Veronica was married to Sir Fitzroy Maclean, the legendary soldier and spy. This is their kitchen at Strachur House, we were neighbours in the 80s an 90s, lovely people and Fitz was probably one of the most impressive men I have ever met.
I could speak to someone like her for hours and enjoy every second of her knowledge and wisdom. Today's woman haven't got one tenth of their class and intelligent deminor. Shame
Couldn't imagine her arguing in jobcentre cos her benefit is a day late like the one eyed an legd shite that refuse to pass away these days. Class has been replaced by crass and will never recover from it.
The essence of true aristocracy, true nobility, is to have absolutely no pretentiousness at all; no airs-and-graces, no pomposity or artificial mannerisms. The graciousness will come through quite effortlessly by itself, and people will like you for it. ... snobbishness on the other hand ... (cough ...)
she can't help herself to ask him to remove his hat in the most polite fashion "do you always wear your hat indoors" then goes on to compliment his "magnificent hat"...
At the risk of sounding like an arse-kisser, there's something about the decorum with which individuals of her birth and upbringing conduct themselves I find to be very admirable. I have met only a couple of Lords and Ladies in my time, but every time, they've shown respect and decency to everyone around them, with no discrimination towards social status or the like. Who knows, it might be an act, but I find the effort towards making people feel as if they're in the company of their peers quite commendable.
I have to laugh at how terrified they are of flavour. A single bay leaf, couple of peppercorns, splash of white wine, all in about 3 litres of water? Salt? oh no, fish doesn't need salt!
A type of show that would happen again only if the world comes to end, then restarts. Simple, candid, 0 posing and full of lovely nonsense. Someone, please end the PC police.
What is there here that isn't PC? This is fantastic. and is entirely politically correct in every sense. The only reason you wouldn't see this nowadays is because styles and tastes have changed in television, as have television personalities. You don't need to try and blame everything on someone.
Big fan of floyd but if you manage to land a salmon in the rivers here then all you need to do it lay that salmon by the fire in foil and keep on basting it with butter and salt. anything else is barbaric!
@einTyp25 Thank goodness (God has nothing to do with your choice in life) that I'm not a vegetarian and, therefore, get to enjoy the TASTY things in life.
Thats more wrong than anything else You dont know if god has anything to do with it or not. And in fact, you might miss more TASTY things in life if you miss out on vegetarian dishes. Chew that real talk candy, cirgin
it so funny that the geezer dresses up to ape the posh bint - "do you always wear that hat on?" "my glorious thirty year old cooker" she posh he not innit - you can tell she look at the geezer and go like he one proper bit of jumped up nobody and no mistake hahahahahahaha

Thank you
The nice thing is I am sure they are both pissed. It's Lovely.
no u future kid. things were different back then.
@@Anudorini-Talah yes people were pissed all the time.
Yeah, alcoholism is lovely, isn’t it, old chap
The Lady is a gem.
How wonderfully disorganised as usual! She's splendid.
Floyd was marvellous, so much of the video is off the cuff and spontaneous. And he was an excellent cook and writer.
I love this lady.
I know, right? She is utterly charming.
I could speak to someone like her for hours and enjoy every second of her knowledge and wisdom. Today's woman haven't got one tenth of their class and intelligent deminor. Shame
Lady Veronica, a dying breed now.The poorer we are for it. Great British institutions.
I quite agree
@@mojo5093 well that escalated quickly
Couldn't imagine her arguing in jobcentre cos her benefit is a day late like the one eyed an legd shite that refuse to pass away these days. Class has been replaced by crass and will never recover from it.
her son is quite the character.
Thank good 😷☝️
A magnificent hat....a rolling boil...a hob heat...that old bird was something else
Hear, hear!
this man is a legend
Keith is always such a great watch
Jolly lovely video full of eccentricities and old fashioned humour.
I watched him as a kid, and loved how much he inspired my taste in food.
Absolute classic Floyd

