I love watching them cook and explore, but the thing that makes it sublime is the constant stream of anecdotes, banter, and song. The two of them couldn't be boring if they tried.
Clarissa says the most outrageous things with such honest - wanting to poison her father, her grandmother making the family fortune on her back and so on - so refreshing to be so frank.
I think her claim that she had sex behind the Speaker's chair in the House of Commons was incredible. I wonder what her late Baroness Boothroyd or John Bercow would think about that claim.
Did you hear? Men in Dresses and Lipstick can now work as Camp Head-Master to GO AWAY with Your Teenage Boy, and as the camp fire crackels, that Man can inform in the Delights of ALTERNATIVE Moralities, while You foolishly thought the Camp Getaway was about rubbing two sticks together....Well, It sort of indirectly IS, ISN'T IT?!
These two were the Jeeves and Wooster of cooking, and I mean that in the best possible way! Their playful banter and witty conversations call to mind that most enduring of duos. I'm so pleased to be able to enjoy this show all over again!
"My grandmother, who founded the family fortunes on her back..." Clarissa would cut at her family with ease; talk about spilt tea😮lol! But she did have a hard time with pops. Loved them both. R.I.P. lovelies 💓
@@RedStrikerBeetleborg fly agaric! Deadly poison! Clarissa was correct! If you don't know what you are doing as far as mushrooms are concerned then leave them alone!
Even "safe" mushrooms may not be safe for everybody. Those shaggy ink caps grow around where I work, and one day we were partaking of some at the office. Everybody was just fine ... except for me. I was facing a 3-4 hour drive after work, going on a short vacation to catch some Shakespeare, and instead I was hit with a gastric disaster that delayed my departure, and I think I only reached my destination through sheer mind over matter. It was awful. I stayed away from those mushrooms after that until, one day several years later I stumbled upon a patch of them among some trees next to another building we'd moved to. I stopped, backed away, and returned to the office -- but shortly after that I had a not-as-harsh case of the same symptoms that nearly destroyed my little trip before. Just getting close to those shaggy ink caps was enough to mess me up.
I must post! Absolutely adore these two Goddesses of gourmet. Thank you Clarissa, Jennifer, their team, and you Negresti for these lovely lovely episodes. I'm trying to drink in every morsel of delicious information. Just wonderful!
I feel lucky to have just discovered these two gems. I will be rewatching this show forever, and I'll look up their books I'm assuming they both have authored.
I adore these two fabulous ladies. I saw them on the Food Network here in America for the first time and I was hooked. There was no one like them and their chemistry with one another was sublime. They were both intelligent and witty but in different ways which is why it worked so well. I've seen all their shows and I still watch them 20 yrs later thanks to channels like this. Thanks Negresti Sonicx :o)
Thank you for uploading these fabulous videos! There are millions of people who have the scripts, scenes, totally memorized. The Food Network and all that is a pale comparison to these fabulous women. Nothing in America can even hope to equal this BBC series. There are no American cooks with the background, humor, and unequaled cooking skills, to compete with these two! This series was a "one off", never to be repeated.
This program was so interesting and the "2 fat ladies" made the program so entertaining. Clarissa loved her field sports also and defended her right to hunt, both ladies were somewhat eccentric also; I think Jennifer more-so!
I make this version of French onion soup so many times. It’s FANTASTIC. The steak sandwich is equally as delicious and I’ve made the two together. Outstanding. I’ve never made a recipe from these two wonderful women that doesn’t turn out to beautifully! Miss them dearly.
Did you make it with "leftover Stilton"? There's no such thing at my house as "leftover Stilton". The whole wedge disappears -- num num num num num -- down to the last trace of a micro-crumb.
I tried the muttachar recipe pretty much as described, only I poached the eggs directly in the curry. It was fantastic and I'm going to make it for dinner again.
Jennifer says "Let's return to a town soon." Sounds JUST like something I said when camping in the woods long ago. "Can we go back to Houston now?" LOL
that story where Clarissa introduces her indian style eggs dish is the most English thing i have ever heard, love these ladies, they remind me of home and my childhood, though mine was less posh
