Two Fat Ladies Christmas

[@lauraanncallaway4057]

"There's a nice little choirister called Oliver if you could wait a few years" OMG fantastic 😂

[@zarachastellaris9016]

I love the way they roll their "R's"!

[@herrbrucvald6376]

the sound of a great boys' choir is indescribably beautiful, as here. i watch this every year.

[@jakealden2517]

Me too...it has become a bit of a tradition for me to watch this every Christmas season.

[@WhirledPeace]

A sigh and a cry at the end when I realized how much I love these two ladies as they exchange funny presents and listen to the choir, that they’re gone. A remarkable pairing indeed. May we all cherish those special fleeting moments and the people that make us laugh and love and pray for those who can’t do either. Let us all raise a glass to them and in spirit become ‘Two Fat Ladies’. 🕊🙏🏼🕊

[@samalama9692]

I agree with you cherish the people close to you , make memories with those you love . May these two ladies Rest In Peace. 🕊🕊

[@barneyffc]

Agreed. I am watching it now the food I’ve always loved so much and their personalities were simply the best the ending always gets me especially the Christmas presents exchanging them the Chior singing. Always get a tad emotional

They couldn't call the program 'Two fat Ladies' now it would have to be called, 'Two Body Positive Ladies'. Its a real shame how the world has gone down hill, PC wise!

[@YouSimon1000]

One of the best cooking shows ever. Two charismatic ladies...traditional English cuisine...calories and health content be damned. May they both be cooking up a heavenly feast for the angels. Smoke 'em up, Jennifer!

[@twain103]

***** I agree.The food was hearty and plentiful.The kind of food that STUCK to your ribs. They seemed to have SO much fun.Jennifer and her beautiful manicured nails.RIP,LADIES.

[@Gio_Vanni6143]

I'm glad this came up again in my recommended list because "we need a little Christmas right this very minute."

[@summer3100]

they were both delightful and typically british with a free spirit and naughty sense of humour. RIP ladies.

[@tonlo92]

I have such sweet memories of this show before my son was school age. My husband used to work very late & this used to come on later in the evening. My son would ask if he could sleep in my bed until Dad got home. We would climb in my bed & watch this every night. He still sings the theme song to it and talks about the show. He's almost 25 now.

[@levimacdonald5188]

I was 28 on the 30th october and remember this show with my granny ❤❤.. sad clarissa Dickson Wright died 2014 aged 66...and Jennifer died 1999 age 71 .. good proper cooking 💯👌 like my granny she was born 1920 and passed away 1st March 2008 aged 87 so she's from the same generation as Jennifer Patterson........

[@BlueRidgeMtns100]

@@levimacdonald5188 My nephew was 12-13 when the two ladies were on and his unabashed delight in them just made the show that much better. He would come to my house on a regular basis for our appointment to watch The Two Fat Ladies. We didn't necessarily watch for the recipes, it was "personality" TV for us.

[@l.plantagenet]

@@BlueRidgeMtns100 I agree. They were at ease with the camera and were so enjoyable to watch. You could tell how much they loved cooking and were funny too.

[@allansuaza]

The ending of this episode was one of the best and sweetest... and from a cooking show! (I always laugh at Clarissa’s reaction to the cookbook and to Jennifer’s comment about the choir in their frilled collars❤️.)

[@michillene]

Would watch this with my kids...my older son just loved these two...and me too.This was the best cooking show I have ever seen...Between the great cooking and the comedy...it was fabulous...I sure miss these gals.

These ladies were such a pleasure to watch, listen and learn from, no matter where they took us to visit!!

[@tashee8772]

Just love these ladies. I could sit and listen to them chatter all day.

[@vascoemyer]

My favourite cooking ladies of all time; I miss them, I used to enjoy their show. Their style of cooking may not be popular in this epoch but it's reminiscent of my youth when people weren't frightened to cook with butter, cream and salt. Delicious. How wonderful to find the ladies on KZbin, thank you ladies for many happy memories. Enjoy cooking together once more in Heaven. 😍

[@WakeMeUpInVegas]

"They look like little lamb cutlets with those frills around their necks!" 😂😂😂😂😂

These two were the real deal. How I miss them. Both highly accomplished and experienced cooks, they would put many of the tv chefs of today to shame. And they were hilarious. I love that they have no qualms at all serving alcohol to children! Younger me would have been delighted with this meal, which looks delicious and is steeped in history and tradition.

I have always loved these 2 ladies. I was always amazed and excited by their dishes and their communication with each other. They were as old school as they come and I miss them terribly.

[@angienorthey]

Used to love watching this show, such a shame they're both dead now. I used to see Jennifer all the time around Westminster. She lived in a flat in Ashley Gardens, and did her shopping in the Sainsbury's in Victoria Street. Great memories.

My youngest daughter and I used to watch these two ladies regularly. I also recommend Rosemary and Thyme, two ladies who are partners in a landscaping business. I hope there will always be an England.

[@tozmom615]

We’ve been told by our intellectual betters that we need multiculturalism, so no, I suspect there will not always be an England. If there is it will be a patriarchal Arabic speaking one where women like this will be stoned to death for their “harlotry”. But as long as guardian readers can feel virtuous in their chattering classes middle class suburbs what does it matter?

[@danielindiciani5005]

I do miss their attitude to cooking: using local ingredients, no pretensions, traditional cooking. Most of all, their cooking was not for those on a diet and they made no apologies for it. It was simple, if you didn't want their calorie-heavy cooking, go watch another TV cooking show! It was a simpler time.

[@AntPDC]

...and we are now learning that we have all been misled by food fascists about eggs, full fat milk, and the rest...

[@mikegallant811]

@@AntPDC eh,fuck the food fascists. Eat, drink and be merry,for you never know what tomorrow will bring!

[@Chris_Troxler]

To this day, my mother caters and bakes cakes for people. She has always told her clients, "I am a full flavor cook. I use butter, sugar, salt, whole milk, Crisco (that's brand of shortening for those of you not in the southern US), and heavy everything. I fat free or reduce fat in nothing! If you are on a diet, I ain't th' one." I've actually heard her say this on several occasions.

[@Koldeman]

For the last two weeks, whenever we're in the car, I tell my wife "straight through the arch to the cathedral close- the choir school is on the grounds and the headmaster will meet us there." She looks at me like I'm nuts! 😄
