One fat lady

BBC News - TV chef Clarissa Dickson Wright dies

Clarissa Dickson Wright has died. She was my favourite fat lady.

She was very Lovely! RiP

I always liked their cookery programmes, pretty entertaining.

Never very impressed with her cooking, but she certainly had some quality stories of drinking!

I agreed with much of her Countryside campaigning - but she was always going to be facing an uphill struggle to be taken seriously on that with some people having squandered -

A Promising career as a Barrister
A £2.8 Million inheritance

and been declared bankrupt numerous times.

She was certainly a character and a one-off though.

I found her story of coming out of a massive booze blackout at the Falklands war victory parade and not knowing there had been a war pretty fookin' impressive. I think she lost weeks or months.

no fat ladies

Oops - forgot the other one had already gone!

[Gittins Gal]

Oh no!

I loved them both and I loved their no-nonsense traditional recipes.

Clarissa was a great countrywoman and I met her a couple of times at the West Doset Show in Melplash.

She showed me how to dress a rabbit.

Honest, warm and friendly - unlike some of the vacuous individuals masquerading as foodies on the box these days.

RIP

And only 66.

Too young.

Must have been all that healthy eating.

Thought this was going to be another self loathing thread.
