That was brilliant! Carluccio, the famous Italian chef, at his original restaurant in Neal's Yard, Covent Garden, displayed a sign in the window: "We only serve steaks rare. We do not serve prawn cocktail".
I loved it when they learned something new from each other. Even if you’re an expert, there’s always something you can learn from someone else if you’re humble enough.
They're not really dead, as long as we remember them..... I know, I quoted Dr. McCoy (played in Star Trek by the late, very great DeForest Kelly.... I'm sure I spelled his surname right!)on that! 😍
I always love seeing these videos over and over again. These ladies live in my heart year after year. So comforting and I love watching them create wonderful dishes. ❤
How much I miss you both. Fond memories watching you years ago and making me laugh and no silly business about vegetarian this,vegan that. Please come back.💗
I happened onto your site purely by accident looking for British great Turkey Christmas Dinners but have watched several of these videos and fell in love with this series. I love to cook and always dream up finger food but will rarely get to try them out
jennifer paterson's billowy tops with the split up the back are terrific, i mean i'm convinced she had a favored tailor she went to with stacks of shirts and said be a dear and put a vent in these because i can't imagine a shop stocking them
@@withonelook1985 the splits made them easier to get on! When I was a CNA at a nursing home, the daughter of one of the bedbound residents has split all the backs of her shirts to make it easier for us to dress her!
The Beef Wellington recipe that Jennifer prepares in this episode is taken almost straight from another famous chef/cook... the late Julia Child... So she was in good company!
I LOVE Fiddle Faddle! Nuke a couple of cups in the microwave just to be able to shape it into a ball. Add a pinch of cinnamon, freshly grated nutmeg and a pinch of allspice. The spices, combined with the rich, buttery flavour of the Fiddle Faddle, makes for a delightful Christmas treat.
I was visiting the UK when the first episode aired just before I left. It was some time before the show was aired in Australia and I could continue watching the two ladies. Still really entertaining today - somehow posh but ordinary though with tales of extraordinary lives. Quite complex !!
That encounter was rehearsed over the phone at least for at least a week i bet!!! But never mind, i understand jennifer wanted to be an actress as well as a circus performer. The entertainment value was top notch always. Jennifer and Clarissa Forever!!!! I wish someone would post theyre interview with Leno!!!
It's amazing how all these old programs still give us so much magic...hope RUclips taking good note. . Don't want to watch c... of lots of celebrities who really don't contribute anything worthwhile!!
At 2 mins 40 secs, you'll see cruising past Saint Paul's Cathedral, a graphite grey Volvo 1800S, the model of car driven by that other Saint, the late Sir Roger Moore. Not many left on our roads these days. RIP Sir Roger!!
Hi Mike! Thanks so much for taking the trouble to comment. Yes, it's one and the same - but when he was in training for his incarnation as James Bond!!! 'The Saint' is available on CDs in boxed sets of the complete monochrome and colour series... Kindest regards and all good wishes, Peter A
wurlitzer895 Thanks mate, I never knew Sir Roger had other roles. Well chap,cheerio as you nice folks across the pond would say,or bye as us Americans would say.
These two wouldve been political anti government activists had they lived another decade each....the little jabs at authority here went over my head years ago. Being older i love them more now i get the inuendo and jokes and jabs!!! I sear so much of my personality came from watching these two growing up...a blessing and curse 😁👍🤣
LMAO.... how this opening shows the Damage that the E.U.C.-- by their 'Pinky-in-the-Air' effete Rules and Regulations, did upon the British Culture. Spot on Girls!
Its more efficient than the awkward American manner of constantly switching knife and fork. It not just the Brits that have these table manners is Europe on a whole. Besides it is the only efficient way to get peas on your fork.
That place looks like Tartaria. So many magnificent buildings all over the world like that are overlooked from that time period with no investigation by current day people. Jennifer mentions Strawberry breasts casually, when fascist emperors, the Ottoman empire & the Vatican ALL persecuted Christians as a matter of fact. Their believers still DO. But Jennifer being an old school Vatican Catholic would never admit that - I'd like to think MAYBE this wasn't a slight to that poor woman who was tortured.
My friend and I LOVE this show but one time i couldnt remember the name of it so I called it Two Bitches in the Kitchen and now that is what we lovingly call it every time.
I love When Clarissa sees Peter I love this show being from London and being a transwomen they were icons for me they were so blasé and didn’t care but they had one thing in common a lot of food and a lot of parties and the art of displaying food And different cultures how I miss the 90s
@@call_in_sick it might bot have anytning to do with you but my mum worked on set and as a trans woman all my memories of strong women helps me be the woman I am that’s why I love Clarissa and Jennifer because they were strong. They were smart but they were loving and there are a lot of trans women out there not just trans people LGBT community that look at the two fat ladies as amazing woman
@ pause me. I was very sleepy when I wrote this comment. I said it was really important to me as a trans woman. I forgot to say my mum worked on the TV series and shows like absolutely fabulous murderous horrid the two fat ladies they were such a role model for me they were glamorous. They said it how it isand they are a big part of the LGBTQ community.
I wonder why Clarissa quit being a barrister/lawyer? I heard her mention hangovers so did she used to drink a lot? Some of the food with anchovy pate or ugly fishy smelling food I would not eat. Still like to watch and the banter between them while cooking or out on a walkabout in the towns.
Oh I used to watch these ladies years ago what year was this it doesn't say when are they still doing this are they still around hopefully still doing what they do best. Pretty funny ladies too, but they definitely enjoyed what they were doing
In NZ we call chard 'silverbeet'. Because it grows so easily, it's a great staple for vege-deprived students! And 'Beef Wellington' has no connection whatsoever to our capital city. Quite how it got its name remains a mystery.

