I join all of the commenters in my thanks for posting these absolutely wonderful, unique and timeless episodes. I watched a few episodes when I was younger, and then they disappeared from television in the U.S. I'm so glad the show continued on for successive seasons, and that these two ladies' lives are preserved for posterity. What interesting women they were and with such fabulous stories, wit and knowledge. Seeing Jennifer shoot has me smiling from ear to ear, and I can't quite tell if her first shot was intentional or not, but she then slung the gun up a bit higher and let loose another round. Clarissa meanwhile locked in a shooter's stance and fired. So marvelous and wonderful. It's also the only cooking show whose recipes I had no prior knowledge of. Every single recipe, I'm continually astounded, like, what in the world are those ingredients and who would put them together!?! Such, such a wonderful show.
I was a bit shocked at that part, even for them! What I like about them is that they can say something true but trashy but try to keep it classy 99% of the time. Makes the 1% trashy jokes so much funnier
I've watched these programs as much for entertainment as for their cooking. Most of their dishes look and sound delicious and I enjoy the interaction between these two great friends, the people they encountered and the scenic locations. I miss these ladies dearly.
15:26 Ha, superb! Clarrisa taking aim, and Jennifer "shooting from the hip." I know I'm on a posting spree, but I keep finding all these jewels when I watch these videos. Can't help but be surprised and inspired by these two.
14:25 J: "Look at at this wonderful sight appearing..." C: "Oh, look! Kilts and all, come on Jennifer!" J: "The Scotsman came down like a wolf on the fold, his corsets were gleaming in purple and gold." C: "I don't think it's corsets." [merry laughter] [Jennifer quotes Byron but substitutes Scotsman for Assyrian; and perhaps unintentionally corsets for cohorts] These two irrepressible spirits lived in a vivid and fun world, respectable society be damned.
I thank shows like this and Julia, Lidia, etc. For reawakening my love for cooking. I've watched so many cooking shows during Covid lockdown, that I now call my kitchen my "Lab". Where I go to experiment with different kinds of recipes. I'm loving it, great therapy for me.
While I love both ladies, Jennifer in particular had a literary quote or a song for ANY occasion. Her belting that lyric from 'Annie Get Your Gun' was perfection! She truly was a classy, cultured lady.
What a wonderful adventure. There they were trudging through the highlands, (with energetic music in the background) aiming their rifles upward, bang! Bang! I realized I had a Huge smile across my face! How extraordinary😂
I love listening to the ladies. Their banter together is wonderful and so very old school British, which I find reassuring and comforting. They are very much missed as Great British Icons 🥰🥰🥰
The first time that I served rabbit in bacon to my children, I called it "chicken surprise". After dinner, I told them that it was rabbit, and now they ask for "chicken surprise" all the time. Lol
I was just about to make a comment about how Jennifer probably puts anchovies in her cakes, but Clarissa beat me to the punch with, "Yes, I'm surprised not to find them in your coffee cake". Love these ladies!
Going back to oldies but goodies. These two are freakishly similar to my two grandmother. I can close my eyes and it takes me back to my childhood - 50 years ago.
Jennifer mentioning bread sauce - it was her favourite. Her recipe for it in one of the TFL cook books is pretty striking because she tells you to steep the onion in the milk all day! Very strong bread sauce in that case :D
The entire intro is so amazing. Saint Hubert and the Noel Coward song to Jennifer immediately saying she was going to be cooking “bunny rabbit” instead of just rabbit.
My favorite scene of the whole series is Clarissa jumping to her feet when she sees all that sexy appearing at the top of the hill, "in kilts and all." Love!
alot of times they were cooking with an aga range, which doesn't have temperature settings. it's always on and has several chambers with different heat levels based on proximity to the heating unit - it's why you sometimes hear them mention putting things in the "hot oven." whenever you see them put things in an oven with a metal/cast iron door and no knobs, or cooking on a stovetop with a big metal cover on it, that's probably an aga.
I made the rabbit stew, except I used boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of rabbit. It was crazy good, and was very easy to prepare. I have also made the game bird recipes with cornish hens, or just a chicken. Delicious! These recipes are very interesting and fun to make.
lennypearl I have found as a rational thinker that I typically have a hard time arguing/discoursing with normal people (not just believers). The primary issue being that we do not share the same language: facts, rationality and skepticism and the ability to change based on new or refined evidence and even what constitutes evidence. What I believe is that our default state is the exact opposite: superstition, irrationality and dogma. We begin in a hole and it takes the juxtaposition of education, cognitive ability and opportunity to climb out of that hole. The fact that the world is not full of atheists essentially proves my point because we both know that with rational analysis of the available facts there is no evidentiary argument for a creator God, most people (where I from North America) have ready access to those facts, the education and the opportunity (stable society) yet do not pursue the steps necessary to enlighten themselves. The big 3 monotheists that we have today are living legacies of a vast pantheon of dead gods that sweep back into the prehistory of humanity.

