all that rationing, she used to say)

It would be great to see a ‘dated retro food’ series like this.

Mr. Mike slapping down the pizza gatekeeping! LOVE IT!!!

I was talking to my dad yesterday and he was talking about food when he was growing up. He still remembers rationing and the years after very clearly. Of course, rationing only entitled you to buy something. It didn’t mean you could afford to do it. Good job they lived in the country where there were growing and forage options. We still use the cook books my family were using in the fifties and sixties. It’s shocking to compare to modern books where the ingredients are not only different things but there are cakes made with eight eggs! This would have been unheard of.

It used to be customary to have a baking session each week to have cake to keep in the tin for a cup of tea. The cakes used to be economical, and compared with modern cakes, really plain. My Grans fruitcake used to have one egg and only a handful of dried fruit.

When I was a boy, we used to make tiny pizzas out of English muffins, buying them and then covering them with sauce and our favorite toppings. I'm no Benson Hawking, but I think that recipe must be a descendant of this one. Laughed like mad at the Ark of the Covenant joke and the "cheesy napalm" lines by the way!

Don't call that pizza because it isn't. That's english muffins with pizza toppings on.

Corned beef dumplings (1:02) sounds like a really interesting dish, especially since the definition of what "dumplings" are is limited only by your imagination. I'm going to poke at this a little bit, since corned beef is the taste of the season here in the USA. Edit: as requested at 4:25 , I pronounce "scone" like "scone." This is probably because I have always been told that the pronunciation "scone" was reserved for the Stone of Scone and should only be used for the baked goods when the dough is overworked and they are therefore Scones of Stone.

I only ever need a few anchovy filets at a time for recipes, so whenever I open a tin, I lay them out in parallel on a sheet of cling film and top with another sheet, sealing them in-between individually. I keep the sheet accordion-folded in a zipper bag in the freezer, and then can easily cut off and peel open as many as I need at any given time. Great way to add flavor to sauces in the beginning; when cooking the garlic, tomato paste, etc.

Great idea! Thanks for that.

Always fascinating to flip through old books, but old recipes always seem to give a unique take on the ordinary lives of people at that time. I've got some older recipe books that my parents got when they first married. It's great to see how tastes and ingredients have evolved - also the language and the way the recipes are conveyed is so different. Some of the books have hand drawn illustrations instead of photographs, because I think that photographs would have been too expensive in my country at the time of publication. Recently I've been baking from a book that is only about 20 years old, for nostalgia sake (used to use it a lot as a teenager). Even though it's only 20 years, I cant help noticing that many of the recipes in there would now be considered 'old fashioned'. I would like to see you try some other recipes too, maybe from a different era or place if you're keen on that.

what am I missing in the pronunciation of 'scone'. everyone is just writing 'scone' without any intonation markers! I grew up pronouncing it as scOne.. long O sound. not the slightly short 'u' sound of scone... arrrhh. lol!

My best old school recipe is to cut sliced bread into rounds, roll with rolling pin to firm up, butter both sides of bread, pop each one in a greased bun tin so it automatically cooks as a mini dish, and then mix eggs and milk, add cheese, chopped tomato, ham, tuna, spring onion, olives, blue cheese, anything you have in the fridge really. Then you add filling first and top it up with the egg and milk mix. They cook like mini quiches, and are great hot or cold for picnics.

If anyone thinks "bean and bacon" pizza, or even the hotly-contested "ham and pineapple" pizza, is weird (Heinz at one point did actually make frozen baked beans pizzas, and they were delicious. To this day, one of my favourite post-pub meals is a cheese and tomato pizza with beans on top 🤣), I would like to introduce to you something that my Dad, bless him, invented and inflicted upon us as kids... Pilchard pizza. He would take a tin of pilchards in tomato sauce, mash it up in a bowl, and put that onto a home-made wholemeal deep-pan pizza base that was so thick you could technically class it as a loaf of bread. No cheese, no other toppings or herbs or spices, just tinned pilchards. Certainly a very cheap and healthy form of pizza, and that is all I'll say on the matter.

Liked the video, would love to see this becoming a semi-regular series on this channel!

