I love her soothing voice . I could listen to her talk all day . No wonder William & harry liked spending a lot of time in the kitchen with her . She seems so kind and a great lady to hang out with ..

Bacon should be it's own food group.

@@CarolSmith_authoress_ I completely agree.

a buttery bacon tastes rather, sexy.

Agreed

Altho I appreciate enthusiasm, I think he talks WAY too much, and seems to be enamored with the sound of his own voice, and being domineering w imparting his knowledge, at the expense of us hearing more from another expert on the floor (i.e., the very knowledgeable and competent chef). Because of his intent to fill almost every air molecule with the sound of his voice, I couldn't finish watching an otherwise sublime documentary.

@@stephaniek1076 Completely in agreement with your comment. Couldn't get past the first quarter of this video...kind of a shame

I agree .. I lived in england for a year and I loved all the walking paths that you could stroll through and all the places to see that had historic connections to the past . It is like stepping back in time . It is so laid back in milton keynes where I lived compared to my city in florida ..

I enjoy bbc and bbc2. Especially their nature programs.

Agreed the British also know their history 😅 can’t say amaricans know they don’t even learn the correct name of who found amarica 😂😇

@Chairman Bi Den Uncle Zho Stalin wow 🤦🏼‍♀️

I love British tv.

Sir you have piqued my interest; tell me more

More stories!!!

Everyone in my family was born there. And my father moved, on a whim, and took us all far away. I wish I had thought about moving back to "where the lovely gardens grow" but you get caught up in family matters and their concerns become more important and the time passes and you become part of a world pandemic and it's "game over." The gardens are particularly lovely to view. There's no place like home.

Michael flirts shamelessly with Annah too! 'I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of your whisk!'

Thank you! Never knew this about my fave drink. 👏☕

@@annapurna2389 same here...very interesting.

Oooh, fascinating stuff!

Lovely. Thank you!

Fabulous history!!

The South is peak culture.

eric johnson And all blue-jeans are white to start out, I learned recently. What a clot I was. Of course they are. There are no plants that grow blue threads especially for jeans.

I remember my father soaking his USAF uniforms in coffee before washing to keep the color. Obviously, this was many, many years ago.

Very interesting!

@@oceanyoung4514 Of course there's an "indigo" plant but "dye" is the magic word. You have to ferment the indigo plant to produce the indigo dye. There are no "indigo" cotton balls growing on plants the way white cotton does. All cotton jeans start out white and THEN they must be dyed. It would look pretty, though, with puffy indigo balls of cotton on the plants. If you find something different let me know.

Khaki actually came from Urdu (Persian) for "soil colored". The English borrowed the word from the British Indian Army.

That is disgusting.

@@Patrick3183 Don't knock it until you've tried it. My grands are happy, healthy and active.

I have to say; I love your grandchildren. ❤️

That is delicious. As I read this I eat oxtail with watercress sauce. I love the bone marrow on toast. Your grandchildren have a great taste. That’s my kind of food.

@@gildafontoura1340 ooooh ! I love oxtail (it’s gotten so expensive here in the U.S.) and especially love watercress - though it’s next to impossible to find most times. We never ever see cress sprouts here. I’m in a not especially sunny apartment otherwise I’d grow my own.

😂😂😂

I know!!! Yes he’s so annoying!! He keeps interrupting her and making fun of her. And he thinks he makes up for it by giving her compliments every once in a while. It feels like a male from a royal family interacting with a female servant. The power dynamic that he imposes is awkward.

You read MY MIND. The host is annoying and asking necessary questions. His overall presence is highly unnecessary. He truly needs to shut the f@$!! up.

Okay I’m glad someone else said it 😂 exactly what I was thinking. He was a total prick to her the whole time.

Thank you thank you +rollnwhoahey Totally on point. Plus some of his supposed prim and proper comments are borderline off color which might’ve passed in years gone by but no more Bub. It’s time to put this guy out to pasture.

