Mary Berry makes dessert | Cream Desserts | Good Afternoon | 1974 

pro tip : watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.

@Kyrie Shiloh Yup, I've been using Flixzone} for since november myself =)

Star Belt!

Right?? That was at the beginning of some PBS shows back in the day. Love it 😍

Everything has to be so fussy today. Simple is also good.

@TheRenaissanceman65 heheeh thanks for commenting!

I am sure the milkman would have popped some cream wherever you would have wished! Nice Lady .

Ours did a lovely selection of Dunster farm yogurts.....

@TheRenaissanceman65 wrong. It's only in the last 15 years that "Coronation Street" have had a "P" indicating 'product placement ' at that start of the titles. Also they always had tins and branded containers turned around to obscure the brand logo .

Reminds me a bit of a forerunner to tiramisu.

​@@annoldham3018my thoughts exactly

Yes. It was so funny. Especially Victoria Woods fake tan that ended abruptly below the shoulders, as Judith was on the famous package holiday programme wish you were here around this time too. 😂🥰

And god bless, shes aged like wine rather than cream.

I think they'd been at the sherry beforehand.....

@@annoldham3018 🤔 My Sherry before.. 🎶

I know what you are saying but Great British Bake Off is a competition. This was an afternoon show aimed at housewives, and in a time when being economical was of great priority. These days we have celebrity chef's for entertainment. Mary Berry was trained as a home economist, testing recipes and demonstrating how to use new appliances. These segments were more for demonstrating what could be done than for our entertainment.

It was not rationed at time but expensive. In 1970s it was more common to have tinned evaporated milk. Real cream was treat. Fridges came later in uk than America. When my mother was a child evaporated milk would be more common than fresh cream. They would not have a fridge for keeping cream or milk.

It was post 1973 oil crisis and the economy was in a mess, household budgets were tight (like they are increasingly becoming now). Inflation adjusted, that 1 pint of double cream cost about £4 which would have been considered extravagant considering you could easily make a main meal for 4 costing less than that. The ethos of the show was to make your money go as far as possible and simple recipes that ordinary people could copy easily at home. Also large supermarket chains had not yet totally taken over grocery retail in the UK so many people still shopped at smaller local stores or town markets which is why she keeps saying you can get these almost anywhere now - i.e even the smaller local retailers now stock these.

To add to this, in 2023, inflation adjusted, that pint of double cream would’ve cost £4.50. I’ve just checked Sainsbury’s online, and 600ml, just over a pint, costs £2.30. The oil crisis of the mid seventies hit America very badly too. But we had the double whammy of strikes by energy workers. Not that I blame them, they were striking for a basic wage of £30 a week for men over 21 - about £1,240 a month in 2023. Extremely difficult to live on. So there were energy outages almost daily in some parts. In 1974 I was 5, and I can honestly say I don’t remember the power cuts. So Mary Berry and Judith Chalmers were performing a public service doing economical recipes that were quick and still tasted good.

Sheer decadence Courtney, sheer decadence. 🥰

Inflation adjusted, that works out at around £4 in today's money!

@@soundseeker63£4.51 in 2023. In Sainsbury’s today, 600ml (near enough a pint) is £2.30, so 50p was expensive in 1974.

Haha. Hilarious. I love that posh speaking style.

About 03:15.

Judith Chalmers. The doyenne of daytime TV. 🤩🥰

Hi Ann.. thanks so much, regards from Singapore, take care.

I used to love the sterlised tinned cream, usually served with tinned fruit (in syrup), often after Sunday lunch😂 it was quite thick, and I can see my dad shaking the tin vigorously before opening😀

Depending on where you live you can look in the INTERNATIONAL FOODS aisles.

Ricotta is very different to clotted cream

Back when this video was filmed butter, lard, cream, suet and dripping were what people ate yet obesity was lower.

@@qwertasdcfghjklmo24z Yeah funny isn't it how many rich and supposedly "fattening" foods people used to eat routinely back then and yet obesity was extremely rare and childhood obesity largely unheard of.... I Wonder why! lol

@@soundseeker63 Peope weren't constantly snacking then like we do today

Julio Gonzalez Things are different in the UK. 😊 I’m a native New Yorker but I lived in Manchester England for several years.

Its called an imperial pint.

Julio, your ignorance demonstrates a glaring gap in your knowledge. In the UK a pint is an imperial measure of 20 fluid ounces; in the US a pint is 16 US fluid ounces. Although different quantities, they are both called pints.

@@pussypostlethwaitsaeronaut8503 Julio was saying the same as you!

She's trying to show all these recipes really quickly for the segment.

and the cream/yoghurt/brown sugar creme brulee did look quite horrible too...

There's a tacky horrible buffet restaurant here that still does that for dessert.

That ginger biscuit loaf looked fowl! Ewww

@TheRenaissanceman65 that's where your wrong I am forcing them to watch this. I will let them go once they've watch at least 10 of these clips

@TheRenaissanceman65 it's a joke....

4 ounces is 110ml or 110g. A quarter is a quarter of a pint, or 5 ounces.

@@nathanjustus6659 beautifully explained Nathan. Us British love our quarters and ounces.

She was a TV presenter for "Good Morning" show. These are the cooking segments.

My mum couldn't stand her but people said she looked like her. And she did!😂😂😂

To keep Mary on track and on time.