I remember being in my teens when I watched this show, it was a program I didn't dare tell any of my peers, I mean being male in school, watching Two Fat Ladies who do cooking, not exactly something to boast about. Still I adore this show, Jennifer and Clarissa were just two wonderful people who were just a joy to have around. Could imagine lunch with them would have been excellent company to have. The chemistry these two had was wonderful, but furthermore. They were two women who just enjoyed life, No politics, no feminism, no pretentions. Now that both Clarissa and Jennifer have passed on, I appreciate them even more, especially in the world we live in now. Now I am unshamed to show my love for this program, I just feel so much better after watching these two, My only regret is I have never had the privilage of having lunch with these two wonderful people. I hope the afterlife was the start of a new gastronomic adventure for you both, you are dearly missed Clarissa and Jennifer. When I die, I am making a meal for both Clarissa and Jennifer, as well as the also late Keith Floyd, oh what a lovely feast it would be.
Funny Frank, I'm just re-watching these again & was chatting with a friend earlier saying what a pity it was that Jennifer & Clarissa never got together to cook with Keith Floyd. It would have been wonderful, gastronomic chaos. Think the only chef that's come close to them in recent years is Valentine Warner.
Still, the ladies urged to pray to St. Peter, but it is written. Acts 10: 25 "And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him 26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man."
God rest these two amazing, beautiful and hilarious ladies! I love when Jennifer calls Clarissa an old toughie! 😂Much love and I look forward to cooking with you both in heaven. 💕
Oh my, that trout looked good. The best way to cook it, in foil, in its own juices. Superb! Not at all sure, delicious as all those dishes are, that your average boy scout would be queueing up for that kind of fayre. But hey, it was a long time since I was a boy scout!
Watch out for finding mushrooms and inviting your former in-laws over for dinner,then serving Beef Wellington,Aussies will know what I'm talking about.🤣🇦🇺
This was the first episode I ever saw. I kept thinking about that whole steak in the hollowed-out bread loaf and those hard-boiled eggs sitting half-immersed in a pool of yellow curry.
Love how they low key warn you not to go for the red mushrooms 🍄. They do this sort of thing in all the episodes. Whether they warn you or suggest something new it’s fabulous how they build that into the show.
I think back fondly to the time when I was a cub learning the simple measures that would help me be a good man. All but destroyed in our current society. Hope the children in Ukraine are safe.
The speech at @8:26 gives Dr. Evils shaving Story a run for being one of the craziest assortments of unlikely to be combined sentences I have ever heard. This one happens to be, for all we know, absolutely true. By golly, this universe is a strange place!
I love that Clarissa was usually active and got her hands dirty, like when digging the hole, while Jennifer was like me, sitting on the sidelines letting others do the grunt work :-P
@@zarachastellaris9016 No they're not mosquitoes but are similar in annoyance. They are a two winged fly from a different biological family and look more like a fly than a mosquito.
I’m from Tennessee and I’m in my 20’s, but somehow I found this show when I was in elementary school and used to looove watching it until I graduated high school and moved out (and no longer had access to Direct TV lol). These ladies are just incredible! I’m so happy to have found them again! A few years ago I discovered Hyacinth’s antics in Keeping Up Appearances. I know they’re technically very different (silly sitcom vs educational cooking show), but the wit, charm, banter, fuzzy video quality, and super posh accents give me a very similar cozy feeling. If anyone has any recommendations for any other shows to add to my cozy list, please let me know ❤
I love watching them cook and explore, but the thing that makes it sublime is the constant stream of anecdotes, banter, and song. The two of them couldn't be boring if they tried.
Wishing they could have gone on for many more seasons. The most entertaining cooking show ever.
Clarissa says the most outrageous things with such honest - wanting to poison her father, her grandmother making the family fortune on her back and so on - so refreshing to be so frank.
Indeed her father was a famous surgeon yet simultaneously had personality disorders and abused the family.
I love both of them
I think her claim that she had sex behind the Speaker's chair in the House of Commons was incredible. I wonder what her late Baroness Boothroyd or John Bercow would think about that claim.
@@kurtishall9492i honestly think she either had a very vivid imagination or very intense dream 🤣
Read her book “Spilling the Beans”. It was a hoot !
Jennifer: "Rub two boy scouts together"
Clarissa : "Shush!"
Lol
LOL, I caught that too, if she'd said that now she'd have been sacked on the spot!
Lol i was like uhhhh what?
People are too tender today..

