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!

At least Ian can't prettify Victorian cooking with artistically placed edible flowers. Mrs Beeton would be spinning in her grave.

I normally watch and my mouth waters, I add ingredients to my online shop as its on, plan what I'm going to make and then just feel really hungry!
I dont think this will be happening tonight ??

Calves liver in aspic perhaps?

Yum!

Squoosh there's room for many mitts, he's tall too !!!!!!

ppeatfruit I will be most generous and permit you to lay your mitts upon an imaginary Marcus!

Cor thanks squoosh I got me mitts washed specially

I was expecting Victorian sponge cake at the very least!

So who do we think will leave this week? I have no idea. I quite like all of those left. Ian is probably my least favourite though.

I think it will be Matt. I like Matt because he had a red nose, like I do.

And I like Ian because he doesn't come across very well and I'm like that too!

But I like the others more. I don't want Tamal or Nadiya or Paul to leave. They're all awesome. Is that all of them now?!

I need Ian to stay so I can continue to roll my eyes at him and his guinea fowl eggs.

I think it will be Paul. Or Flora.

Phew! I've been away and just caught up on the last two episodes and ready for tonight... sorry to see Alvin go, I thought he was a sweetie!

I do all my baking with my own quail eggs, take that Ian!

They had really good frogs?

Frocks. Grouchy.

Game pie sounds deeeee-licious.

I'd have made a good portly Victorian.

That makes more sense!

I hate game. All game. Boar is almost edible. This is not my night.

yes I was wondering about the frogs too!!

Liked the singing to start with.

I do find it odd that they have this very fixed idea of exactly what they want, but won't say so. The better mind-readers do best! Or maybe better at researching.

I've made a raised pie (about the ONLY thing on GBBO I can do!) I made it for a big party and I now do one for Christmas. It will look nothin like these pies though it looked a mess to be frank but tasted OK

Can't believe Mary hadn't heard of ras el hanout.

Get with the North African programme Maz!

Can't stand game. Mine was chicken and pork.

Game is luscious, love all the hearty flavours.

Roadkill.

Right.

The way they're talking about the Victorians makes me wonder what they'll say about us in 100 years.

It's all so Pickwick Papers, they were always scoffing pies in that book.