Only they could get away with a short lecture on a well-hung pheasant coming out of a gang bang as one of God's most delicious animals! Lord, how I miss these women!
This show was somewhat of an autumn blossoming for both of them, esp for Jennifer, who was a full twenty years older than Clarissa. Neither had easy lives in many ways. They both made lemonade from lemons in many respects. That the show was a huge international hit, bringing money, recognition, & much affection thrilled them. After Jennifer's sudden death, things got harder again for Clarissa, but she was still able to parlay her fame into a number of lesser, yet very erudite, food/food history shows...
I've cooked pheasant a few times and not been impressed, but they've always been just shot. I've obviously not hung them enough. Thanks, ladies for all your programmes
Two saucey tarts who both made a wicked sauce, loved them, they are examples of iconic individuals, that word is desperately overused and misapplied these days...
Is there a reason they don’t use salt very often? Or do they just not show them using salt? I thought I saw a little salt for the stew but it didn’t show her out it in.
In Nfld we got wild rabbit in early fall. It always was cooked with the freshest of our own vegetables because of timing of harvest. My mom would braise it or them put it in a large roaster with fresh potatoes carrot turnip and onion. At the very end she would put a pastry on top of it and bake it for a few more minutes. She wasn't a fan of the pastry but my dad loved it and she loved him.
In the 1960s my momma cut up, floured and fried the rabbits and squirrels and doves my daddy and uncle Euthan shot during the winter. So that was our family's luxury food. Oh, and partridge.
These girls were unique. In a way, they were slaves to the ultra rich, but they lived life their own way. The doc on youtube is very good. Rest in butter ladies
The irony being that the Bain Marie is actually derived from equipment used by an alchemist, Mary the Jewess, from Alexandria in the 1st or 2nd century.
What is more British than pickled walnuts? I love preserved walnuts though...pls share your thoughts about walnuts or Jennifer's excessive use of anchovies :)
I think Jennifer’s tastebuds had been burnt off with decades of smoking lethally strong woodbine cigarettes. Anchovies taste very strong and salty which is probably why she liked them
“Pheasant is a very a very lean meat without any fat”. So of course Clarissa covered it in fatty bacon!! I love these ladies, so un-PC and genuine ❤️❤️
Jennifer was up-to-date on a lot & I think she meant it as a sort of tribute to Patricia Routledge as Hyacinth Bucket ('Bouquet! ') in KEEPING UP APPEARANCES - who had famously done an hilarious routine of it watched just a few years earlier by millions in Britain...
The saying is that the Devil was kicked out of heaven on October 11th. He landed on a blackberry bush. It must have hurt as each year he takes his revenge by spoiling blackberries after the 11th. Some say he spits on them, others that he pees on them.
Interesting thing about this episode is that Clarissa actually held the contract to the tea room at Lennoxlove. These ladies were amazing and really enjoyed their intelligence and wittiness.
Well all we'll ever have is reruns and we're watching them here, so....are you wishing they were alive taping new shows? That we didn't get enough? With that i heartily concur
I think it's so funny. In the states things like rabbit, at venison are food that are traditionally eaten by peopl e who HAD to hunt ie the poor. ESPECIALLY in the western states. I live in Utah. Pretty much everyone of my generation ( I'm 41) grew up going hunting and then stocking the Elk or Buck in your chest freezer only to . hear your mother say . " Well.. that will save us a TON of money this winter. But in the UK.. Posh people eat it.
@@thelouisfanclub but they also sell lots of game in cities (when the hunting season is on), and restaurants have special game menus when is the season
Interesting to hear Clarissa talk about the smell of juniper berries and references gin and tonic. One of her last interviews before her passing, she states how much she dislikes the smell, due to her past addiction to gin. Makes one wonder what she thought during the creation of this show.
I adored rabbit as a young child - war years. My children had the most beautiful,intelligent rabbit as a pet 30 years later. As an experiment I bought a rabbit and cooked it many years later. We only had one bite. We almost became vegetarians. Sooo sad.
The ABFAB of cooking. Unapologetically British, but truly cheeky and delightful. Simply the best. R.I.P. you two charming birds.
What do you mean unapologetically? What do Brits have to apologise for? Weird comment, bizarre person actually
@@handsoffmycactus2958 Brits apologize all the time. Apologizing is itself extremely British…and thank goodness. British manners have been exported all over the world in some way or another.
They remind me so much of “Are You Being Served?”
@@handsoffmycactus2958 what I meant
What I meant was that they were two live wires who said what was on their minds. If people didn't get their humor, they were not going to apologize for it. It was what it was.
Wow I love the comparison!!
To go back to the years they were on the telly. Those years were some of my happiest that it's no wonder these two put a smile on my face.
I want to make a 90's universe, from the music to these guys, and more.
I remember when this came to America in 1998 or so. Loved it then and still do. Its classic cooking at its best. It got me into loving British cooking old school. Jennifer was such an eccentric old dear. And Clarisssa was just so fun. I still laugh every time they say streaky bacon. Rest in peace you cheeky dears!
LOL I love “Umm just like a gin and tonic” which was Clarissa’s favorite beverage during her naughty days! God bless them both so much! They are missed and hope they are cooking up a storm in heaven!
they rode across England almost every episode. this was the best show!
From the hip! Best cooking show ever...
I am rest assured this is the only cooking show that would ever talk about "GangBangs".....I love these two women!
Amazing
Hahahahahahahaaaaaaa !!!
Miss the ladies! Another pair should be dreamed up but then these types of things really only come once in a lifetime but thinking about it!

