"Like schoolboys, Rieslings are best enjoyed young......." lol WHAAAAAT!!!?

[@moriokaleiko]

I love the fit Simon throws that the end; he's so fucking impossible. Grant rules!

[@allys744]

I just discovered this show; it’s hilarious! The way Richard E was describing extra virgin olive oil as “tarts” and “hussies” 😂🤚

[@tartrazine]

If you haven't got an Aga ... (Long Silence) at 3:29. Hilarious.

[@adelemol]

This was one of the best skits ever made

[@vector8310]

Each episode is a gem.

[@MondySpartan]

Richard E. Grant who is the star of this show, was the Doctor at the animated Doctor Who webcast, Doctor Who: Scream of the Shalka. Originally thought to be the 9th Doctor until the reboot in 2005. Now we can call him "the Shalka Doctor"

+Dan Gant interesting points ,if anyone else wants to uncover how to make wine from fruit try Corbandy Tasty Wine Crusher (just google it ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my work buddy got great success with it.

[@Waboom1]

I love this show

[@wendyrobson1530]

Good luck at the Oscars!

[@gregtees9995]

I just saw what Richard does to porridge. The man is mad.

"Extraordinary food for ordinary people". It would be great if the whole series were released on DVD one day. Was the book advertised on here actually ever published? YOU are an extraordinary youtuber to have uploaded this very rare series! Thank you! :)

@corpsemunger Although Scholl does a lovely rendition of this song, the version used here is by countertenor Alfred Deller and guitarist Desmond Dupre.

Never on DVD? Why not? Brilliant series ... there was one episode unaired. No idea why.

Dude its 3 am and I'm pretty high What the fuck?

[@WillyJunior]

Dude man bro dawg son

[@Kaisorra]

It's odd... I can't find this funny for some reason. I probably just don't understand a lot of their jokes... Also. Poor Sturgeon

[@gordonhall752]

You don't understand English tongue-in-cheek satire.

[@Fan_Made_Videos]

It's not odd. You're odd.

[@jacquelinepaul9731]

Like where we're the jokes ?.

[@AndRewUK24]

You probably don't watch enough cookery shows especially in the 80s and 90s to get the jokes and humour. There's a lot of references to cookery shows like Delia Smith, The Two Fat Ladies, Fanny Cradock, Rick Stein, Keith Floyd and Loyd Grossman. Also you probably didn't shop in Waitrose in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s like my grandparents did.

[@jacquelinepaul9731]

@Andrew Whitney I've done all that..lets take the middle class out of this sketch and believe me there are no jokes..the joke seems to be a lefty scriptwriter taking the mickey out of the Aga green wellie types.

[@jerrkyd]

I am American and want to speak for all Americans. We don't find the Brits to be very funny. We find other things funny, such as, things that are actually funny. Cheers.

[@fingerbillsbone]

I find a lot of Americans funny..... I'm usually laughing at them, not with them.... Like now 🙄

[@DGT73]

Nuance and irony ,just two of the things that don’t feature in the US sense of humour

[@Roryg63]

Cool story bro

[@evenmorebetter]

I'm American, and you are wrong

[@TheRealMichaelH]

You don't speak for me, jerrkyd, and shame on you for claiming that you do. In fact, when non-Americans say they don't like Americans, you're the kind of American they're thinking of.

[@bingonamo7520]

Timelessly hilarious. All the episodes are here. archive.org/details/posh-nosh
