I just love Mary Berry. I just watched her video about her and her husband Pauls 50th wedding anniversary. How young she is here, her childten are still young, her sons still alive so that terror hasnt visited yet. She is such a joy. A true treasure. God bless her and her family. Xo
The simplicity and the innocence of these retro shows is totally missing in the modern cookery shows. Thanks to the distracting background music or unnecessary chatter by the cook.
I absolutely loved watching this cooking segment with Mary Berry. I'm in NY, and only know her from the baking cook off series. Thank you so much, I will enjoy them all.
I've discovered Mary Berry recently, watching her more recent shows, which I adore. One thing I noticed about this show from 40+ years ago is that the measures and temperatures are not metric or "FAN". When did Great Britain make the switch?
I remember learning metric back then as a child in the USA. I never could remember the conversions and wondered why on earth did we need to change? I guess I got my wish, the USA still uses the Imperial scale. It would make life easier if we were like the rest of the world. Perhaps one day.
TheRenaissanceman65 you didn’t mention that by law all licensed beer and cider sold in restaurants, bars and pubs must be sold in pints or half pints. And we use lots of other imperial measurements such as miles and yards for distance on roads. We use MPH and all cars have to read in MPH first, all signs are in imperial. Day to day we use lots as well. We use feet and inches to measure ourselves, stones and pounds for weight. Inches for penis size. Then TVs and other devices are measured for screen size in inches. Clothing is in inches. Shoe size is in baryleycorns (but no one has heard of that measurement). We use Troy ounce for gold and jewellery. Hands are used to measure the height of horses. We use MPG as well. PSI for tyre pressure. We use acres for land. Square feet for advertising office space and floor space. Not to mention worldwide the use of feet in aviation, mph and nautical miles, calories etc. So many. We use so many in conversation and applied. This is how it is staying now.
Just watched several seasons of the Great British Bake Off. Mary Berry is much older now than in the film above, but I was amused to hear her say that puff pastry is the one pasty she buys and doesn't bother to make. In the baking show, the contestants have to make their own puff pastry. Which, I admit, I thought was pretty much impossible. Then again, I saw a LOT of baking on that show that I would have thought impossible. Had never even heard of about 99% of it before now, and still don't know what a frangipani is. Will have to Google it. Hmmm . . . looking over the great many videos featuring Mary Berry on CZcams that go back many years, I wonder if she is to Britain what Julia Child was to America.
That would be Fanny Cradock, I think. She was big on French-esque cuisine and a contemporary of Julia's. Look for her videos; she was an epic figure, to say the least.
@TheRenaissanceman65 50 odd years ago, my mother in law showed me how to make soda water pastry. It is ice cold butter cut into the flour and then ice cold soda water is added to bind it. Place it in the fridge for half an hour, roll out and use. Never ever fails and tastes much nicer than the bought pastry. I never buy pastry.
Beef tea used to be beef stock and bits of beef scraped off the meat, and simmered with carrots added, and given to an invalid or someone recovering from illness, to strengthen their immune system. It isn’t really used now. In Joan Aiken’s wonderful novel The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, the Doctor and children give Sylvia’s Aunt Jane beef tea, as she is ill and malnourished.

Good segment. Love these old 70's cooking shows. But she's made a big mistake. She added way too much meat to the frying pan. When you do that, you end up steaming the meat and not browning it. She needed to do it in batches. I understand she's short on time. But could have mentioned the right way to do it. Still love these spots.
I always have a bag of chopped onion, celery and finely chopped carrots in my freezer. I was taught that that is the base of French and Italian cooking.
I agree! In the classroom, it is not legal to allow students to depend on these subtitles that are sound generated - (if students are deaf/hard of hearing) because they are soooo terrible. This is for ALL subtitles that I see, however, much better with open captioning e,g., in foreign films. I long for the day when we can get some improvement. They defeat the purpose of captions! Perhaps there could be an option that google offers whereby people can type up transcripts which could be opened....which would be accurate. That would be awesome!
That was the theory. A theory that has been debunked. It is the transfats in seed oils that cause the heart attacks. Ancel Keyes has a lot to answer for.
@TheRenaissanceman65 Interesting how you defend Mary in a tone deaf manner to every single humourous response. Get a life, dude and stop being a d!ck to everyone. It's called a sense of humour.
She's playing the everyman to Mary's expert since dialogues are much nicer to listen to than monologues (I will admit, though, they don't play off each other well). As for her hand, Mary had polio as a child.
Keep these Mary Berry segments coming until you run out! They are by far my favourite thing on this channel. :-)
BBC600 : I second that !! :-)
Here, here!!!

This daytime programme was quality, unlike the annoying and smug presenters of what ITV offers us these days.
Boy, has her delivery changed.

She is wonderful! Thank you for these old videos!!
I love this series, it’s a delight to watch. Fascinating archive from times gone by, but in my own lifetime.
From the days when people knew how to cook very well on a budget. Great stuff.
Thanks for this! Love seeing early Mary!
Great shows have learned a lot keep the video's coming thank you
Thanks for uploading all these wonderful old shows!
Mary Berry is My favourite Chef
I love her too! I also love Martha, Julia, and Giada...Emeral, Chef John Folse and Mrs. Cocrumbe!
Finally another one i love these. awesome channel
For once, I won’t be left craving after the video. I made a chicken pot pie and it’s cooking as I write this.
Love retro cooking shows
love the cabinet behind them

Early 1970s, entering the European Economic Community.
Proper old school like when I did city guilds in the 90s so many years of Mary she's legendary
My nan always kept a tub of lard in the fridge. When she made a full English breakfast always had the fried bread. How times have changed!
Alfred Romeo mine left it next to the stove!
A LAIR, all round the outside Judy! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love Judiths hmmm and really Mary comments. Its all Victoria Woods Margery and Joan.
It is clearly obvious they are both laughing at the " Fgt " of herbs , as that word was used very widely in 1977/ 70s / 80s whatever.