Sylvan Peursum That's scottishness for you, we are a very polite bunch.
he's being rude to the cameraman as he's big gruff and she takes that away as take off that top hat i think. i would
This is superb
she's a delight
Watching this while eating salmon in this sauce with a glass of white is the way to do it. Feels like sitting there with them both.
Love how Lady Whatshername questions Floyd on his hat after he bullies the cameraman.
Magical!
Thank you 🙏
Great times! And manners
Beats any cooking program today
the dog sound effect when he throws his hat LOL
Do love a good old flat cap
The best…perfection 👍
Pure Gold.
Drunk already...what a guy...love his TV persona...probably a nightmare in all other parts of his life...
Heaven personified..
Fish Cattle!!!! The Emperor of telly Chefs!
This woman’s husband may have been one of the inspiration for James Bond
Lol she reminds me of my old piano teacher
@TobiasGorn Well stated. He will never have an equal.
Lady Veronica and Floyd are totally PISHED!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
What a charming lady, rebuking Keith for wearing his cap indoors
I wonder if David Walliams was inspired by this lady to create his jam tasting / throwing up battle-axe 🤣
I wish Britain could be the way it was back then.

Veronica looks and sounds like Victoria Wood performing one of her characters, perhaps a customer from Acorn Antiques 🙂
Ah this is magnificent! Is this the lady that Billy Connolly talks about with the recipe for the leftover venison??
No
*pours wine, getting ready to empty the bottle*....
"That's enough!!"
@vaslav030547 lmao xD your comment made the video so much more enjoyable! and thats saying something where Floyd is involved!
@realsuperherodude is there anything wrong abt that?
Veronica Maclean is her name BBC not Mclane, sort it out mate
Aye, guv'nor, sorted!
What's a 'streamer'?
@realsuperherodude at least they didn't cook the salmon using the Jack Daniels
he had quite a penchant for ledgers apparently
She is roasting the poor chap.
she has a very nice english
Veronica McClean died in 2005 aged 84.
Oh, how did you know?
Scottish wild salmon walk away!
Love history "has it got lice" haha love it canny beat the auld school
very Julia Child :) !!!
She prefers a small salmon.
Exactly gordon ramsay the way he speaks voice energy
I have to laugh at how terrified they are of flavour. A single bay leaf, couple of peppercorns, splash of white wine, all in about 3 litres of water? Salt? oh no, fish doesn't need salt!
When dealing with a product like wild scottish salmon, it’d be criminal to marinade, or throw spices on it, throw in endless herbs with it
@@rmac8378 I could not agree more, but some salt. Please, at very least, a good pinch of salt, twice as much wine, pepper and bay.
Why spoil the flavour of good fish?
@nighterjay balderdash
Lady Veronica Maclean and Les Patterson... seperated at birth? The resemblance is simply uncanny.
Wasn’t he wonderful - and dont we all miss him…😢
Damn salmon farms

One Bay leaf
Another Scottish wild salmon search. go back to google foooooool! w e are here for the memorabilia!.
Wash it awff!
Old ladys and a high operatic voice. 😅

Mines a triple larger
Keith wasnt posh.
That fish looks more bland than a white wall

Chew that real talk candy, cirgin
i can't tell if this is a comedy bit or a real show 😶
Not a scot in sight
The last word against privileged English people being mad and incoherent. Oh, wait...
I love Keith but that Salmon would taste like nothing. It's just boiled and the sauce is atrocious
Two posh English people in Scotland...
They do love it up here unfortunately
I think Keith would've recoiled at you calling him posh.
You are so wrong, she is the sister of the great Lord Love and was the wife of Sir Fitzroy MacLean she couldn't be more Scots
Bland
it so funny that the geezer dresses up to ape the posh bint - "do you always wear that hat on?" "my glorious thirty year old cooker" she posh he not innit - you can tell she look at the geezer and go like he one proper bit of jumped up nobody and no mistake hahahahahahaha
Food looked like it tastes of cardboard.
Compare this to todays cookery show drivel
COLD CUCUMBERS WITH COOKED SALMON???? HOW DREADFUL!!!