I have an old book from the 60's, translated it's called The Modern Homemaker / housewife (originally it's in hungarian) it's basically a guide for young women on how to take care of the household. It has all sorts of tips for cleaning, decoration, home improvement, entertaining, and a recipe section. It's definitely of its time and the book is written in a bit of a preachy, condescending way but it was actually fun to read and see what was considered modern at the time. (Did you know it is desired to have a bathroom in the house/apartment? And at least a separate corner for kids to do their homework?) Some of the recipes are so weird to me and are quite heavy, even a light snack is bread with homemade pate, lard and egg yolks :))) but I'm going to try to make a recipe sometime just out of curiosity

That’s funny

My mum used to make savoury scone-based pizza all the time, but herby rather than cheesey, and full-size. Quicker and easier than a more traditional pizza dough. That was right up until about ten years ago, when she stopped cooking much. These days, my dad tends to make a normal dough in their breadmaker and they'll finish it off together. And we've definitely had beans on our pizza before! Also, it's "scone". You'll never catch me saying "scone"!

I would love to see more recipes from this book.

I love the idea of making this one of your series. I think it is interesting to see how cooking trends have changed in 50 plus years.

Love this venture into old recipes! I agree that mini ones would work better as party food. I suggest making the anchovy ones with green olives. They tend to be fruitier and less salty. For an authentic pizza topping, also maybe try thinly sliced potato with rosemary and a drizzle of olive oil.

So much common sense with this man .I love it ! ( common sense isn’t common these days ) 👏👏🌸

Sainsbury's cheese scones have been on my shopping list every week for about two years now I love them. I eat them on their own, no butter, everyone keeps telling me that I should slice and butter them but I don't feel the need if they're fine as they are. I don't think I'd be bothered to cook them from scratch though when I can buy for around £1.50, but, each to his own though as they say 👍🏻

As someone who doesn't like olives or pineapple im just happy someone else will eat it so I don't have to

That is a superb recipe. My children would love them. My Gran made little quiche tartletts with a short scone base. I think the filling was greyere cheese and smoked ham or lardons. Always a hit at the W.I. I would love to see some more recipes please! P.s. The leftover anchovies would be ace in a Shepherds Pie.

This is such an odd recipe at first but it makes sense when you really think about it.

I loved your pizza topping rant. I am one that doesn’t like pineapple or olives or anchovies. However the baked beans and bacon intrigues me.

As a non native English speaker I always relate words ending with e with a Latin origin and thus a more Latin pronunciation. So the way you pronounce it I would expect it to be spelled something like scon, skon, skan for example. But really English has such wide differences in pronunciation that really anything goes. So much so that people even confuse of and have.

I used to be a manager at a pizza chain, and one experiment my staff and I did on a quiet afternoon back in about 2010/2011 was a breakfast pizza, we had mushrooms, tomatoes, bacon and sausage as usual ingredients, and we split the cost of some beans, eggs and the pizza itself and gave it a go. I remember it being pretty good but it took ages for the egg to bake properly! I don't care for fish of any kind on my pizza, but I love ham and pineapple, usually with mushrooms too. But if you like those things, have them - just don't make me eat it 😅

I'd really like it if you made a series out of this cookbook and any other derivative recipes you come up with because of it. I really like historical cooking and seeing recipes from the past. I watch another channel called Townsend that does something similar with cookbooks from the 1800s so I find it enjoyable to see a different time period represented. I also like how you show how things are done and how accessible your recipes are. It leaves me feeling I could actually try the things you do rather than feeling like I have to have a degree in cooking to even think of using an oven. Other channels that show cooking are so intimidating, but yours is relaxing.

A series out of this would be amazing. Seeing the difference to todays recipes is really interesting even though 1965 isnt even that far away from 2022

I LOVE older cookbooks like this. The black & white photos of the food can sometimes be disturbing. Lol My family used to make something very similar to this recipe. So, thank you you the memories. ❤ And of course, I pronounce it SCONE and never SCONE like any sensible person would....😄

Great tip re the jam jar. A scone base for pizza instead of bread is very useful if you're short of time, or don't have any yeast. I've used it a few times.

I am so grateful for you. Seriously. I've had a hard day and I can't just sit alone with my thoughts, but I need something... calm, to put on. Every time I feel this way I know I can come here. It's a lifetime of you being you which brings you here to make content which helps me. And that's such a blessing.

Do you pronounce it "scone" or do you pronounce it "scone". I enjoy your wit Mike. It's the little things in life for me.

Oh a sweet scone with lemon curd, yum. Yes please do turn this in a series, sounds like fun.

I am unexplainably excited for this recipe book! I have a recipe book from the 1890's from my great great (great?) grandmother and I cherish it. Might need to copy it all onto a digital form soon because the paper is becoming so fragile but I just LOVE older cook books

Love old cooking recipes. I have some example ones in the "British Empire Dictionary 1889". Along with some.....odd...entries. Anyway, coming from the Midlands I always said Scone as Scone and not Scone. Although when I make Scones (Scones) they don't hang around much as they're always Scone. Also no dried mustard? Cor, they were real paupers.

