Two Fat Ladies S03E07 A Caribbean Christmas

[@dsantamaria713]

Such marvellously delightful Ladies... Truly missed, and always loved..❤❤❤

It's not Christmas without watching these two treasures. Merry Christmas!

[@jakealden2517]

Same. I watch both Christmas episodes every year.

[@carolined668]

Jennifer died in 1999 and Clarissa in 2014 they were the best ever cooks on British tv nobody ever comes close to them👍

[@Karen-gh8gv]

I know, I miss them...and this American agrees with them about pumpkin pie.

[@krisinsaigon]

keith floyd is great

[@gullwingstorm857]

Yep, Jennifer died on the 10th of August '99. and because of her I quit smoking on that very day and have never looked back. What an amazing lady.

Fun fact. They couldn’t stand each other. It was all for camera. RIP tho

[@mamiefish4047]

Oh, here we go with all the revelatory, did-you-know stories of those who knew so much better... fact is, if they hated each other they wouldn't have worked together nor spoken so frequently in the days leading up to death. RIP, you intelligent, entertaining ladies. @@LeeBlackman5

Jennifer always had impeccably manicured nails and Clarissa wearing the best color combos! Love and miss them both so much! I’ve learned to be more adventurous in many cooking thanks to this show! I also do not measure anything and just do it all be eye and heart! Thank you, ladies!

The doctor put me on a very restricted diet for ten days, so what do I do? Binge-watch Two Fat Ladies!

[@talghow-i2326]

Mark Weiss videos in Jamaica are also very good real fun I love them!

[@kika-ge5qr]

As an American that loves pumpkin pie,you are right lovely ladies. Too much sugar and not enough spices here. Making my own is the way to go. I'm also reminded of the little dog Jennifer made for Clarissa's pastry. Such fond memories. Thank you.💗

[@carolynridlon3988]

Thankfully us Americans have made other things out of pumpkin - cookies, bread, cake, soup,... I personally prefer making just the custard only (I do use only nutmeg & allspice - but for custard I have to use a certain amount of sugar)

[@debraredmond5147]

Love these ladies," don't let an American at a pumpkin"😂🤣😅

[@leonardosgood7819]

They roll their "r"s magnificently.

[@merriemisfit8406]

One nice little hint in this episode: As long as you don't have a problem with coconut, making coconut milk part of the cooking water for rice is a beautiful way to add flavor. Besides being tasty on its own, the soft coconut milk flavor in the rice complements lots of spicy options you have for preparing beans to serve on top. Oh -- I also love loaded ginger cake. I make mine with what most would consider way too much spice and molasses, an overly generous dump of dried fruit (currants, chopped pineapple and dates, cranberries -- that sort of thing), chopped nuts (preferably blanched almonds), and orange juice concentrate.

[@davidjsaul]

The thought of Christmas in a warm climate seems bizarre to me, coming from the UK. I expect it to be cold! But the food looks great as ever from the ladies.

[@Tranquility32]

I wish we had more time with these two lovely ladies, but thankful to still be able to view these wonderful shows.

[@rupertprawnworthy758]

Clarissa went on to make several programmes on her own after Jennifer's passing look up clarissa and the countryman.

Aah, yes, "Chrrristmas in the colonies"!

[@dewilew2137]

Never let a Brit near any type of Jamaican food, is what I always say. Especially not gungo peas or a scotch bonnet pepper. I can’t believe she actually chopped the pepper. That was idiotic.

[@rupertprawnworthy758]

She lived in the Caribbean at some point apparently.

[@TheSpinDoctor]

@@rupertprawnworthy758 Never lived there, just a few seasons on and off in the late 70s working on charter yachts as a cook and also chartered many yachts there herself.

[@dolleyed594]

My favorite part about Two Fat Ladies is the insane amount of butter they use in every episode. ❤️

[@stephaniespragg5586]

Their butter quantity is on a par with Ina Garten’s butter quantity in each recipe - and she was also known to say, “Everything’s better with butter!”

"Don't let an American near a pumpkin" is too funny. This American gal does not like pumpkin pie..... I love the POV of all people and get a chuckle on these TFL comments. Cooking with them must have been a hoot.

[@RIXRADvidz]

bemoaning the sweet treatment of a pumpkin, nothing about a spiced pumpkin custard pie in a lard crumble crust. that's what Pumpkin Pie is around here.

[@susieQ128]

yep... very out spoken they were!! But very entertaining!!

[@zarachastellaris9016]

I don't like pumpkin pie either! Had rather too much of it as a child!

I'd hate to think what they'd make of the "Pumpkin spice" craze we've got over here!

[@gullreefclub]

@@zarachastellaris9016 They probably would think of it like I do and make jokes about it and consider the people who go bonkers for Starburnt Pumpkin Spice coffee to have defective taste buds

[@MichaelTwitchen]

I remember watching this show when I was a teenager. I loved it and cooking.

[@Juju2012ZA]

It's sad that Clarissa mentions factory farming /battery hens way back then and most people today don't care, especially considering we have alot more info available.

[@rupertprawnworthy758]

People thought prince Charles was insane when he was talking about sustainable organic farming and gardening in the 80s

[@andyrob3259]

@@rupertprawnworthy758 no people think he is insane because he talks to plants.

