Brenda Laubhan I do to Brenda, they were lovely lady’s with a quick sense of humor and they were excellent in the with a cast iron skillet in their hand.
I remember watching these two in Australia when I was in my twenties. It was such an antidote for the health craze of low fat and low sugar and the aerobics craze of the nineties.
I just love listening to these beautiful ladies banter on and on. This is gold. Thank you Negresti Sonicx for posting this. I am only discovering Two Fat Ladies in 2022.
Im southern born and raised and we don't put corn on everything but we do put quite a bit of sugar in our food. Southerners eat normal foods for breakfast lol
Y'wal are in Blighty now, where they complain about the smell of Garlic, and foreign food, then have to put chilli, turmeric, garam Masala and coriander in every dish! Y'wal come back now you here! But not if your an Asian male. The food, the women are welcome as is yoga, the culture, the gold, the diamonds and spices.
I loved their show and never missed an episode. I particularly enjoyed the ending of the show with Jennifer holding a cigarette in one hand and a drink in the other. My kind of gal. Thank you TH-cam for resurrecting these treasures.
@@mscott3918 Alas dropped by the BBC and the Good Food Channel which is owned by the BBC as Clarissa rightly said upon a visit to Leicester that it looked like some Islamic republic! Voltaire sadi lear to know who rule over you as you cannot critise them!
@@binagarten4667 Eh? why are you lying? The series ended because Jennifer died mid way through the 4th series they were filming, in 1999. Clarissa's comments came in 2012. She subsequently did 'Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner' for the BBC at the end of 2012 and then 'The Great British Food Revival' on the BBC in 2013.
I am an Anglophile and I find it so adorable the way they say paprika. If I won millions of dollars I would buy a little cottage in East Yorkshire and live there from June to September. I love my hometown here in California but the summers are the devil's armpit.
30 years ago, my hubby introduced these ‘amazing’ ladies… full of knowledge, experience and lots of intelligent humour! Oh what amazing and fantastic times for any fly sitting on that wall there in this fantastical kitchen! So glad they’ve taught us soooo much about great old fashioned cooking 🧑🍳 and the techniques (method to the madness and v.v.!!). It’s such a pleasure to come across them quite accidentally! Thank you and enjoy the ‘two little fried grapes ‘! I wish they were still here with us… a good team, a good time and good tea!’
"In the old days, Vicars were good Christians and had lots of children and they needed these big houses, Now, they are all gay and they've sold them off." Clarissa was on top of things being a former barrister...lol
“My mother was deeply committed to the romance of the Deep South of America. So when these moods hit her, we used to have corned grilled cakes for breakfast. Finally, my sister married a man from South Carolina and my mother was cured”. She has such a great sense of humor! 😆
Being half Mexican, Ive seen and had my fair share of huevos rancheros. That is the wierdest huevos rancheros version I have ever seen. Cant wait to try it.
here here Jennifer Pattison was behind me once in the queue in Sainsbury's Victoria Street, London, round the corner from her flat. I hope my shopping list didn't disgust her, although it was 1986 or something :-o
Ah, I do love these two ladies so much! I do not share their diet preferences nor am I fascinated with their excessive use of cooking oil, cream, sugar etc. There is something magical about them, between them... above of all that tremendous respect they show to each other. So, whatever it is you like about them, let us always remember how to appreciate little things in our life, always, all the time...wherever we may be, by the pool in Berlin or somewhere else )). RIP ladies.
@Tom Lowery That's nonsense. You've been reading Ian Scott, who was a vitriolic ratbag and said appalling things to promote himself. They didn't hate each other at all - and you didn't know them personally.
Paterson died of cancer on 10 August 1999, one month after diagnosis. The day before she died, she asked Dickson Wright to bring her a tin of caviar but when Dickson Wright arrived at the hospital, Paterson had already died. Dickson Wright said that after Paterson's funeral, she ate the caviar as a tribute to her friend. Dickson Wright died at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary on 15 March 2014.
I remember watching these two on pbs when I was a kid on Saturdays and then finishing the day out with bbc shows like keeping up appearances and are you being served. Good times 😊
These two ladies aren't meant to be PC, that was the whole point.....if you get offended, don't watch. But yes, it's British humour. If you don't get it then you weren't meant too.
matthew brandon Oh we've been killing for longer than that mate. Remember we've been around longer. Try to remember where you've stolen most ideas from. Humour, sarcasm and self depreciation failed to translate across the pond I see...
