As a wanna-be Anglophile who loves old-school cooking shows from 20+ years ago of course one of my favorites of Two Fat Ladies, and was thrilled like everybody else upon finding out what an absurdly interesting life the smaller of the two, Clarissa Wright had led: a former barrister, youngest woman ever to argue in court, alcoholic, busted having sex with an MP, became homeless and lived in the streets, etc etc. Having survived all that to become part of a beloved national cooking show, no wonder she felt indestructible and insisted on adding a keg of butter to everything.
Now she gets even more interesting: according to her Wikipedia page, her full name is Clarissa Theresa Philomena Aileen Mary Josephine Agnes Elsie Trilby Louise Esmerelda Dickson Wright.
That's right, in case you missed it I said her full name is Clarissa Theresa Philomena Aileen Mary Josephine Agnes Elsie Trilby Louise Esmerelda Dickson Wright.
Now, this may be a case of some Wikipedia editing fun, a la Willie Mays being William Howard Taft's son, but either way, even in death this woman is STILL making us wonder if she is in fact the most interesting woman in the world?
"That's right asshole, walk away...leave the butter..."
