GBBO #2 - These bakers are not to be trifled with...

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Following on from the first thread (we were getting a bit short on space!).

Pastry week next - it's time for the dreaded soggy bottoms!

Matt looks like he's using last week's trout vol au vent filling in his.

"I'm from Yorksher, we eat our fruit cake wi' cheese" a lot of us Scots like this too. Fruit scones with jam n cheddar yum! I'm new ish to bake off this being the first series I've watched properly, are there concessions made for veggies/halal/kosher etc? Nadiya doesn't seem to be having a problem but I wondered.

HOW does one eat one of these things though?

Do you slice? Do you scoop?

I don't think concessions are usually made for halal, kosher etc, course I could be talking absolute bollocks

It's so lovely when they help each other.

Does look like Mat is outta here, though.

The Victorians must have had a lot of gout!

No (probably ) to Ian.
Yes obvs to Tamal.
Yes to Sue.
Yes possibly to Prison Paul.

Out that fat old salty dog original paul.

Are they deliberately choosing bakes that require "lairs"?

See, whilst this looks well-accomplished , I think it all looks grim and wobbly. I really don't do wobbly food.

What did Paul mutter after Ian put the crown on?

A lair is what I'd have called a grave, growing up (highlands).

why are you all calling him "prison Paul" ?? what did I miss?

He's a serial killer. He learnt to cook in jail.

not really. He's a prison officer. And looks like Paul H

Zebra are you saying you'd do impure things with Priosn Paul?!

Good lord!

Today, yes.
Yes I would.

Tamal for Star Baker!

I think tamal too

Ahh, he knew. It was the right decision.

:( for Matt
I just realised we are out of the people I'm less keen on.

I'd have preferred Paul to go, I think.

Ahhh

I am sad about Mat.

Next week's is the classic GBBO that I really enjoy.

I thought he was very resourceful, flipping his almond paste over like that I'm glad we didn't get the day-glo grass though!

Gutted matts gone, was delighted to see housewifes (or hopefully just my!) favourite Tamal crowned star baker.
Wanted bloody Ian to go, for no other reason than his reaction to his hat trick - "oh meeee, humble old me has done something wonderful" - clearly not that humble then mate

Cor Charlotte Russe with your own homemade ladyfingers, I knew JudgePaul would judge Nad's 'overlapping fingers' and Matt's stuck together ones I'd 've bought a pack me.

Even Saint Deels says buy a pack, she has a recipe for CR so obviously a Victorian throwback
