I'm not a cook - 8 - 1970's Dinner Party

Back in the 1970’s if you were invited to a dinner party at a friend’s house, or you had friends over for dinner at your house it would usually be a three course meal. A starter, a main course and a dessert. 
The typical starter I have chosen from that era is a simple prawn cocktail, a British invention from the 1960’s. 
The classic dessert I have chosen is Black Forest Gateaux, a German invention, which can be bought from a local store making it cheaper and easier, saving time and effort, you will have enough to do without making desserts. 
To complete the international flavour of this dinner party I have chosen for the main course my simpler and less expensive version of one of the great classic dishes of the world which was created by French master chef Antonin Careme and named after his great friend the Italian composer Gioachino Rossini, Tournedos Rossini.
