RIP Clarissa Dickson Wright
-
The other 2/3rds of the Two Fat Ladies has died aged 66. (The first 2/3rds, Jennifer Paterson died several years ago). An alcoholic who pissed away £2.8 Million! That is some partying, I am surprised she lived as long as she did. I last saw her selling Rabbit and Pheasant dishes to Students in a university as part of the Great British Food programme. She did have a rather marvellous beard and moustache by this point. A great eccentric and raconteur, she shall be missed! Telegraph Obit[^]

Loved the Two Fat Ladies shows. Purchased one of their receipt books, which just reading gives you high cholesterol.

Yes - but...she hadn't drunk alcohol for 27 years, nearly 28. That £2.8M was spent in 12 years... :omg: Rest In Peace One Fat Lady: we probably won't see your like again. :rose:

Is that for the £2.8M?

Ironically she died 22 years too early.

Awww that's sad news :( A larger than life character who was definitely politically incorrect, even in her cooking. :-D My wife & I met her a couple of times in 2010 when we stayed at a pub in Cheshire called the Cholmondeley Arms, well actually Chopper (our 5 pound short haired chihuahua) met her & she really liked him...we just happened to be there to witness the meeting :-D
