dear Raymond Blanc, how in the world do you only have 6000+ subscribers? you should literally have many many more. I'm an American and remember watching a series about great chefs from back in the 80's-90's. Watching your enthusiasm is infectious. Thank you for loving what you do.
We had two varieties of plums on our property when I was a kid. The more water I gave them, the more fruit was produced. They were miniature plums, the size of cherries, and black plums that were so sweet when they ripened. They were delicious and there were plenty for our family and many others. Foods do not need to be complex or spicy to be good.
Occasionally, the wild plum on my property decides to have lots of plums. It's not every year, but when they come...they are amazing. Tasty. So different and better than the grocery store ones.
Raymond I may be one of your biggest fans! I am a Greek and I love to cook myself and I really like you because you are genuine and such a nice person :D I watch your videos every evening when I have time after work! Inspirational!
I once rented a house on an acre which had a plum tree off the deck in the back, every spring, the raccoons would bring thwie babies to climb up the tree and have a great spring plum fling along! there was no way we could use all the plumss that tree produced and we enjoyedwatching the babies so much we didn't try to stop it, I miss them, and that place very much!
British and Irish food is as good as any other in the world. From fish to meat and fantastic veg. We need to grow and use more of our own produce. Sit at the table every night. Eat, talk and enjoy great food.
The plum farmers should have a u-pick farm, plus plums jams, pies etc. Have a tractor pulling a wagon with hay and give the ppl a ride. Think outside the box. Contact chefs to buy your quality plums. It takes effort and energy. Don't give up. Good luck.
I was hoping to hear about the British plum variety called Damson (which also grow wild in Europe and Eastern Europe) but there was no mention. Damson plums are very sour but make a very delicious jam (preserves) and of course a terrific "home brew" brandy. Slivovitz brandy is made from this variety of plums and can be potent.
The successful plum grower mentioned [in says in passing at 13:00] a very good point... '40mm and up'. The Brits [and influenced by the retailer] have an obsession with homogeneity and standardisation of fruit and veg. WHY? We all come in all shapes and sizes, some ugnly [but tasty], some massive and over perfect and still good. On the contienent you see all shapes and sizes, loose in boxes and not packed and over packed and sealed in plastic. Also, with a much shorter field to fork when stock is rotated daily. In Poland they for example they scoop them from boxes by the Kg, daily, in season. Just look over the channel guys. Europeans do it better in this respect! and others.
When India was under british rule, the britsh almost forced the consumers to buy their industry products by decimating or destroying indigenious crafts. The government was british, the industry was britsh and both were one and the same. Now britain is facing a similar, not indentical, situation. Local produce and crafts must be given the first try, foreign alternatives should be used only if they are better, economical and sustainable.
Erm, if you mean flooding the market with more efficiently produced things because India fell to the military might of a company, not a nation, you are right. Britain doesn't need to worry about being efficient in the plum market, because it is very efficient at several much more globally significant markets, which is why 64 million British people produce more that over 1 billion Indians.
haroldfrogspawn what are u on about u mong.. ‘it fell to the military might of a company’?? Get your head out of your arse lol British colonial rule was nothing less than genocidal, and raped a wealthy nation til it became a 3rd world cesspool. And as for ‘for flooding the market with ‘more efficiently produced things’ (whatever the fuck that’s supposed to mean) go look up how the British destroyed indian looms and cut the thumbs of the spinners off so they could no longer work.
James Green: India was literally controlled by a company for 101 years between 1757-1858. Go and look up Samual Compton to realize how much more efficient British manufacturing was. You need to be a little bit more correct if you're going to be so rude my friend.
A man reads one book thinks he is an expert then argues online. He can't actually argue with them because they're right. Does that sound familiar? I love seeing the Dunning Kruger effect in action.
Raymond deserves 100x these subscriptions

unbogosse Damson still grow wild in England and wild yellow pulms you just need to know where to find them and there free
Clarissa used damsons in the episode on pork. (Great British Food Revival)
I'm giving thumbs up but allow me to frown a bit: "Europe AND Eastern Europe"? Thanks...
My high echelon of famous chefs:
1) Marco Pierre White
2) Raymond Blanc
3) Pierre Koffmann
I like the way u cook it is interesting

❤️
Can I ask you after you made this how you use it ? It’s strange using plums with onions and vinegar and sugar🤪🤪🤪🤪
verdadeiro artista da técnica culinária. Comida com alma e felicidade,
2:40 - I want one of those coats! Mr. Blanc has good taste in clothing, as well.

nice garden
My mam leaves the stones in for the pectin, then counts them out until she has them all.
Sir Raymond Blanc i think
Monsieur Blanc sounds like the voice of Pere Noel.
ze british revival of plums
I like the irony of a native Frenchman telling the British they ought to get back to their culinary heritiage.
11:34 There are less and less plum orchards in this country, that's a-fucked.
When India was under british rule, the britsh almost forced the consumers to buy their industry products by decimating or destroying indigenious crafts. The government was british, the industry was britsh and both were one and the same.

The Ghastly Boiled British Food Revival?
There is no british food. most of the ingredients used came from overseas
British gastronomy is insipid and dull compared to Mediterranean and Asian gastronomy in terms of quality,variety,flavours,textures,recipes.
No it isn't . Thats absolute nonsense.
alright brit
Why, why be so negative? Do you need a hug?
@@snotrat2 it is i can assure you am Mediterranean you don't have cuisine
agree with you 100/100
This is horrible