I Much prefer Mary’s cooking to Julia’s . She is so efficient. I wish they had these back on television. So enjoyable to watch.
A friend who lives in the UK calls Mary a "national treasure." :)

they talk so much about 'lean meat' and then fry it all it lard or dripping lol
lard or dripping is way wealthier than any heat processed oil. Now if you are comparing it with olive oil then it might not be.
Love it. That meat was beautiful.
WHAT IS BEEF TEA
Sounds like hot beef stock.
@@allgone4615like Bovril......very good.

Enjoy listening to the English accent.
Agnes CFLee - And when she says “it’s jolly good, Judy!”
"An English accent", there are more than one.
The salt stayed on the spatula! Lol. Going to be a bit tasteless.
Actually looks very good. Going to make it with shin. Yumm
Why doesn’t Mary use a whisk when she incorporates the stock? It all looks a bit lumpy….
She's not going to scrape a pan with metal item, She's using a wooden spoon.
Hmmm shin delish
Good to see Imperial units being used.
A fa**ot of herbs??!! 😳😳😳
Yes, that's one of the names that means a bundle of herbs.
What wrong with that?
Too bad the end cards get in the way at the end. I HATE those!
Who wants lean meat? The fat is where the flavour comes from.
I wonder what’s wrong with Mary Berry’s hand?
Monica G. Davis she had polio at 13
Mary had polio as a child and that is a side effect of it.
Good segment. Love these old 70's cooking shows. But she's made a big mistake. She added way too much meat to the frying pan. When you do that, you end up steaming the meat and not browning it. She needed to do it in batches. I understand she's short on time. But could have mentioned the right way to do it. Still love these spots.
3:23 Did she say eat the children?
They hardly used veg in anything then. I’d be putting carrots, swede and potato in this
I always have a bag of chopped onion, celery and finely chopped carrots in my freezer. I was taught that that is the base of French and Italian cooking.
Mirapoix.
The golden triangle.
The vegetables were served separately.
Notice that they didn't use heavy pot and skillets. Today they are designer cookware. And she's sloppy while cutting the crust.
Yeah no le crusseir and other middle class bollox
She used a Teflon frying pan...
@@1943ofourshe still does.
Judy is just there. Mary frequently ignores her or just brushes over her comments. Poor Judy just hovering pointlessly.
They could have treated themselves to a glass of red bless them , wish they had
Not a bit of steam came from that pie
you can see the meat steaming when she puts it on the plate
Interesting she uses ounces and such rather than grams.
That's what was used.
It’s knocking me sick how she’s touching the brown beef like that... absolutely disgusting
Terrible subtitles!!!! But love Mary Berry
I agree! In the classroom, it is not legal to allow students to depend on these subtitles that are sound generated - (if students are deaf/hard of hearing) because they are soooo terrible.

raw beef germs everywhere 😣
and yet everyone lived!
Alot of unnecessary steps. That's just meat and onion. Where's potatoes, peas, carrots too?
Berry was unskilled and winged it

Brought puff pastry 🤔 oh mary
i think her grans on the tv now, she's got the same name but looks older.
Rod you silly big pile of jelly.
Dripping the cause of many heart attacks
That was the theory. A theory that has been debunked. It is the transfats in seed oils that cause the heart attacks. Ancel Keyes has a lot to answer for.
@@lizeggar2421Interesting
God..............maybe its the old tv coloring or maybe it was her saying "brush on milk" but i'd die before I ate that
Then you don't appreciate people going hungry.
That's terrible!!!!!!! If that is French Casserole, I'm Marie-Antoinette! WHAT-A-SHIT!!!!.....Mary is better now! 40 years later!
@TheRenaissanceman65 Interesting how you defend Mary in a tone deaf manner to every single humourous response. Get a life, dude and stop being a d!ck to everyone. It's called a sense of humour.
I’m an ex veggie, and even I can’t believe she used the word “beast” to describe an animal that’s given its life to feed people.
If you go to a livestock market or agricultural show, that is how cattle are correctly labelled. It is the proper term.
Judith is meant to act this way or is she like that naturally?
which way?
Like she’s in the way, adds nothing to the segment?
She was one of the hosts of this show. Mary Berry was at that time a contributor who was on the show once a month.
We have all this meat in front of us 😛
Poor Mary having to cook on those awful electric rings like something off a Baby Belling!
Lol, I still cook on them.
@@kimberlynreetz3840me too and the old ones were very responsive.
Looks like shit-pie, never and ever seen that in France, so weird and so far from the amazing recipes she shares with us now.
if bought at super market the pastry would be frozen, so you cannot refreeze frozen pastry
No one in Britain in the 70s bought frozen pastry! Was it even available?
You definitely could buy frozen puff pastry in the seventies
The times when vegs were an option, not obligatory...
You ate the veg with the pie. We always ate loads of veg inthe 70s.
There’s no point in Judith Chalmers being there. Also what’s up with Mary’s left hand?
She's playing the everyman to Mary's expert since dialogues are much nicer to listen to than monologues (I will admit, though, they don't play off each other well). As for her hand, Mary had polio as a child.
Great seeing people not held back by autism.