Dried mustard in your cheese scones (scones) is a must

I say it as 'scone' but my mother prefers saying 'scone'. I've tried pronouncing it as 'scone' or 'scone' too, but it just didn't stick.

These scones look really good . If you make more recipes from this book I'll make sure to watch . Thanks for this video .

Loving this! Please keep this series going, I found this very entertaining.

When I was growing up (in New Zealand), the lowest of the low in terms of pizza creation was a scone dough base topped with tinned spaghetti, cheese and onion (and ham + pineapple if you were fancy).

I have a similar German cook book and the recipes are so different... All the ones with meat sound quite good and elaborated to me, but the "exotic" ones are... strange. I am curious to try them but at the same time afraid of wasting food. For instance, one recipe is gratinated bananas with cheese and ham. Of course, this COULD work out, sweet and cheese is often a good one. But I am absolutely not sure...

Fellow German here and that is something, I haven't seen yet. Fruit in savory dishes is often very tasty, but bananas specifically...hm. They just don't keep their texture very well and get kinda mushy and slimy when heated too much. Now pineapple with bacon and cheese, that's a different matter.

I can see that work out. You just wrap the banana in a slice of ham and grate the cheese on top? I've had banana curry, banana on a burger (with Sriracha), grilled banana … yeah, sounds like it should be good.

Ever had bananas with curry powder baked in a pan? a staple at home at that time (70s-80s). I am sure bacon and ham works great with bananas.

@@raraavis7782 What if bananas from whatever years ago that recipe is from weren’t the ones we get in supermarkets today and were actually plantains, cooking bananas.

Wrote first and scrolled then to find fellow Germans. Have three of those books. It probably depends on your relation to these recipes. I ignored the books for long because of similar reasons as you. But this video inspired me to try some for memories. I took the books from my grandparents after their death.

Awesome video 📹 Thanks Mr Shrimp. I actually made scone based pizza in school (around 1991). My mum was outraged as she thought teaching us to make proper dough would have been more useful as a life lesson 🤷‍♀️ Maybe my home economics teachers got the recipe from this book 🤔 Would live a retro recipe series 👍

I really enjoy these older recipes videos. Thanks for trying this.

Ooh I would love this to turn into a series 😍 I might have to attempt these tbh!

I say scOWN but scON is fine with me as long as those buggers taste good. 😋 I really like these types of videos from old cookbooks. There is a KZreadr I watch (Glen and friends cooking) that does a lot of recipes from old cookbooks. It's fascinating to see how modern cuisines evolved from previous techniques, taste preferences or even necessities. I'd love to see more of these types of videos from you Mr. Shrimp.

I had never heard "scon" until today

That was highly enjoyable to watch. Thank you, Mr Shrimp.

thats a very interesting recipe and i enjoyed watching you do it i always liked watching any kind of cooking

I love thumbing through these books especially gelatin sections which had meat gelatins, vegetable gelatins and some other weird looking stuff.

My family usually pronunce it as "scone" but in my ears "scone" sounds much better!

Love this video. I love seeing old recipes to try. Id love to see more recipes from the book. These are like the cookbooks i used to read at my grams house growing up.

Another fantastic video thank you so much. I'm going to try this out

Good morning x I remember the first pizza I made, my moms frying pan, olives and anchovies. Taste is unique, food 🚨 police, Get lost, lol. They look delicious 😋

This recipe was still being taught in school in the mid 1980s (UK) Memories!

We got this in the 90s also. 30yrs later still make them here and there, jus better than Diddy me did.

I badly need to acquire a copy of this cook book. I love retro recipes! Thank you for the video!

This reminds me of the bagel pizzas we'd make when I was a kid. It was a recipe from a Strawberry Shortcake cookbook.

The first pizza I had was mum making scone pizza in the 1970s. She was considered a racey cook as she deviated from bog standard fayre normal in Lancashire at that time. I loved it !

What's the fastest cake in the world? Scone Only half the people reading get this joke

Ace.

We do something very similar with what we call “English muffins” here in the states, and it’s one of my favorite snacks ever. It’s just a split muffin with some sauce, cheese, and either some crumbled sausage or pieces of thick-cut pepperoni. It used to be an every other day after school snack for me, especially since I often had sports after school and needed the boost in calories to keep myself going up to dinner.

Thanks for that fun little recipe. With the crazy times we are facing those retro recipes are going to be very useful.
