A delicious mincemeat omelette by Fanny Cradock. She wants you to see it’s still wet in the middle.

If powdered sugar were a heat source, that thing would be burnt to a crisp.

The fork straight to pan is killing me 😭

You know ‘mincemeat’ in this context isn’t literal minced meat – it’s a sweet confection of currants, apples, citrus peel and spices. Fanny was a monster but not THAT mad.
NunchucksHURRRGH
Watch these 5 episodes every Christmas on BBC iplayer, Fanny Craddock’s Culinary Abortions, you should see the episode where she cuts a turkey in half with a pair of gardening shears, absolute fucking magic television.

The way she takes the pan at the end… Like she is going to stab someone with it.

Those sleeves are ridiculous for life, much less cooking around an open flame.

Minus the sugar, it looks like a proper classic french omelette.

Why was everything so much worse back in the day?
Why the fuck use a fork at all while its in the pan? Where my silicon spatula gang at?

The fucking icing sugar dude. I can’t with this shit.
I’ve seen Chef Club videos that induce less rage.

TIL that Fanny Craddock was a TV chef. My mum used to say stuff like “Who do you think you are? Fanny Craddock?” and I had NFI who that was.

Is that what Brits think is an omelette? I’ve cooked in breakfast restaurants and that is not what we ever served.

I prefer her sister, Fanny Batter 👀

Want to annoy Xoomers? Point out that the days of grandma’s cooking being best are drawing to a close. Grandma was raised on TV dinners, gelatin salads, all-in casseroles, and whatever the hell this is.

Fascinating woman for those who don’t know – she started as a theatre act where she’d cook meals with her RL husband, who played the role of the stereotypical henpecked/brow-beaten husband and followed her orders. They’d then serve the food to the audience while doing comedy. She eventually became the first UK celebrity chef in the television age, and was well-liked for a long time because she tended to have a comedic delivery and took pains in the post-war era to make sure her dishes were economical to prepare. Unfortunately, she aged poorly – her food was always very 1950s (French-influenced, lots of food dye, lots of gelatin), and as she got older she got super self-conscious about her appearance and so would slather on makeup and wear ridiculous gowns, which just made her look more and more strange.
She finally destroyed her own career – full story’s in the Wiki, but basically this nice, working-class lady participated in a contest to get to cook a meal for aristocrats and celebrities, and she was allowed to bring in a critic to offer help with her planned menu; this lady chooses Fanny Craddock. Craddock /tears her a new one/ – rips her menu to shreds as basically being unfit for Important People, and condescendingly interrupts her defense of it with “dear, you’re among professionals now” – and then made a bunch of weird claims like “the UK never had its own cuisine.” The public was furious, and the resulting letter-writing campaign got all her shows cancelled.

JFC! She’s beating the hell out of that stove. I guess that softens up the food?

I remember watching Fanny Cradock, with my mum when I was young. And she would always ask, what is she doing wrong and telling me the right way instead.

Her drooping polyester sleeves concern me.

Didn’t we hear her reading Kipling in the 28 Years Later trailer? “There’s no disCHARGE in the omelette.”