[@gullreefclub]

Do you know why in old movies and books such a big deal was made out the family roast chicken dinner on Sunday’s? It was because prior to large scale “factory farming’ of chickens it was extremely expensive and to many consider a luxury meal. My father tells stories of the once a month Sunday roast chicken dinner and how everyone got two to four slices of breast meat depending on the size of bird and little children could get a wing or a drumb stick instead of a slice of breast meat. After dinner any remaining meat was picked off the carcass. The carcass was boiled to make chicken broth and the remaining meat was used to make Chicken soup that was dinner normally on Tuesday because refrigerator were much smaller and unless you were rich you only had one so space in it was always in short supply. I am old enough to remember my mother buying eggs to hard boil three or four weeks before Easter because grocery stores would run out of them about a week or so before Easter and the price would increase by almost a dollar a dozen which in today’s grocery money value would be like 4 or 5 dollars. So people can witch and moan about factory chicken farming but personally I don’t really care because eggs and chicken are all things considered still reasonably priced today especially when look at the price of beef and ever increasing price of fresh vegetables and fruit.

[@Juju2012ZA]

@@gullreefclub In today’s world, most of us don’t need to consume animal products/by-products. The few that do have health conditions or live in a food desert. The price of animal agriculture (never mind the horrors surrounding the entire business) is having an effect today on the world around us. Fresh fruit/veg/lentils/grains are cheaper in more ways than 1. I’m not talking about exotic produce but produce which are hearty/filling and grow pretty much anywhere. To say that you “don’t care” speaks to your character btw.

[@mandocool]

As an American I'm not offended by their comments about our culture and taste in food. I certainly find some foods from other cultures absolutely disgusting too.

[@gullreefclub]

No problem with doing that as long as you wash your hands carefully afterwards. Just don’t rub your eyes or scratch you nose or other places before you do 😁

[@madabbafan]

I tend to put a little oil on the hand I am holding the chilli with ( but not the one I'm holding my knife with) the stuff that makes the chilli hot is fat soluble so this makes it easier to wash off at the end.

[@leighalmond4128]

It's so funny now to see them using such small knives to chop with while today most cooks use large chef's knives. And mixing with a dinner fork or spoon while I use spatulas and wooden large spoons or a whisk. Just something I noticed. Also she wears the same beautiful top every episode but in a different color. I love these ladies and watched them when I was young up until college maybe. So happy to find their old episodes! RIP

[@leighalmond4128]

Jennifer wears these gorgeous tunics with a split up the back over and over in different colors. I want one too! They look so elegant and comfortable.

[@merriemisfit8406]

I didn't notice that before -- maybe that's why I find their cooking relatable! No matter the size of the job, there I am chopping with a paring knife and mashing away with a dinner fork Even the whisks I use are pocket-sized -- small enough that I keep one in my purse in case I need it at work. Yet, somehow, I never develop any upper body strength ...

[@thelightinthedark8344]

WOOOoow this takes me back to my childhood

[@ronbenoit5237]

I saw most of their shows when they were still alive. I notice that in the standard versions, as shown on KZbin, a lot of the digs about Americans are left in. I guess I watched censored versions on PBS. They often get their facts wrong, such as Americans saying girdle instead of griddle.....oh well, too late to question them now.

[@amyeades9327]

actually it would be rum cake is their occasion cake , spiced bun and cheese we had as breakfast christmas day , just to keep us going till a massive dinner , all kinds of meats and rice and peas, veg and roast potato if you prefer

[@dewilew2137]

Gungo beans are pigeon peas, not mung beans. And I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it quite like that. 😅 Also, you’re not supposed to actually cut or crush the scotch bonnet pepper, at least not for rice and peas. It’s there for flavor, not for spice. There’s plenty of Jamaican hot sauces and jerk seasonings/sauces that have plenty of scotch bonnet. Adding spice to the rice would be overpoweringly spicy.

Not all Americans pie pumpkins

[@icebear713i]

"never let an American near a pumpkin"... awwwww. I love pumpkin pie. i wonder if they've only had ones that were what i'd also call nasty. good pumpkin pie should not be too sweet, the custard firm- not slimy or mushy, and should have a bit of cinnamon and good nutmeg. i'm not really insulted- i've seen the Ladies cook "authentic American" food that looks rather strange to me so i say the jokes and teasing can go both ways.

[@jamesdooling4139]

+Heather Cox My mother is English and my father Irish. The TFL are not alone in their opinion regarding Americans and pumpkin. That feeling is practically ubiquitous. I love pumpkin pie, but my family, not so much. I grew up in the U.S. eating it every winter -- several times each year -- but you have to imagine it from a different perspective. Such as, imagine if the English only used cucumbers or potatoes to make sweet, sugary Slurpees. It's about the same. Almost incomprehensible to we Yanks.

[@eileen1820]

I totally love these two, but it strikes me as annoying when someone who is not American (if you're American) insults your food, it feels weirdly personal. I think insulting ones country's foods, is often experienced as a personal insult. I'm always very respectful of other people and or culture's foods, so yeah...IDK, those little jabs bothered me. Also, I totally LOVE Pumpkin Pie!! It's so good and it's my youngest son's favorite dessert year round!

[@darkart7176]

Come. come... Cant you take a joke? Especially from two old ladies that already passed away? They were whooping it up just about everyone in their shows. Just put away pc bull and have a chuckle, even if it aimed at you. After all, everyone can laugh at others, but only people with sense of humor can laugh at themselves.
