    In this limited series, Chef McGrady will walk you through the royals' favorite recipes from his Dallas test kitchen...while spilling all the most glorious royal tea. In our third episode, Darren makes Prince Harry and Prince William's favorite comfort meal: Cottage pie.

      What's the actual no of years you worked for the royal family? In this video you mention 15years. In the other video about Prince Philip you said 11years.

      @ajnafes 4 года назад +7

      @Ian McLean And this person is free just look at the information presented to her in the video she clicked on, you are not an educator it is not your job to inform her of that.
      She didn't ask you to inform her.

    • @ajnafes
      @ajnafes 4 года назад +3

      ​@Ian McLean Yes free speech and noted, correct she did not ask me either and like you mentioned this is a youtube community. Are you ordering me to do something while simultaneously telling me off (for in your words) telling people what to say and not say? Ha the irony, I have you know that I was not telling you to say or not say anything I merely was asking, at first. I mean regardless of what Harry was or wasn’t you said ‘’bastard’ which is also frequently used as an insult, there many ways to you could have phrased it. Still, you said it in that way if you wanted to tried to inform a person of something who was not seeking negativity, you could have chosen different wording, but hey this is RUclips right? Be as rude and outspoken as you want to be. So let me in your words mind my own business, see ya.

    • @vegan4life302
      @vegan4life302 4 года назад

      @Ian McLean Exactly!!! I wonder if a DNA test was ever done, secretively, of course. If I were Charles I'd just have to know! I bet among the royal family that's the elephant in the room. I also think Harry knows Charles is not his biological father.

    • @ajnafes
      @ajnafes 4 года назад +2

      @Ian McLean I tried to stop you from making a negative comment to put that. You could also easily had said ''The illegitimate child'' of Dianna.
      Instead of saying batard, I already knew it pretty much means child a born to parents who didn't marry each other. But it is also still used and an insult just calling someone ugly is generally known to an insult but just mentionedit only becomesan insultswhen the other is feeling offended right?
      What I think have the right to is to giving my own opinion just as you are giving your opinion, nothing more nothing less it is not that complicated.
      You turned own oppion into order by telling me what to do. I told you that you aren't an educator etc. I said "you do not have to" do certain things, but I never told you or ordered you what to do. You have.

      @lana lake There is also Cumberland Pie, which is native to the region of Cumbria. Very similar, but can be either beef or lamb, and has a layer of breadcrumbs on top as well as cheese. Gives it a delightful crunch.
      I always remembered it as shepard's look after sheep = shepard's pie is the one with lamb.

    • @dalaynamedina8608

      Yes with sheppards pie (American version) the mashed potatoes are piped using an icing top to give the mashed potatoes shape. Just like his. They look like frosting. And we put it in the oven and it gets nice and toasty 😊

I'm actually proud to have made it to the age when I start getting notices from AARP, the Social Security Administration, etc., yet most of my coworkers, as well as storekeepers, restaurant staff, etc., think I'm only in my forties or early fifties. When I turned 61 several years ago I took a scuba diving class, and one of the assistant instructors was talking to the class about the wide range of ages in the group. "Teran here is 13, and Brian is 36," he said. "Uh, that was the Brian that cancelled his lessons last week," I said. "*This* Brian is 61." He looked shocked.
