yum yum yum
and not only wonderfully raspberryish and soft and juicy sweet-sharp delicious (especially with nearly-lashings but not quite too much cream)
but also with that edge of potential silliness in the word "raspberry" with its great comedic potential...
...exploited most sublimely this classic of British TV comedy:
Hilarious! A mini musical! And that line-up costume! The Inspector looks like Austin Powers!! Yeah baby!
ReplyDeleteThe berries look very tasty. One can't enjoy them enough.
ReplyDeleteFun video.
Nothing wrong with tea! My favorite is Jasmine Pearl. Summer afternoons are iced tea of our own making also.
We're tea snobs also. Cheers!
We got rain too, at the Grand Ol' Canyon!
ReplyDeleteHehehe Spike Milligan, woohoo!
ReplyDeleteand isn't that Ronnie Barker uder that facial hair?
Or is it the other Ronnie?
I spent the last 3 weeks on holiday dashing around England... and funnily enough I may have been in the Ipswich area at the same time as you!! Pics will be posted soon.
mmmmmm those raspberries look delish!
Oh I was happy to see Ronnie Barker as the butler, the copper and the edward! Whatever became of poor Granville? We never see him anymore!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE British comedy! I watched the whole thing and laughed at that droll silly humor.
ReplyDeleteYour picture of raspberries (with their little hairs visible) makes me hungry for berries. Unfortunately by the time they come to us they are usually in little plastic boxes and there are often a couple of moldy ones. There is a lot to be said for eating straight from the vine/bush!
I LOVE raspberries (the ones to eat, that is).
ReplyDeleteI'm not keen on raspberries but MWM adores them. I do love Ronnie Barker though!
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell those raspberries through the screen .... mmmmmmmmmm
Loved the 2 Ronnies vid too.
Those look so tempting ... lucky you to have raspberries in season. The phantom raspberry blower video was hilarious. I loved the police lineup and Queen Victoria. Thanks for this.
ReplyDeleteraspberries; a Cockney expression, no? that was classic, that . . .
ReplyDeleteGranville? Didn't he metamorphose into Del Boy and Inspector Frost (among other roles)?
ReplyDeleteYum! I love raspberries so so much.
ReplyDeleteThe British humor, as always, flies right over my head. I think I'm missing a crucial humor gene or something. But I believe it's funny ... just don't get why.
For some reason the two Ronnies remind me of Rocky & Bullwinkle. Same goofy plot! Same (many) lovely personalities.
ReplyDeleteha! you're right bella, he does look a little like austin powers.
ReplyDeletecoffee messiah, even happier to "meet" you if you're a tea snob too! ;op (we've been having iced tea with rooibosch and fresh orange juice mmmmm)
ex-shammie, they're both sporting some splendid facial hair. funny to think of you in ipswich too!
tf - we see granville quite a bit in repeats... tho as the dotterel says, he's moved on to other things
barbara, raspberries never get very cheap to buy over here, so it is wonderful to have them in the garden. fresh off the bush for breakfast.... yum
D-D, not the other kind? how disappointing ;-p
lamalu, hard to see how anyone wouldn't, isn't it?
betty did you ever get round to planting some? they are easy-peasy to grow...
kate, i think this was the definitive Queen Vic!
tut-tut, i don't know if its cockney! you're spurred me to investigate, i shall report back any etymological findings. (careful not to say entymological...)
hello the dotterel. He did indeed, and he just keeps going..
reya its finding it funny thats the main thing i think, knowing why is much more elusive
ched - the 2 ronnies as rocky and bullwinkle, thats very funny.
I think the sound was out of sync on the video and drove me a bit nuts. It reminded me of Gilbert and Sullivan.
ReplyDeleteYummy raspberries. And then there is always Carol Channing in Throughly Modern Millie saying "Rasberries" again and again. LOL.
You know... I got the most delicious package of yummy in the mail a little while ago. You are sooooo thoughtful and generous!! I have been wanting to send you a proper thank you for days now, but had to choose between that and showering..... Thank you is inadequate, but its all I have for now. I don't deserve you.
ReplyDeleterasperries and cava. yum!
ReplyDeletei remember being a bit frightened by this, and 'the worm has turned'......
