00:00We're bringing the 60s back to Blackpool, not that it really ever seemed to have left,

00:08which is why we feel so at home here, isn't it, Johnny?

00:10It's a fully mobile 1960s kitchen.

00:13Too mobile, some would say.

00:14Well, you would say, yes, and it's got all sorts of recipes from the 1960s, mainly mashed

00:19potato based.

00:20Shepherd's pie, but with an Inuit twist, with a lovely igloo of mashed potato, I hope you're

00:27getting that.

00:28Gravy goes down the seams.

00:29You can't go wrong, can you?

00:30There's some lovely whale bath there.

00:32We're based in Ambleside, but they're far too posh for this kind of stuff.

00:36No, they do like it here.

00:37So it's so nice to be out here on the seafront at Blackpool with our people.

00:42I went for a drink in the coffee shop.

00:44Free sugar, that's fantastic.

00:46You can also get ketchup as well.

00:49Love you, ladies.

00:50My favourite recipes tend to involve spam, actually, don't they, Johnny?

00:53Oh, yes, we've got some lovely recipes on our menu.

00:56Oh, there we go.

00:57Here we are.

00:58The ingredients is very versatile, of course, and it lasts you for 1,000 years, which I

01:03like, because you don't have to go down to the greengrocers.

01:06You can just stack this up in the cupboards, can't you?

01:08Yes, it's really got to be spam all the way.

01:10It goes with anything.

01:11Lima beans, mashed potatoes, mashed potato is the best one.

01:15Or chips, just to keep it simple.

01:16Or chips, yes, of course.

01:17Lovely.

01:18And how does that go down with the modern audience?

01:21Well, it goes down, hopefully it won't come back up again.

01:24Oh, you mean, yes, I think they're interested, aren't they?

01:27People are very keen to see some of the old recipes brought back.

01:30People are sick of food on slates and bits of wood.

01:33I know.

01:34And fancy stuff drizzled with other fancy stuff.

01:36Bring back the plates, that's what I say.

01:37That's what we say, yes.

01:38Bring back the spam.

01:39What kind of cooking oil do you use at home, Olly?

01:41Oh, I see.

01:42I see, that's fine.

01:43I knew she was posh.

01:44We have a bit of culture, a bit of danger, don't we?

01:47Yeah, so there's lots of cultures, mainly growing on the food.

01:50Four, three, two, one.

01:52Four, three, two, one.

01:53Four, three, two, one.

01:54Four, three, two, one.

01:55Four, three, two, one.

01:56Get the lid off.

01:57I can't get the lid off.

01:58Help him out, Pam.

01:59We have got our new food rating, which we're so pleased with.

02:02We're so proud.

02:03We're actually up from last year.

02:04Now we're up to minus one, but we were at about minus three, weren't we?

02:08We were, we were.

02:09So we're feeling very good.

02:11We are.

02:12Feeling positive about the future.

02:13We are.

02:14I'll have two more tries.

02:17Yes!

02:18In the wind, Pam!

02:19I hope somebody got that on camera.