Caroline Greenman As far as Britain killing natives I was referring mostly to the empire which he can in the 1500s, roughly 500 years ago. Stolen ideas? We've given much more in the way of ideas than we've taken. And with the exception of Monty python, British humor doesn't translate to any other country very well. I saw I appreciate the sarcasm in the comments above but self depreciation, I didn't see any of that. The statement that I replied to was an ignorant, Hate filled rent that needed answering.
matthew brandon Spoken like a true American. Full of holier than thou. And as I said much earlier, if you need someone to explain a post and it's varying types of humour therein, then it's a waste of time.
We all do - and should take it back - our way of life. Simple, Friendly, Honest, Not Rich, Generous, Intelligent and Caring. Strong, Uncompromising, Funny and Real. Just a few things we ALL are. Thank God Trump is back to bring in the Golden Age of America.
I'm soooo happy to have found this little treasure, I used to watch their show on the People+Arts channel when I was 12 years old and it's what sparked my passion for cooking!
The ladies are a treasure. As an American, I have never enjoyed sweet pastries, cooked oats or breakfast cereals, for the morning meal. Well seasoned and savory foods appeal to me.
@@butthand4342 Don't forget cream gravy, with lots of pepper. Or as my Daddy used to say, Lets have a coronary for breakfast. (for those of you who aren't familiar, you take the grease from sausage, stir in a bit of flour and cook it til it rises slightly, pour in milk a little at a time and whisk it til you have muscles lol (or it thickens) lol add enough pepper so you can see black flakes throughout and enough salt to need some lasix and you are good lol pour over an american biscuit (or a savory scone if you are a Brit) Had an amusing conversation one time about this dish with a Brit before I realized she thought I was putting gravy on oreos lol.
I used to love watching this show when I was younger. To see them travel the country and cook for all sorts of people was always the most interesting thing to me. :)
Patrick3183 😂😂😂😂 Unfortunately she's not lying. Vicars and Catholic priest apparently. I'm starting to think those professions are devil worshipers in secret. (Now exposed) No true men of GOD would rape little boys!
Try yellow squash (cooked first ) instead of corn ! It’s delicious !! Tried this first from an Alabama friend when we lived in Georgia, just squash and some mayo then pancake mix, mixed well , fry and serve with maple syrup ! A very good dish for tea !! Have never even touched kidneys never mind eating them !! My father was a great breakfast cook, all he had to do was open kitchen door and the cooking bacon was enough to get us out of bed ! Fried bread, potato scones, square sausages, eggs , bacon, great breakfast !! Good Scottish Breakfast !!
12:39 It always makes me laugh when the ladies make assumptions about America and American foods. “Girdle!” I love it when they talk about peppers used in Texas and Mexican cooking. And how spicy they are. I remember seeing an episode with Clarissa warning about using “galopenas” when she was showing a poblano pepper that’s one of the mildest of jalapeños. I loved them dearly.
Lol I'm from north Carolina and this didn't insult me at all it was pretty funny . she probably thought people in the south called it a girdle because her brother in law from south Carolina was probably messing with her .
It seems that some have taken Ms. Wright literally with the girdle/griddle comment. Scots don't say "girdle" either. Her remark about Americans and Scots is a jab at those with differing accents. These lady's attitudes reflect an earlier time when people could poke fun at each other and not get offended, before today's PC police were lurking about every corner waiting to pounce.
people always have to add their 2 cent...and mine is this.. re...fukn...lax!! it's food, food we aren't eating, a TV show..."show"...watch or do not!! everything is not a debate! people take themselves way too seriously. ..yall mad at bacon and corn? ??...lmfao!!! haha. ..wow! God bless us all...I watched this with my grandmother and she's from Louisiana. ..we laughed and cooked. ..no problem...remember this is real food! not what people eat today...gmo and gluten free crap...
At 3:17: “In the old days I suppose vicars were good Christians and had lots of children, so they needed these big houses. Now they’re all gay, so they’ve sold them off.” Made this old queen laugh!
Huevos Rancheros is my favorite! I have it when I go out to brunch with my parents sometimes. I have a friend in Mexico, and she usually has it without the chili peppers and just plain salsa. I tried it with chili peppers one time when I first tried it, and it was too spicy for me! I'll think of you Clarissa the next time I eat it! Rest in peace to you and Jennifer! We miss you ladies!
Clarissa called them corn cakes but my southern mother called them corn fritters & fixed them quite often! Americans should take it as a compliment that she is borrowing from the cuisine of the American South! However, never heard the term: “girdle” referring to a southern skillet, only “griddle” & no different from the British version.
