Two Fat Ladies

I am so thrilled that this is finally available in the states. Jennifer(God rest her soul) and Clarissa are so entertaining. I would say the recipes are not for the American pallet, the best part is seeing all the various places in the UK that they visit and who they cook for.
They are so interesting and they tell little quips of their lives.

This set of videos is exactly what I expected-- dry British humor, interesting food preparations and two eccentric "seasoned" chefs with a beautiful English backdrop. Clarissa and Jennifer are a hoot and I'd love to have a dinner party with them!

Maybe I was under a false impression, but I expected better, funnier and more appetizing!

As a cooking show, this may not fit all tastes. Not politically correct by any means, all dishes are loaded with butter or lard and many contain almost radioactive doses of anchovies. The dishes are british comfort food geared toward that audience. But the title tells what you need to see this for-those lusty ladies. Two old party gals that will take you to a different british setting each program while serving up not only a beautiful meal to diverse people such as ambassadors, barristers, lumberjacks and boyscouts but also dishing out stories, song and their own point of view on life. They may be fat, but they are PHAT!

This set of DVD's is a pure delight. We live in an America where everything is sanitized, pretty, and size 6 or smaller. Here are two fat ladies who tool around on a motorcycle with a side car, meet interesting people while seeing their country, and throw together some pretty amazing dinner parties. They aren't pretty, they aren't glamorous, and they have fun being themselves without worrying about what anybody else thinks. And clearly, the people that they encounter along the way enjoy the experience! What a great lesson in life!