The young Scout putting ketchup on the trout at the end made me laugh harder than I have in a while
Why? To each his own.

TheSapphireDragon1 I did that. Nothing wrong with it
Wish I'd thought of it too!
I thought about it, but not for a blood relative.😉
Both of them passed away ? I thought it was just one of them. I enjoy their cooking shows
@@ottovonjizzmark I'm so glad I'm not your dad.
I remember watching and appreciated this show back when I was a teenager. I think I can appreciate it even more now as an adult.
Yes, they are talking. I love the way they talk about knowledge and friendship.
Ditto
"The thing is with mushrooms, unless you specifically want to poison someone, if you don't know them leave them alone." The things Clarissa says! LOL
what was that red mushroom Jennifer was about to pick up?
@@RedStrikerBeetleborg fly agaric! Deadly poison! Clarissa was correct! If you don't know what you are doing as far as mushrooms are concerned then leave them alone!
@@zarachastellaris9016 not deadly unless you eat a lot of them but they make you hallucinate. Foxes like to eat them for some reason
@@zarachastellaris9016 not deadly if you know what you're doing, in small doses they're a great high.

I love that Clarissa teaches the Scouts a valuable lesson on cooking in the wild in a fun and interactive way.

I made the shooters sandwich and its delicious....I used a good piece of sirloin and cooked it medium rare
My friend said he ate that sammich for dinner last night. He sent me this link to show me. And here I am.
Always loved watching Jennifer and Clarissa..their food, stories, humor, beautiful places all over.
I am new to the genius of these two amazing women. Thank you for uploading these shows!
Love Love these 2 ladies. I hope they are still making shows in Heaven! Can't wait to catch up with them there.
This is one of my favourite episodes. Totally the first Tv evidence of GLAMPING.
I absolutely love watching this series. It always makes me smile 😊
God rest these two amazing, beautiful and hilarious ladies! I love when Jennifer calls Clarissa an old toughie! 😂Much love and I look forward to cooking with you both in heaven. 💕
Two wonderful amazing women. I love them dearly. I miss them dearly.
Love the crack about the medical profession. Spot on Clarissa. She'd be horrified at today's crap!!!!!🙄
Indeed so. As should MORE people.
Love that Teeny Little Super Guy style intro...and Jennifer's singing voice is always a delight.
"A long piece of strrrrrring!" :D
Clarissa makes the darkest jokes. Or maybe they’re not? Searching for mushrooms to poison her father? Dark. Love it.
By all accounts her father was an alcoholic who was verbaly and physically abusive to his wife and children
That is what I thought! I can't blame her!
And i wouldn't have blamed her, poor girl!!!!!🙄
2024 and am still watching them! ❤❤❤😅
I adore these two wonderful ladies.
'Well that's very good, I'm glad for you, but you're not getting it today'

Jennifer is wearing a Sovereign Military Order of Malta apron.
my guess is she earned it
She was granted it by being an exemplary Catholic and contributed to many charitable organizations.
I have their collection on DVD, but I've never seen this one! Gives me hope that there are more I've never seen. Best cooking show ever! 💜
This was the first episode I ever saw. I kept thinking about that whole steak in the hollowed-out bread loaf and those hard-boiled eggs sitting half-immersed in a pool of yellow curry.
“SIX EGGS” I love how she said this😁😁

That poor scout at 3:41 didn't get to finish going to the bathroom.
Slinky Sableferret wow how did you ever spot that. I’ve watched this maybe 10 times over the years. Hilarious!!!!
Or get a chance to wash his hands!
@@andreaferrell6837 Jennifer would have approved. She didn't care for over zealous hygiene
I love watching the ladies❣ They remind me of my grandma and aunt making a family dinner, with much the same kind of banter.
Something tells me the "trout from the Lua" didn't quite go to plan...
I made one of those sandwiches but I stuffed mine with a Boy Scout
That steak and mushroom loaf is something else ....
I know….that’s what is was thinking.🤣 Looks rather complicated for everyday too.
I think back fondly to the time when I was a cub learning the simple measures that would help me be a good man. All but destroyed in our current society. Hope the children in Ukraine are safe.
“Rub two Boy Scouts together…”
“Shush!”
😂😂😂😂
My God that steak and mushroom sandwich yes yes yes
Lordy, they were adorable
" rub two boy scouts together" hush" 😄😄😄

Those mushrooms look amazing
I love the lids they use to hold seasoning, I kind of used these episodes as a reference for shopping for my kitchen

"Build a fire by rubbing two boy scouts together", prophetic words i think.
That's quite a lot of onions in this particular episode. I really wish I loved onions.
Fantastic ladies ❤❤👍👍
I love watching these two....
I must wonder what became of those scouts.
Throw that on the ground as we have ground haha..
They were two amazing women.
8:41 "Her second husband Ezekiel"
Just great.
My favorite episode
I was in my late 20s when I first watched these episodes, and now I'm older than Clarissa was when she started. Still love the show.
Excellent! 🏕
STOCK MIXED WITH BEER The world's manliest drink
Not unlike a michelada in Mexico!
I always thought the both of them were old ladies but Clarissa was only about 49 and a lot younger than Jennifer.
I know we taste like pork... I haven't heard the expression, "long pig" in years! LOL... love that!
Wow it took 22 minutes before they used a big lump of butter.bit slow today ladies
I love the end.
The best ❤️
"Goodnight, Jennifer." Goodnight, Clarissa." Goodnight, dear ladies...
1:23 they've stumbled upon a truly bewitching patch. fly agaric my word!
Lots of them in the Pacific Northwest. They are amazing visually when you spot them
Love this!
19:01 ... Clarissa: "I don't like dark brown onion soup--" Jennifer: "I do!! 🙃" Clarissa: *So You Have Chosen Death...*
Loved these girls they sure can cook they crack me up I have their dvds I still miss Jennifer RIP
Clarissa also died, in 2014
"Rub two boy scouts together"
"Shoosh"! 😅