The “pheasant gangbang” had me roaring with laughter! These ladies were a gift to the world- charming, naughty, clever and genius!

That is the fastest that I have seen Clarissa move!!!
My dad Ian MacPhee is the head keeper here and he said they were both a great laugh. 😊

Lovely ladies what a great series remember it from when it was on in the late 90s
I am addicted to this show
Me too, I just wish there were more of them!
While I love both ladies, Jennifer in particular had a literary quote or a song for ANY occasion. Her belting that lyric from 'Annie Get Your Gun' was perfection! She truly was a classy, cultured lady.
"How to cook an old bird, like us"
😂
"I'm getting along like a house on fire." Love these two ladies....
I love how they are each a little bit of a history buff!
What a wonderful adventure. There they were trudging through the highlands, (with energetic music in the background) aiming their rifles upward, bang! Bang!

These two ladies made the most appetizing fare I have ever seen. I always got hungry watching their shows.
You must be british
I am of English decent; so yes in a way.
@@jeffreywillis9313 I am too but most Americans wouldn't really eat that traditional british food
lovely to see them again. I miss this sensible no nonsense approach to good food.
12:00 Jennifer's hearty laugh. This woman enjoyed life.
"Whyyyy doesn't that pheasant look pleasant"
There is a tongue twister:- I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant pluckers son. You're supposed to repeat it fast.
The first time that I served rabbit in bacon to my children, I called it "chicken surprise". After dinner, I told them that it was rabbit, and now they ask for "chicken surprise" all the time. Lol
I know of a mother of smaller children who began serving them rabbit by adding a few chicken wings into the dish...they never had a clue!
I had rabbit in pate. Admittedly the idea of game meat isn’t normal to my diet but it was quite good. So I won’t knock it til I try it.
"She died after giving birth to 6 children - all girls."
Jennifer - "what a disgrace"🤣🤣🤣
I spit out my drink
Wouldn't surprise me if she was serious 🤣
I was just about to make a comment about how Jennifer probably puts anchovies in her cakes, but Clarissa beat me to the punch with, "Yes, I'm surprised not to find them in your coffee cake". Love these ladies!
12:00 Jennifer's laugh in response to Clarrisa's wit. Marvelous.
Is this a reference to Mrs Cropley?
Yecch, I can't stand anchovies,far too salty!
Absolutely enjoyed watching these two good friends cooking together. Also, loved their recipes. Only regret is that they left us way, way too….soon! 😔
They became colleagues, they only ever met the first day of taping the first show
What a great show. I would have loved to try any of these esp the venison with blackberries
Clarissa sure got excited when she saw the men in kilts!
Going back to oldies but goodies. These two are freakishly similar to my two grandmother. I can close my eyes and it takes me back to my childhood - 50 years ago.

This programme and Keith Floyd are unbeatable
The only thing missing is Simon Callow from 4 weddings shouting….”my god it’s Brigadoon!” 😂
"Draped around the dish like an evening shawl," how poetic!
I love the stories and history that goes with the cooking!!
The entire intro is so amazing. Saint Hubert and the Noel Coward song to Jennifer immediately saying she was going to be cooking “bunny rabbit” instead of just rabbit.
OH the 90s with wonderful programs like this and look world now "sigh"
My favorite scene of the whole series is Clarissa jumping to her feet when she sees all that sexy appearing at the top of the hill, "in kilts and all." Love!
Clarrisa with a gun is utterly terrifying!
Hahahahahahahahaaaaaa !!!
I love how they cook and very peculiar places and history on them OMG love them sooooo much
When they say “just throw it in the oven” I sure wish I knew what temperature they were using!! Best cooking show ever! I adore these ladies!
You can find their recipes online.
200 degrees C is a good starter if they don't specify but all their recipes are online

Nice advice
“ I made the rabbit stew, except I used boneless chicken thighs”????🤨
I once made a delicious aged meat pizza, instead I used ice cream, banana, and hot fudge sauce
Oh stop being so pedantic 😏
Lovely
I love when Jennifer sings
'You can't get a man with a gun!' God bless Jennifer.
The sight of the Ladies out on the moors, rifles ablaze, is what makes them legends! Can't imagine Julia Child or Delia Smith going full Annie Oakley.
Beautiful Scotland. Lol I love when Jennifer sings Annie Oakley. And love the Scotts with their kilts...
How wonderful it would be to live in a Highland Manor, and dine in a hall like that. A dream come true.
Too drafty.