Two Fat LADIES for a few years were global superstars, especially in AUSTRALIA. I used to see Jennifer a lot as we were virtually neighbour's in the WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL area. They were a phenomenon and dearly missed RIP JENNIFER AND CLARISSA ❤❤
Patricia Hoffman Hurrah for a good comment. PC nonsense is strangling proper individuality and natural eccentric behaviour, and giving us watered down PC slops
Ohh man I miss these gals, they were a staple of my childhood, my whole family would sit down to watch this show whenever it was on. My dad was a chef and loved trying out their recipes, and so did the rest of us😉. Good times, I wish they had been a little bit healthier so they could still be around...
I just cleaned my house, and now I'm binge-watching the "Two Fat Ladies." I should be watching "How Clean is your House?" I love Kim and Aggie as well.
😂 when Jennifer said "eww" to Clarissa for putting maple syrup on the corn griddle cake with bacon I was thinking, just wait till you try it Jennifer and then you're going to eat your words ❤ bacon and maple syrup is literally heaven in your mouth 🤤🙏😋🥓🍁🥞
They were fabulous with no PC nonsense. Honest people who said what they thought and not giving a damn. We lose something when we lose people like them.
I don't know why TH-cam recommended me this, but I'm glad it happened. They're so sweet and funny. The food's so simple to make and it looks very tasty as well!
I miss them. I'm glad we have these shows to keep them alive in our hearts. RIP
Brenda Laubhan Yes I miss them terribly, so sad both are dead but thank God we still have these videos
Me too!

wild comment to make considering Jennifer died of lung cancer

Two Fat LADIES for a few years were global superstars, especially in AUSTRALIA. I used to see Jennifer a lot as we were virtually neighbour's in the WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL area.
They were a phenomenon and dearly missed RIP JENNIFER AND CLARISSA ❤❤
I loved this show and both these ladies!!
I loved watching this with my mommy when I was little and she was still alive. Thanks for uploading.
I do miss Two Fat Ladies...what an entertaining as well as informative cooking show! I loved the lack of everything PC =)
Patricia Hoffman who needs PC
Patricia Hoffman Hurrah for a good comment. PC nonsense is strangling proper individuality and natural eccentric behaviour, and giving us watered down PC slops
I haven't thought of this show in years but such vivid memories just flooded back
Ohh man I miss these gals, they were a staple of my childhood, my whole family would sit down to watch this show whenever it was on. My dad was a chef and loved trying out their recipes, and so did the rest of us😉. Good times, I wish they had been a little bit healthier so they could still be around...
I love Jennifer, she always reminded me of my grandmother.
I love the way she said "fry your onions" in a working-class cockney accent .
So happy to find this. I use to watch them on the BBC channel. They are so fun to watch.
0:59 I love how the hammer fits perfectly with the swing of the music.
How sadly prophetic when Clarissa says "That's what your lungs look like Jennifer"
OUCH!!
Oh how I loved watching this show when it was first aired. ❤They were too funny!
I just cleaned my house, and now I'm binge-watching the "Two Fat Ladies." I should be watching "How Clean is your House?" I love Kim and Aggie as well.
I’m in heaven re-watching these wonderful and irreplaceable ladies!
Rest in peace dear Clarissa and Jennifer ❤
The most wonderful show .. Thanks for reminding me.. ❤️
I read Clarissa autobiography, I highly recommend it, such an interesting woman she was
I just read that she was... a barrister? what? lol
@@abrahamlincoln9758 Yep she was.
I’m reading it now- it’s really well written and holds your interest.
@13:06, it took the Kipper Guy a gushing compliment to break his slightly cold demeanor prior. Agree, he is a cutie tho.
He's a hotty,all the girls would love to have him!
Was, he is probably dead by now 🤣
@@aronchas or an old pensioner.
😂 when Jennifer said "eww" to Clarissa for putting maple syrup on the corn griddle cake with bacon I was thinking, just wait till you try it Jennifer and then you're going to eat your words ❤ bacon and maple syrup is literally heaven in your mouth 🤤🙏😋🥓🍁🥞
Both these dear ladies are no longer with us 😢
"Bloody Brussels!" Clarissa was a woman after my own heart. Such a great loss
OpenMusic brexit
They were fabulous with no PC nonsense. Honest people who said what they thought and not giving a damn. We lose something when we lose people like them.
You know they’d have both voted for Brexit if they’d lived to see it.
@@kate_cooper Yep, God bless them both.
@@gullwingstorm857 sadly it's hardly going well, but let's keep politics out of this series shall we
I don't know why TH-cam recommended me this, but I'm glad it happened. They're so sweet and funny. The food's so simple to make and it looks very tasty as well!
I can actually smell the simmering dishes!!
Love em !! Sweety sweet ladies!!