😅😂

Rough puff? 🤣

That's sad, I like making my own except in the summer months but our store bought puff pastries are good enough, nothing like home made but just fine and convenient.

yup. Throw some sausage and eggs up in those grits.....

@Jannet Polenta and grits are essentially the same thing. The only real difference is that polenta is traditionally made with yellow corn meal and grits is traditionally made with white corn meal.

@Jannet Yes! Cream of wheat or oatmeal for us Yankees, too. Ask for it in the South and you'll get a look like you just burned down Atlanta. XD

Not exactly; polenta is ground differently

@@FloresOrtodoxas That sounds absolutely delicious

I love to use CAPS TOO!!!!

I used to work in a rare book library, and I can tell you about this one! Gloves actually aren't worn when handling delicate paper because the risk of bending or breaking something is greater when you don't have sense of touch. Hands are washed beforehand though!

English people do not understand that bacon is supposed to be crispy. :-|

Arteries: Are we a joke to you?

the british like their bacons to taste like butter......

@@annecohen8927 oh, my

My family uses bacon fat to fry eggs. I pour hot bacon fat in a mason jar and keep it in the fridge. Yes, its very unhealthy, but we only have fried eggs on the weekends as a part of a full breakfast.

interesting!!

American biscuits are more like a scone in texture than like bread. A flaky biscuit is the ideal. The dish they call 'biscuits and gravy" is American biscuits smothered in a cream gravy usually with cooked bits of breakfast sausage added to it.

@@oltedders Yes. And speaking as an American, I can say I’ve eaten this dish off and on for most of my life. It is the only way I like our biscuits. I can say I’ve never had a British scone, but I’m curious.

@@vrhetinst If a muffin was made with dough instead of batter it would be a scone. A somewhat flatter version though. The dough is usually rolled out in a circle, the same thickness as biscuit dough, and cut into eighths before baking.

oltedders Thank you. Also unlike American biscuits, I have heard that scones are usually sweetened. Is this correct?

He was nicknamed "tum-tum."

@@rogerlephoque3704 Interesting! After reading this, I've nicknamed my fattest cat Tum-Tum.

@@Discordia5 A bit like cats everywhere, old tum-tum was fond of roaming. As Prince of Wales, the king-in-waiting, he often "roamed" around Paris, no doubt sating his prodigious appetites for pleasures of the table and flesh in equal measure! He was very fond of the local "fauna and flora", especially the City of Light's renowned "belle epoque" bordellos, reserved for the great and good of the day. The "entente" between Britain and France was evidently most "cordiale"...

Imagine three huge meals a day. I guess when he was still very active he could manage big meals but after his injury he still wanted the huge meals that were not burn as before. Happens to many still.

@@Discordia5 cute 🐱 fat kitty.

Also loved the sound of egg and haddock for breakfast with toast soldiers 👍

Yes, I was shocked to see that.

Gloves are sensible when handling many types of objects but all leading institutions advice against using gloves when handling rare books. Library of Congress in the US issued their recommendations decades ago. British Library and National Archives in the UK have come to similar conclusions. It's unclear why the myth surrounding gloves persists. Current rules are simple: clean hands, no hand creams, no gloves. Gloves provide a false illusion of cleanliness. They are also abrasive and reduces the sense of touch. Text is rubbed off, pages are torn and books are being dropped. I have seen far too many examples during my 30 years as a conservator. Damages caused by skin excretions does occur but are quite rare. They are usually caused by heavy use in past times.

We use a travel portable kettle or an immersion heater when traveling. It’s not only perfect for tea/coffee but is perfect to boil an egg in the kettle too (though we sometimes travel with ready made hard boiled eggs. They’re an excellent quick meal (we have diabetics in the family so we keep an eye on food availability.)

The South was actually very British.

Yes, PLEASE!!!!

Oh, they should absolutely do that!