I wish these ladies were still with us. They made the world a better place. Pure joy.
Is Clarissa still alive?

Clarissa died 2014 and
Jennifer in 1999
I agree that it gives me a feeling of nostalgia of a forgotten comfort...
@@wendyvanzyl3064 People aren't always as the come across on TV shows.
@@Sparrowdean
They were exactly like that in real life.
I love this show. I find it so comforting for some reason.
It sure is, they’re like two very amusing grandma’s 😂
I identify myself! Takes me back toa slower pace of life
I know, right?
Yes definitely
SOOO comforting!
Blame Brussels 😂😂 love watching these two, so relaxed and funny
Love the Ladies. May they both be enjoying culinary delights wherever they are.
They are SO entertaining! They are very posh with their grand accents but also very down to earth . One must have “ respectable “ pate !
Probably because foie gras was taboo, even for them
@@bencartlidge11Not at all.
They were just the best! ❤❤
Jennifer: "Oh, good. More cream..." Love it!
Their theme song, voices, and food make me happy and hungry. Yum. Thank you Clarissa, Jennifer, and Negresti.
Favorite line from the entire series @ 12:25 : "20 - 25 minutes if you want it rare. If you don't want it rare, I wouldn't bother to cook it at all"
Mine was 'a good farmhouse cheddar, not those things you get from the supermarket that taste like bits of old soap'
Yes, loved it 😁
Bouef en croute,aka beef Wellington...😀😀😀👍👍....never had a taste but sounds good!
I liked Jennifer's innocent look when she said 'I always say that there is a lot of good in an old cock. '
That was brilliant! Carluccio, the famous Italian chef, at his original restaurant in Neal's Yard, Covent Garden, displayed a sign in the window: "We only serve steaks rare. We do not serve prawn cocktail".
I loved it when they learned something new from each other. Even if you’re an expert, there’s always something you can learn from someone else if you’re humble enough.
these two always bring a smile on my face, remind me of my great aunts who were great home cooks too!
these ladies never get old to watch, they still prove simple is best.they are fabulous.
They're not really dead, as long as we remember them..... I know, I quoted Dr. McCoy (played in Star Trek by the late, very great DeForest Kelly.... I'm sure I spelled his surname right!)on that! 😍
If I’m ever in need of a little escape, I watch these ladies and it puts a smile on my face.
Jennifer deftly handles a question: 'what cup size.' She responds without missing a beat 'coffee cup size!'
I forgot how much I loved these two ladies. Sigh they were ahead of their time xoxo
love.theseladies
The best, ever.
“He was a facist, wasn’t he?” “Oh yes he was bound to be, as if he was a vegetarian too!”
Kevin Coughenour I thought that comment was the best part of the show.
Cultture, history, roots, continuity, architecture, humour. What a dish they are cooking up, just absolutely love it. Dreadful there will be no more.
They encompass the value of an excellent éducation and good manners.
I really miss these two fine ladies. Hard to believe how long it's been since this aired on TV.
Love this show and these two ladies. Good old fashioned British cookery at its best!
Rose' chardonnay perfect stripper or drag queen name
Who ever thought of this partnership had an amazing foresight !! Great thanks for this .
God Bless these two Ladies 🚺 for giving us all of these culinary delights 😊
I always love seeing these videos over and over again. These ladies live in my heart year after year. So comforting and I love watching them create wonderful dishes. ❤
When I watch this show it made me happy and smile and hungry I loved them so mush nice to have the reruns thank you I miss them sothanks
just fabulous the two of them, and the stories they tell...my god they must have had quite the lives!!!!!
I really love their sense of humour.
I love this so much, I even bought the DVD series and Clarissa's book. Best cooking show.
Hearing Jennifer Patterson say "strawberry breasts" is somehow infinitely satisfying.
How much I miss you both. Fond memories watching you years ago and making me laugh and no silly business about vegetarian this,vegan that. Please come back.💗
Oh I miss these ladies so much. They just don't make these kinds of shows anymore 😭
RIP Ladies. Great cooks x
I'll never look at a Coffee Cup the same, ever again!!!!

They really are a posh Kim and Aggie though instead of scrubbing they are cooking with the humour of Hinge and Bracket. I adore it!
Love this show !
I loved watching this show
Oooh, don't think I've seen this one! Thanks for uploading!
"Fiddle-faddle". I love old British slang... lol.
Tony Meade That's not old British slang haha. That's posh old people random talk.
My American mother said that.

Positively delightful! I wonder if they liked each other.
It has been said they did not like each other, but, nevertheless were civilised enough not to allow their personal animosities affect their programme

She didn't exactly quit, she was disbarred for practicing without chambers hence she was no longer allowed to practice law.
