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!

I can't believe that Paul didn't interrupt to educate Mary on Ras el Hanout.
Game? ROADKILL?

Not great for this sweet-toothed veggie.

I love how worried they are about Flora's pie. It's very sweet.

I think that Flora will be good at this, as will the roadkill-loving Buddhist. They're both quite trade aren't they?

Is Nadiya halal? She seems to eat gelatine?

Man I love me a pie.

Victorian pies that were sold on the street were notorious for being adulterated with rat poison and mortar and all sorts.

Rat poison would be authentic.

"They're both quite trade."

I think you can get synthetic gelatine?

Those antlers looked like labia majora

You can also get beef gelatine

Tamal's looks beautiful.

Someone give me some goddamn pie.

Quite trade? The are most certainly not that. Trad. They're traditional.

You can get seaweedy gelatine, but it's not great in a raised pie. Yup, I have tried. Pork pie is the only thing I miss. But she specifically mentioned gelatine rather than gelling agent.

I'm not criticising her, just to be clear -she can obvs cook or eat what on earth she so likes.

S ' true, she could have sourced non-porcine gelatine.

I have never written gelatine so much in so little time.

But beef is halal right? Most gelatin is beef based right?

Describing someone as being 'very trade' is a great Victorian putdown though! Very much in the theme.

Too many "right?s"

Most gelatine is piggy.

She used booze in one her bakes so I think she mustn't be too strict.

Yes. I have picked the 2 poshest on the prog and dismissed them as trade.

Cos I'm dead posher, me.

God that cake looks so very unappealing.

That's why I was so amused, squoosh.

I do love a good fruit cake. Fuck off with all the tennis malarkey, though.

Ah did she re booze, I'd not noticed. I noticed the gelatine though. And I can't seem to stop typing that word.

That tennis cake is a horror. Tennis is unseemly, all that dashing about.

And the apricots. You can keep them too. Revolting things.

I know I'm a bit late with this but Paul's face when Ian said road kill pie was hilarious

Tennis makes one sweat and sweating is so frightfully working class.

Tut.

Lawn tennis is also trade. I prefer real tennis.

Tomorrow, I aim to dismiss something as trade IRL.
