Up Close with Mrs. Patmore: What Would You Ask Downton Abbey’s Favorite Cook?

The lavish meals at Downton Abbey don’t just cook themselves. There’s a dynamo downstairs running the show and she’s become even more popular this season on Masterpiece’s hit show. These days, Mrs. Beryl Patmore is also cooking up the quips and rivaling the Dowager when it comes to tossing out sarcastic, classic one-liners to the crazy shenanigans of those around her. This week I’ll be chatting with Lesley Nicol, the actress behind Downton Abbey’s feisty, favorite cook.

What would you ask her about Mrs. Patmore and her colleagues? Tell us in the comments below, and you might get a shout out in a future Parade.com story.
